WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — High pressure will settle directly over the state of Florida on Wednesday. This will bring us another gorgeous day with sunshine and low humidity levels. The shifting southeasterly winds, however, will allow temperatures to become noticeably warmer during the afternoon. High temperatures will top out in the upper 70s. The rip current risk will be high so if you're headed to the beach make sure it's guarded.
As the high begins to pull away from the Sunshine State on Thursday and the winds go more westerly, even warmer air will settle into the area. We'll likely top out in the mid 80s Thursday afternoon although with low humidity levels it should still feel pretty good out there. I might hold off on a tee time though as the winds will be pretty gusty at times.
Behind this front Thursday Night, temperatures will plunge again! As a matter of fact, many areas will drop down into the 40s first thing Friday morning. The Treasure Coast may actually stay in the 60s for afternoon highs. Pretty rare for this time of year! But definitely enjoyable!
It will likely be a bumpy ride at times for boaters Wednesday and Thursday due to swells from a large area of low pressure off the coast of the North Carolina. A small craft advisory remains in effect Wednesday for seas of 3-6 feet.
At this point the weekend looks pretty good with sunshine mixed with clouds and temperatures in the low 80s.
