WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Monday morning will feel noticeably cooler in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Temperatures stay near seasonal levels during the day, in the lower to middle 70s.

A cloudier and cooler trend continues through the middle half of the week before we see another change in the weather pattern as a more potent cold front arrives.

Winds will start to turn out of the north, creating hazardous conditions for our waters.

A high risk for rip currents is in effect for the Palm Beaches, and a small craft advisory for the surrounding coastal waters on Monday as seas build to six to nine feet.
