WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — South Florida is settling into a familiar pattern: mostly dry, breezy, and warm.
A strong area of high pressure is keeping things quiet overall, limiting rain to just quick passing morning showers and keeping skies fairly clear. That said, don’t let the calm fool you—persistent easterly winds will keep conditions a bit gusty, especially along the coast. A few quick, light showers may drift in from the Atlantic at times, but most areas will stay dry through the daytime hours.
Temperatures will hover in the upper 70s to low 80s near the coast, with warmer mid-80s inland. The full "pink" moon will be tonight, with moonrise being 7:29 pm. It will be 100% full at 10:13 pm, and set at 7:14 am Thursday. It is called the pink moon because of the flowers that bloom this time of year, not because the moon actually appears pink.
While the weather may seem pleasant on land, conditions at the beaches and on the water tell a different story. Dangerous rip currents will remain a serious concern along all Atlantic beaches through much of the work week, and choppy conditions are expected across both the Atlantic waters and Biscayne Bay. Boaters and swimmers should stay alert, as the steady onshore breeze can quickly create hazardous situations.
Even when the skies are mostly sunny, the ocean will be far from calm. The forecast takes a more active turn by Thursday as a surge of moisture and cooler air aloft moves in. This combination could spark scattered showers and even a few stronger storms, especially inland and toward southwest Florida, later in the day.
While widespread severe weather isn’t expected, there is a low-end chance for gusty winds or small hail in isolated spots. After that, rain chances ease again heading into Friday and Saturday, though breezy conditions stick around. Looking ahead to early next week, another system could bring increased rain and slightly cooler temperatures—but the details are still coming into focus.
