WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Some showers were pushing in overnight as the low moves off the coast and strengthens. Nothing severe though.
The main story will be the wind and coastal impacts the next couple of days. For Tuesday we have a wind advisory, a high surf advisory and a gale warning. Coastal winds could gust up to tropical storm (gale) force at times in the afternoon (40-45 mph) Inland will be less.
The gale low will move northeast toward Bermuda and create a large swell that will impact our waters most of the week and weekend. The peak of the swell just about coincides with Wednesday morning's high tide around 5-6 a.m.
The wind will swing around onshore Wednesday but start to settle down some, especially Wednesday night. Then just a light breeze the rest of the week but that swell will remain through the weekend, creating hazards at the beach.
Some slight rain chances Tuesday night, then sunshine the rest of the week with a slow moderation of temperatures into the upper 70s by the weekend.
