WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Temperatures are warming up today across South Florida. Highs will reach the mid-80s across most areas, with lower 80s along the Treasure Coast. Humidity is on blast, so it will feel uncomfortably sticky throughout today.

Winds will shift from the southwest to the west and northwest later today, bringing slightly drier air by Friday evening.
