WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The overall weather pattern remains very similar across the Treasure Coast today with warm temperatures, breezy east-southeast winds, and only isolated storm chances near the coast.
A few spotty showers may drift onshore this morning from the Atlantic, especially near Vero Beach, Fort Pierce, and Stuart, but most coastal communities should remain dry through much of the daytime hours.
As the east coast sea breeze pushes inland this afternoon, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop mainly west of I-95 and toward inland St. Lucie, Indian River County, and Lake Okeechobee. Storms will then gradually drift farther west into the evening rather than pushing back toward the coast.
Most areas stay dry today, but any storms that develop could produce:
- Frequent lightning
- Brief heavy downpours
- Gusty winds
High temperatures today climb into the upper 80s while heat index values rise into the 90s.
The biggest concern at the beaches remains the surf. A high risk of dangerous rip currents continues along the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches, and entering the water is strongly discouraged.

- Breezy onshore flow
- Warm temperatures
- Spotty coastal showers early
- Inland-focused afternoon storms
Most storm activity once again develops west of the Treasure Coast during the afternoon and evening hours.
