Stalled Front to Fuel Showers and Storms in South Florida Through Weekend

Breezy onshore flow raises a high rip-current risk along Palm Beach County beaches.

Overview

  • Weak front has stalled near Lake Okeechobee, turning winds onshore and supporting scattered showers across the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches.
  • Rain chances increase Saturday through Monday, with most areas projected to receive roughly a half inch to just over an inch and isolated heavier totals where storms linger.
  • Dry air aloft is expected to limit widespread severe weather, though a few storms could briefly become strong with lightning and heavy downpours.
  • Coastal winds may gust near 25 mph, creating rough surf and dangerous rip currents, with the highest risk focused on Palm Beach County.
  • Forecasts call for a stronger cold front late Monday or early Tuesday, dropping highs from the mid-80s Monday to the low-to-mid 70s by Tuesday.
