WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A persistent gusty easterly wind will join forces with a disturbance coming out of the Bahamas on Tuesday and once again bring the chance of showers and downpours to south Florida. While most of this activity has been very hit or miss over the past few days, Tuesday's round could be a little more intense and widespread. Repeated rounds of heavy rainfall could even bring a bit of urban flooding. It's a small threat at this point, but should we begin to see gusty rain squalls move over the same areas, the threat will become greater. Otherwise, it's another very warm, humid and breezy day with highs in the low 80s.

The strong gradient wind continues on Wednesday with more showers around from time to time. Maybe even a thunderstorm as the easterly wind continues to pull in moisture off the Atlantic. Computer guidance shows some areas from the Palm Beaches to the Treasure Coast picking up 2 to 4 inches of rain over the next two days.
The wind will finally begin to settle down a bit on Thursday lowering the shower chances. Although a few areas could still briefly get wet at times.
A cold front arrives late in the week and much cooler air moves in for the weekend. The Treasure Coast and rural areas around Lake Okeechobee will drop down into the 40s again at night with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s..
