Nice Start, Rainy Finish Today

rainy finish

South Florida’s Saturday will start off nice, but we’ll see a rainy finish. After a mild and dry morning, the day features some sun in the morning and building clouds in the afternoon. Showers and a few storms will move in from the west, starting in the afternoon along the Gulf coast and in the evening further east. A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains in place at the Atlantic beaches. Highs on Saturday will be in the upper 70s.

We’ll set our clocks forward one hour as Daylight Saving Time begins in the wee hours of Sunday. Sunday morning will be rainy, with lows in the mid to upper 60s, and the day will bring clouds and some showers. Sunday’s highs will be in the low 80s.

Another front approaches our area on Monday, and we’ll see sun, clouds, and periods of showers as it moves in. Monday’s highs will be in the low 80s.

Tuesday will see a few lingering showers followed by clearing skies. Tuesday’s highs will be in the mid 70s.

Look for sun, some clouds, and maybe a shower on Wednesday. Highs on Wednesday will top out in the low to mid 70s.
