WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Showers overnight will be very spotty with a gusty breeze. The muggies will begin to make a bit of a comeback after midnight too. The wind will veer (turn clockwise) tomorrow settling into a more southwesterly direction after lunchtime. This will allow temperatures to soar into the mid 80s! The added humidity will make it feel a little uncomfortable at times. Nothing awful, but definitely noticeable. Some areas could actually see a heat index near 90 degrees by mid afternoon. Maybe even a degree or two warmer.
A cold front approaches Wednesday afternoon. This is the same front that is producing all kinds of severe weather for the folks in New Orleans tonight celebrating Mardi Gras. This powerful squall line has produced a lot of wind damage out there including uprooted and downed trees, power outages and structural damage. Fortunately for us, we will see a much weaker version of this front. As a matter of fact, the most we'll likely see from this will be a couple showers with a downpour or two mixed in and a rumble of thunder as all the upper level support passes us by to the north.

The bigger story with this cold front will be the much cooler, dryer air that rushes in on the backside Thursday and Friday. Low temperatures Friday morning could actually drop down into the upper 40s on the Treasure Coast! Highs will top out in the mid 70s.
Another warm up is on the way this weekend! Once again we'll see temperatures topping out in the mid 80s with another spotty downpour or thunderstorm chance Sunday afternoon.
