Wet Wednesday

By Donna Thomas, SouthFloridaReporter.com Meteorologist, Oct. 28, 2015 – South Florida will be wet on Wednesday, with periods of showers (and even a few storms) and tidal flooding in low-lying areas at the coast. Look for passing showers from early in the morning into the evening, the possibility of afternoon storms in spots, highs in the humid mid to upper 80s, and coastal flooding during high tides during late morning and again in the evening.

Thursday will be on the rainy side again, with passing showers and a few storms. Thursday’s highs will be in the mid to upper 80s. The showers will begin to taper off on Friday as a weak front finally moves through South Florida, and highs will be in the mid 80s. Halloween will feature a few passing showers on the breeze and highs in the mid 80s. Set your clocks back one hour for the start of standard time on Sunday. Enjoy the extra hour of sleep and wake up to a breezy day with just a few passing showers and highs in the mid 80s.
