Humid southeast winds have developed on the backside of a warm front
currently located over north Florida. Any chance for precipitation
overnight will remain limited to the Atlantic waters and adjacent
Treasure Coast beaches where a shower or two may brush the coast.
Otherwise, partly cloudy skies will prevail with warm overnight lows
around 70 degrees expected, which is about 10 degrees above normal
for this time of year.
There will be a chance for showers and a slight chance for
thunderstorms across central Florida through late afternoon, but
these will be decreasing through sunset. Most areas will remain
dry, but areas that do receive rain will see between 0.10" and
0.25". Conditions will remain quite warm and humid as southeasterly
winds prevail around 10 mph with occasional gusts to 20 mph. Readings
will hold in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
There will be a HIGH rip current threat along area beaches this
afternoon. Beach goers are urged to swim only at guarded beaches.
Over the open Atlantic, a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for
the offshore Atlantic waters for east to southeast winds around 20
knots and seas 6 to 7 feet. Small Craft should exercise Caution near
the coast.
A stationary frontal boundary over south Florida will lift north as
a warm front this afternoon. Temperatures will be quite warm as
winds shift to a more southerly direction, with highs reaching the
mid to upper 80s. The combination of temperature and humidity will
produce peak heat indices between 90 and 95.
Scattered showers over the Atlantic will move onshore at 20 to 25
mph. These showers will produce brief periods of moderate to heavy
rain, with local amounts up to a half inch possible. A few of these
showers will carry wind gusts around 25 mph.
There will be a HIGH rip current threat along area beaches this
afternoon. Beach goers are urged to swim only at guarded beaches.
