WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Rain chances will significantly drop by Friday thanks to a huge plume of Saharan dust and high-pressure building back in, creating intense heat. Isolated showers with rumbles of thunder are still possible in the morning.
It will be hot and humid Friday afternoon with a mostly sunny sky. Highs will be in the lower 90s with heat indices near 100-105.
It will be a bit breezy in the afternoon with southeasterly winds gusting up to 20-25 mph. This will create a bit of a chop on the water.
There is also a high risk for rip currents tomorrow.

A weak low-pressure system is forming along a stalled front in the northern Gulf and will have a chance to develop along the northern Gulf Coast as it drifts westward towards Texas.
There is also a tropical wave south of the Cabo Verde Islands that could develop briefly. It is not highlighted yet, but we are keeping an eye on it.
