WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — South Florida is heating up this week as high pressure settles over the state, bringing above-normal temperatures and mostly dry conditions through early Thursday.
Patchy fog will once again develop overnight through the morning. Visibility may be low in low-lying areas that are prone to fog. Overnight lows settle into the mid- to upper-60s inland and low 70s.
Mainly sunny and dry air will dominate the forecast for Wednesday. Afternoon highs will climb into the mid-upper 80s. Coastal areas will stay a bit cooler in the mid-80s thanks to the sea breeze.
By Thursday, things begin to change as a cold front approaches from the north. Temperatures will remain very warm ahead of the front, with many areas still reaching the upper 80s on Thursday. Rain chances increase during the late afternoon and evening, with scattered showers and thunderstorms developing as the front moves through the region Thursday night.
The more unsettled pattern sticks around into the weekend and early next week.
