Tuesday will be warm again ahead of an approaching cold front with high temperatures in the mid and upper 80s. Also, spotty showers are possible for Tuesday afternoon.
The cold front will arrive over the Treasure Coast by late Wednesday. However, don't expect much of a cooldown. But do expect slightly lower humidity levels. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 80s from Wednesday to Friday.
Windy conditions are expected Wednesday and Thursday, so a few passing showers are possible along the strong breeze for the mornings both days.
Then another cold front pushes down Florida on Friday with cooler temperatures by the weekend. Low temperatures will finally dip to the 60s and highs in the low 80s with a nice breeze.
Marine hazards continue this week with a small craft advisory in effect and a high risk of rip currents. Be safe out there!
Only swim on guarded beaches and make sure you're not alone when you go into the water. Remember if you ever get caught up in a rip current don't fight it. Let it pull you out. Start swimming parallel to the shoreline until you feel yourself coming out of the current. Then start swimming towards shore again.
In the tropics, there is a newly highlighted area in the southwest Caribbean where a broad area of low pressure will likely form over the southwestern Caribbean Sea. The system has a 50% chance of development over the next seven days.
Some forecast models strengthen it into a tropical storm by this weekend. From there, a couple of scenarios are possible including one that would take it north into the Florida Keys. Other scenarios push it west into Central America. We'll keep an eye on it and continue to issue updates.
The rest of the Atlantic waters are quiet at the moment. Hurricane season officially comes to an end on Nov. 30.
