WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Today brings a mix of sun and clouds with isolated showers. A brief thunderstorm isn’t out of the question early afternoon, but most areas won’t see steady rain. High temperatures will land in the upper 70s to low-80s. Along the beaches, there’s still a risk of rip currents through this morning, lingering along the Palm Beach and Treasure Coast coastline into the evening, so swimmers should stay cautious.
As we head into the weekend, moisture and instability tick up just enough to bring a better chance for scattered afternoon showers and a few thunderstorms. Rain chances remain in the 25–35% range, with activity favoring inland and northern areas later in the day, but some storms may drift back toward the coast, especially Sunday. Winds will also ease, becoming light or even calm at times, especially by Sunday, before shifting to a more southerly flow.
