windy wednesday

South Florida will be windy Wednesday, but where you’re located will determine whether it’s wet as well.

image5We’ll see some passing showers on the strong northeast breeze in Miami-Dade and Broward, but along the Gulf coast, clouds and just a stray shower or two will zip through on Wednesday. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s in Miami-Dade, Broward, and interior locations but solidly in the mid 80s in Naples and Marco Island. Look for a high risk of dangerous rip currents at the Atlantic beaches on Wednesday, the risk will remain elevated through the workweek.

Saturday will feature a few showers on the breeze and highs in the mid 80s.

While a few showers could linger along the east coast on Sunday, the Gulf coast will see sun and clouds. Highs on Sunday will be in the mid 80s.
