WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Brisk northeasterly winds will stick around through the weekend and into Monday too. The strong onshore wind will continue to bring hazardous boating conditions and rough surf.

A high surf advisory is in effect with large breaking waves of over 7 feet at the beach and very rough coastal waters with seas around 7 to 10 feet.

Also, the king tides continue through early next week, so a coastal flood advisory is in effect. Expect tidal flooding in low-lying areas along the coast, as well as beach erosion possible.

Rain chances are 20% to 30% through Sunday since a light shower or drizzle is possible along the breeze.

Temperatures will stay near average with highs in the mid-80s this weekend. Passing showers are possible both Saturday and Sunday.

We don't expect any thunderstorms this weekend.
