WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Storm activity will start to wind down this evening, and we should stay mainly dry overnight.

Some changes are coming for the weekend as a tropical wave brings more moisture to the area.

As a result, scattered storms will be possible at just about any time with a more erratic pattern. Most of the area looks to pick up 1-2 inches of rain with locally higher amounts.

Tropical wave weekend of Aug. 24-25, 2024

As the wave pushes to our west to start the workweek, high pressure builds back in and our storm coverage drops down to 30% - 40%.

Daytime highs look to stay near average around 90 degrees with lows dropping into the mid and upper 70s.

There will be a moderate to high risk of rip currents on Saturday with a steady beach breeze. Be safe at the beach and make sure to swim around lifeguards.

The tropics look to stay quiet through early next week
