Breezy and Mostly Dry Election Day

mostly dry

mostly dryElection Day will be breezy and mostly dry around South Florida, so no excuses — get out and vote. Look for sun, clouds on a strong ocean breeze, a high risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches, and highs in the mid 80s on Tuesday.

Wednesday will be a bit less breezy (but the risk of dangerous rip currents will remain high at the beaches), and a shower or two could blow in at times. Wednesday’s highs will be in the mid 80s.

A front moves through the area on Thursday, bringing passing showers and clouds on the breeze. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s on Thursday.

Friday will feature sun, a few clouds and maybe a lingering shower on the breeze, and highs in the upper 70s.

Saturday will see some passing showers and clouds on a strong breeze, some sun, and highs in the upper 70s.

The tropics remain quiet.
