WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Clear and chilly overnight in the wake of the cold front that swept through south Florida early Monday morning. That front produced a few thunderstorms and some much needed rain across Palm Beach County. Doppler radar estimates were over two inches south and west of the airport. Hardly enough to really put a dent in the drought, but it's a start. As of this morning, the rainfall deficit in West Palm Beach was more than ten and a half inches since November 1st.
Moving forward, Tuesday and Wednesday are great days in south Florida with bright blue skies, a comfortable breeze and low humidity. High temperatures on Tuesday will only top out in the low to mid 70s from the Treasure Coast to the Palm Beaches. A tough warmer on Wednesday with highs in the upper 70s.
Thursday is a warmer day as a cold front approaches from the northwest. The winds will turn more south southwesterly which will not only increase the temperature, but also the humidity. Highs in the mid 80s.
Cooler air moves in again behind the front on Friday!
Boaters will have to take it easy over the next few days. A small Craft Advisory is in effect on Tuesday for 5-8 foot waves and north, northeasterly winds of 15-25 knots. Wednesday and Thursday could also be a little bumpy at times, but the roughest day appears to be Friday (6-9 foot waves).
