Tuesday features windy conditions and periods of showers and storms as a front approaches.  Look for the showers and storms to begin in the morning hours along the Gulf coast and late morning to noontime in the east coast metro area.  Strong storms are possible in some locations and could bring heavy rain, localized flooding, dangerous lightning, and damaging winds.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents is in place at all South Florida beaches through Wednesday evening.  Highs on Tuesday will be in the low 80s.

Wednesday will start with a cool morning, with lows mostly in the low 60s.  The day will be very breezy, sunny, and on the cool side.  Wednesday’s highs will be mostly in the low 70s, with a few locations reaching the mid-70s.

Faith Based Events

Thursday will begin with morning lows in the mid-50s, followed by lots of sun but not much of a warmup.  Thursday’s highs will be in the mid-70s in the east coast metro area and the low 70s along the Gulf coast.

Friday will feature a rather chilly morning, but we’ll see plenty of sun throughout the day.  The night should be cool and dry — great flying weather for Santa.  Friday’s highs will be mostly in the upper 70s.

The Christmas Day forecast calls for plenty of sun and good times with family and friends.  Highs on Saturday will be in the upper 70s.
