WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Today brings the best chance for storm activity, thanks to a pocket of cooler air aloft and enough moisture in the lower atmosphere to get storms going. Expect scattered showers to develop late morning and push inland toward the Gulf side by the afternoon. While most storms will stay fairly typical, a few could briefly turn stronger—producing gusty winds or small hail, mainly around the lake and southwestern Florida.
The overall severe risk remains low, but it’s not completely off the table.
Unfortunately, this week continues to not be ideal for visiting the beach, as dangerous rip currents are expected to persist along the entire east coast through much of the workweek. A steady easterly breeze will keep conditions choppy, not just along the shoreline but also across Atlantic waters and Biscayne Bay.
That same onshore wind will help steer weather patterns, setting the stage for passing showers and a few thunderstorms, especially as the day heats up.
Conditions begin to settle down heading into Friday and the weekend, with fewer storms and a bit more dry air moving in. You’ll still see isolated showers at times, especially with sea breezes in play, but rain chances stay relatively low.
Temperatures will hover in the low to mid-80s, with breezy easterly winds. Looking ahead to early next week, moisture builds back in, bringing increasing rain chances and possibly more widespread showers and storms by midweek—though the exact setup is still uncertain.
