Winter Returns To Florida

Monday starts with breezy conditions, showers, and a few storms as a strong front moves in.  Look for clouds on the breeze to give way to sun during the afternoon.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents is in place at both the Atlantic and Gulf beaches.  Highs on Monday will be in the low to mid-70s in the east coast metro area and near 70 degrees along the Gulf coast.
