South Florida will see sun and showers on Wednesday, but rainy days are ahead as an upper level low approaches. Wednesday features sun and clouds, a few passing showers on the ocean breeze, and a high risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches (which will continue through Thursday). Highs on Wednesday will be in the upper 80s.
The upper level low arrives on Thursday, so look for periods of storms and showers on a strong breeze. Thursday’s highs will be in the upper 80s.
Friday will be rainy and mostly cloudy, and we’ll see rounds of storms and showers. Friday’s highs will be in the mid to upper 80s.
The upper level low moves out late on Friday, but moisture will linger on Saturday and Sunday. Both weekend days feature less breeze but plenty of passing showers and storms. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will be in the upper 80s.
