Pleasant Seasonable Weather

pleasant

South Florida has received a Christmas gift — pleasant seasonable weather.  Christmas morning starts on the cool side, and then good sun and a few clouds take over.  Highs on Tuesday will be in the upper 70s — typical for late December and perfect for holiday gatherings.

A few east coast showers move in on the breeze overnight and on Wednesday, but we’ll also see sun and clouds.  Wednesday’s highs will be near 80 degrees.

Look for clouds, showers, and windy conditions on Thursday.  The risk of dangerous rip currents will increase at the Atlantic beaches on Thursday into Friday.  Thursday’s highs will be mostly in the upper 70s.

Friday will be cloudy and breezy with periods of showers.  Friday’s highs will be in the low 80s.  A storm is possible overnight along the east coast.

Saturday will bring sun, clouds, and a few showers in spots.  Highs on Saturday will be in the low 80s.
