Warm, Dry Weekend Settles Over South Florida With High Rip Current Risk

Beach conditions may appear inviting despite a northeast swell producing hazardous currents.

Overview

  • Strong high pressure is delivering mostly sunny, very dry weather through the weekend with highs in the upper 70s to mid-80s.
  • A persistent northeast swell is keeping a high risk of dangerous rip currents along the Atlantic beaches, and forecasters urge swimmers to stay out of the water.
  • Rain is not expected through the weekend as dry air limits clouds, and lower humidity will create fire-sensitive conditions.
  • Temperatures climb early next week, with many inland locations reaching the mid to upper 80s and a few spots nearing 90 by late week.
  • A weak front Tuesday into Wednesday may bring only brief, spotty showers mainly north of the Palm Beaches toward the Treasure Coast.
