WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Look for scattered showers and periods of rain to continue through early Sunday morning. We are under a marginal risk for excessive rain for the eastern third of Palm Beach County and points south.

It won't take much more rain to cause localized flooding as our grounds are saturated from all of the rains of last week

Sunday will feature a mix of sun and clouds with high temps in the middle 80s with intermittent rain showers through the day. A few storms will be possible too.

A warm front to our south and a weak disturbance will create isentropic lifting. This happens when warmer air over lifts over shallow surface cold air because the warmer air is less dense. Typically - in these patterns - we see widespread light to moderate rain.

A cold front looks to sweep southward by Wednesday, which is good news for those seeking fall-like air. The front will lower high temperatures to be in the upper 70s and lower 80s.

Overnight lows will feel chilly for some - with readings dipping into the 60s.

Winds will pick up by mid-week with gusts to 30 mph. Dangerous surf will return following the cold front with seas as high as 8 feet.
