WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Hurricane Imelda continues to pull away from the east coast of Florida tonight following Hurricane Humberto out to sea. Even though no direct impacts were felt, the beach erosion has been severe for some of the local beaches. Palm Beach has 3 to 5 foot cliffs near Worth Avenue and getting worse.
Large swells and rough seas will continue to be the name of the game over the next few days. Dangerous boating conditions are expected from coastal Palm Beach County through the Treasure Coast and up into the Space Coast.
We'll be on the back side of a departing Imelda Wednesday and Thursday which will allow humidity levels to drop off just a little bit with a west-northwesterly wind. The humidity is not going to drop a ton, but enough to where it's noticeable. Maybe a spotty passing shower at times, otherwise the sun is in and out of the clouds both days.
As we get closer to the weekend two things are going to happen. First, the humidity will come back so even though air temperatures will only be in the mid to upper 80s, it might not feel as comfortable as you would like. Second, the threat of downpours and thunderstorms returns. We're going to be watching an area off the south Florida coast near the Bahamas. Low pressure may try to form. If it does, drenching downpours may develop and maybe a bit of poor drainage flooding.
