WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The temperatures will warm a bit overnight as winds swing onshore.

Mostly cloudy Thursday with rain chances starting after lunch time.

Scattered showers and a few strong storms possible mid afternoon through the early evening hours.

The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center doesn't have us in any severe risk but we'll need to watch late in the day as the warm front moves north for some stronger action that could happen.

On Friday, a cold front moves south, bringing a quick line of showers and storms in the afternoon, early evening then clearing out and turning colder for the weekend.
 
It looks like we change up the pattern a bit too so instead of a front coming every few days, it'll be once a week. We will go back to what we had in the beginning of winter where a front moves through, behind it sprawling high pressure to the north will pump in breezy onshore winds for a good five to six days until the next front moves in. This produces rough seas and some clouds/passing showers, but milder temperatures. This may last until around mid-February where winter may kick in in full force and turn cold.
