Feels Like Fall in South Florida

By Donna Thomas, SouthFloridaReporter.com Meteorologist, Oct. 4, 2015 – It feels like fall in South Florida on Sunday. After a refreshing morning with lows in the low image370s, look for lots of sun, some clouds on the breeze, low humidity, and highs in the upper 80s. The only problems will be in the surf, with a risk of dangerous rip currents and minor tidal flooding in low-lying areas, conditions which could last into Tuesday.

Monday will be pleasant, with just the chance of a quick shower, sun and clouds, and highs in the upper 80s. A few more showers and clouds could be around on Tuesday, and highs will once again be in the upper 80s. The rest of the workweek will feature sun and clouds, a few quick showers in spots, and highs in the upper 80s.

At 5 am, Joaquin was located near 29.7 North, 67.7 West, and was racing northeast at 20 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 120 miles per hour, but the hurricane is forecast to weaken somewhat as it approaches Bermuda. Joaquin will continue into the central Atlantic, weaken more rapidly, and lose its tropical characteristics in a few days.
