WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — As we head into this evening some showers are possible, mainly inland, with temperatures dipping into the 70s around sunset. Tonight, mostly cloudy skies with lows in the low to mid-70s.

Tomorrow, windy with highs in the low 80s. We'll see a mix of sun and clouds and some quick-moving showers.

Wednesday, windy with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. An area of low pressure from the Gulf of Mexico will pump in deep tropical moisture increasing rain chances. We'll see numerous showers and storms increasing throughout the day and that could lead to heavy downpours and the potential for flash flooding. We're under a level 1 out of 4 threat for excessive rainfall.

On Thursday we'll start off the day with scattered storms and windy conditions. As the area of low pressure pulls away from the state the weather improves throughout the day. Slow clearing with winds coming down and highs in the upper 70s-low 80s.

Friday, drier air settles in and rain chances come down. We still could see some wrap-around moisture behind the area of low pressure, but just expecting some hit/miss showers. Highs in the upper 70s-low 80s.

Saturday, a cool front moves in and this will help reinforce the drier air. We'll see mostly sunny skies for the weekend with only an isolated shower possible. The humidity comes down and highs dip into the upper 70s-low 80s.

In the tropics, a broad area of low pressure is projected to form over the southwestern Caribbean in a few days. Formation chance through seven days: 70%.
