Pleasant Winter Weekend

Pleasant
Evening forecast

South Florida will enjoy a pleasant winter weekend, something in short supply since El Nino showed up. After a mild Saturday morning, look for sun, clouds and maybe a quick shower on an ocean breeze, a high risk of dangerous rip currents at the beaches, and highs in the seasonable upper 70s.

Sunday Forecast

Sunday will start off with morning lows in the upper 60s and turn into another day of sun, clouds, just the slight chance of a stray shower, and highs in the upper 70s.

Temperatures increase along with rain chances on Monday. Look for some showers and afternoon highs in the low 80s.

Tuesday will see some early showers and highs in the low to mid 80s, followed by more showers and storms late Tuesday.

Highs in the mid 80s and showers and storms are in the forecast for Wednesday as a front approaches, and gusty winds and periods of heavy rain are possible.

The front should move through by Thursday morning, leading to drier conditions and afternoon temperatures in the mid 70s.
