Rain chances are around 60% for the Palm Beaches, with scattered storms also expected across the Treasure Coast.

A few stronger storms could produce gusty winds, frequent lightning and torrential downpours. Our chance of seeing any severe storms drops due to some slight warming of the mid levels of the atmosphere.

While all of South Florida will see widespread storms through most of the week - the highest coverage will be across interior areas and the southwest coast.

Due to the additional cloud cover and rain - temps will stay near average for this time of year around 90 degrees. Feels-like temps will peak in the low 100s most days.

Seas stay around 2 feet for the boaters with a moderate risk of rip currents at local beaches. When you are spending time outdoors this week - keep an eye to the sky and when thunder roars - head indoors!
