WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The cooler pattern change is now underway here in South Florida.
Many areas will bottom out in the 40s over the next three mornings, but by afternoon those same areas will top out in the upper 60s, low 70s.
It's a really nice change of pace from the high heat and humidity that we deal with over the summer months.
Give the air conditioners a break for a few days! Make sure the little ones dress warmly waiting for the school bus.
Thursday night will be the first of three chilly nights as temps dip to the low 50s and upper 40s.
Friday will be breezy and cool with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Friday night will be quite chilly for South Florida with lows dropping into the 40s, except right along the coast. It will continue to be breezy, so there will be a little bit of a wind chill that makes it feel colder.
Over the weekend, highs will continue to be below average, in the 70s. Saturday night will also be quite chilly as winds go calm, and we could see more 40s area-wide by Sunday morning.
Sunday afternoon will start a slow warm-up, and through Thanksgiving week temperatures will continue to warm into the 80s with ample sunshine each day. Morning lows come up also into the 60s.
In the tropics, nothing is expected over the next seven days. The tropics will most likely remain quiet to close out the season, which officially ends on Nov. 30.
Boating and Beach Forecast
We're expecting rough seas out there once again Friday afternoon with 4-to-6-foot waves breaking on the beaches. There could even be a few larger swells at times, which will create a very strong undertow. Even the intracoastal waters will be choppy! The risk for life-threatening rip currents is very high so only go into the water on guarded beaches.
