Hang On To Your Umbrella It’ll Be A Wet And Wild Weekend

wet

South Florida’s weekend will be on the wet side. Look for periods of showers on Saturday, and a stray storm is possible in spots. Saturday’s highs will be in the mid 80s, even with plenty of clouds.

Showers are already spreading across South Florida this morning, and we will see increasing coverage through the day. The best chances will likely be later this afternoon along the east coast.

A few storms will be possible into this afternoon across the region, with the potential to produce some gusty winds up to 50 mph. Remember the lightning is number one hazard with any storm!

In addition to storms, a moderate to high rip current risk continues along the Atlantic beaches.

A front approaches on Sunday, so look for some early showers, followed by afternoon showers and even a storm or two. Highs will be in the mid 80s, but cooler and drier air will move in overnight as the front passes.

Monday morning will see lows mostly in the low 60s, and afternoon temperatures will just reach the low to mid 70s.

Tuesday will also be on the cool side, with morning lows around 60 degrees and highs topping out in the mid 70s.

More seasonable temperatures will arrive on Wednesday, with morning lows mostly in the mid 60s and afternoon highs in the upper 70s.[/vc_column_text][vc_message]
