WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Clouds will increase overnight ahead of our next major weather maker. A stray shower or sprinkle is also possible. Lows will fall near 60 for the Treasure Coast and the mid-upper 60s for the Palm Beaches.
Make sure you have your umbrella with you before you head out the door Monday as we are tracking a wet day ahead.
A low pressure system will move through the Gulf over the next day or so and approach South Florida. Rain looks to first arrive during the late morning hours before spreading east towards the coast in the early afternoon. Periods of heavy rainfall are expected all day Monday and through Tuesday morning. Common rain totals are forecast to be between 1-2 inches.

A few thunderstorms will also be possible. The severe weather risk is low, but heavy rainfall could lead to isolated areas of flooding, especially in spots that are prone to flood.
The ground is very dry right now, so we could use a nice, soaking rain! West Palm Beach is roughly 4 inches below normal since January 1.
Highs will attempt to reach the mid 70s in the Palm Beaches and near 70 for the Treasure Coast.
With leftover moisture on Tuesday, a few lingering showers are possible as the system pulls south and east of us. Clouds will clear out by Wednesday allowing for nice weather and highs back near 80.
A cold front will approach on Thursday, but it won't have enough moisture to bring much, if any, rain to the area. It will bring us chillier air for the last day of February as highs struggle to get out of the 60s.
