WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Clouds will start to clear out overnight, but it will stay muggy. Lows will be in the mid-upper 70s in the Treasure Coast and near 80 for the Palm Beaches.

We are expecting much drier weather to arrive on Friday. This doesn't mean it will feel dry due to the high dew points near the ground, but with high pressure moving in and drier air in the mid-levels of the atmosphere, rain chances will be limited through the next few days.

By next week, rain chances will start to increase again, back to typical summertime levels.

The disturbance that moved through the northern Gulf has now moved inland over Louisiana today. Heavy rainfall and some flooding is still expected for parts of the northern Gulf coast through Friday.
