WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The weather for the Palm Beaches and the Treasure Coast is taking a much-welcomed break from the intense summer heat, but it brings some hazardous conditions for beachgoers and boaters on Wednesday.

High temperatures are forecasted to top out in the mid-80s, well below the last few days — accompanied by light rain conditions during the day.
Expect a few storms on Wednesday afternoon, but not as active as Tuesday, which prompted a couple of severe thunderstorm warnings in Palm Beach County.
A cold front pushing through the region is significantly kicking up the wind.
Expect sustained northerly winds at 18 mph, creating rough, choppy conditions along the coast and hazardous boating conditions on the water.
If you are planning to hit the beaches or head out on a boat, use extreme caution, as the combination of brisk northerly winds and building seas will make the ocean quite unforgiving today.
