We’re Under A Wind Advisory Today

South Florida will be under a wind advisory on Friday as showers hang around.  Friday features windy conditions, clouds, and periods of showers.  Coastal flooding is likely along the Gulf coast.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains in place at all South Florida beaches.  Strong west-southwest winds are expected later this morning with speeds 25 to 30 mph and gusts to 40 mph. Highs on Friday will be in the low 70s along the Gulf coast and the mid 70s in the east coast metro area.

Saturday morning will bring lows in the 50s.  We’ll see lots of sun on Saturday, but highs will top out in the upper 60s.

Sunday morning will be chilly, with lows ranging from the upper 40s to mid 50s — and feeling a bit colder.  The day features plenty of sun and a few clouds at times.  Sunday’s highs will be in the low 70s.

Monday will feature good sun and a few clouds.  Monday’s highs will be in the mid 70s.  Christmas Eve will be pleasant and dry — great flying conditions for Santa and the reindeer.

Our Christmas Day weather is a gift of sun, clouds, and dry conditions.  Highs on Tuesday will be in the mid to upper 70s.
