Sunday features breezy conditions and clouds, showers, and storms in the East Coast metro area.  Heavy rainfall is likely.  The Gulf Coast will see sun and clouds in the morning and plenty of showers and storms in the afternoon and evening.  The Keys will see more clouds than sun and plenty of showers.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches on Sunday, and it will likely be extended into the first half of the workweek.  Expect minor to moderate coastal flooding near high tides along the Atlantic coast, and at least moderate coastal flooding is likely in the Keys on Sunday.  Sunday’s highs will be in the low 80s right at the Atlantic coast and in the mid-80s elsewhere in South Florida.

Monday will bring clouds and showers, with a gusty breeze, to the East Coast metro area, and heavy rain is possible.  The Gulf Coast will see more clouds than sun, with morning storms and afternoon showers and a gusty breeze.  The Keys will be mostly sunny with periods of showers.  Expect an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches.  At least minor coastal flooding at high tides is likely along the Atlantic coast, and moderate coastal flooding is likely in the Keys.  Monday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Election Day will feature mostly sunny skies around South Florida, with a few storms as well in the East Coast metro area and a shower or two along the Gulf Coast. The Keys will see lots of sun.  Expect an elevated risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches.  At least minor coastal flooding near high tides is possible along the Gulf coast and in the Keys.  Tuesday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Wednesday will be mostly sunny on the mainland, but expect some afternoon showers and storms as well.  The Keys will be mostly sunny, with only a chance of a stray shower.  Wednesday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.

Faith Based Events

Thursday’s forecast calls for lots of sun around South Florida, but we can’t rule out a shower or storm on the mainland.  Highs on Thursday will be in the mid-80s on the mainland and mostly in the low 80s in the Keys.

As we begin the last month of the 2026 hurricane season, the tropical Atlantic is quiet.
