Much of Florida continues to feel the effects of Hurricane Milton on Thursday as it moves across the state. Storm surge from the hurricane is affecting both coasts, and the Keys are dealing with coastal flooding. It will be some time before we have a full assessment of the damage Milton has caused.
Here in South Florida, Thursday will be windy and cloudy with periods of storms in the east coast metro area and the Keys. The Gulf Coast can expect tropical storm conditions which will gradually improve during the evening. A high risk of dangerous rip currents is in place at all South Florida beaches. Highs on Thursday will be in the mid-80s.
Friday will be mostly sunny with a brisk and gusty breeze. The east coast metro area could see a few afternoon storms. Friday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.
Saturday will feature plenty of sun and a few clouds on the mainland. Look for an afternoon storm in spots in the east coast metro area. The Keys will be on the cloudy side with some storms. Saturday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.
Sunday will be mostly sunny with some showers and storms, especially in the afternoon. Sunday’s highs will be in the mid-80s.
Monday’s forecast calls for a mix of sun, clouds, and showers. Highs on Monday will be in the mid-80s.
Hurricane Milton continues to be the big story in the tropics — and is expected to cause damage at historic levels. Elsewhere in the tropics, Leslie continues to maintain hurricane strength. It is still moving northwest, but a northward turn is expected on Thursday. The non-tropical low that’s now southwest of Bermuda now has a medium chance of becoming a tropical or subtropical storm, but it will soon encounter hostile conditions. Finally, a wave is moving off the African coast and into the eastern Atlantic. It has a low chance of development but will affect the Cabo Verde Islands on Friday.
