South Florida will experience mostly dry conditions with isolated rain chances Thursday, while hazardous marine conditions are expected to continue along the Atlantic coast. Local temperatures will hover in the mid-80s, and rip currents pose risks at area beaches, particularly for those near I-95 and along the coast.
According to the National Weather Service, South Florida’s weather will see a slight chance of sprinkles or showers during the day Thursday, with precipitation at 20%. Temperatures will remain seasonally warm, reaching a high of 83°F in Miami. Winds will come from the northeast, gusting up to 20 mph, particularly along the coastal regions of Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
The National Weather Service also warns that rip currents are a significant concern across Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade beaches. These elevated risks are forecast to persist through Thursday and into the weekend, affecting swimmers and surfers alike. Boaters should also be cautious, as hazardous marine conditions are anticipated, with waves reaching 5-7 feet in some areas. This hazardous outlook extends through the middle of next week.
Those planning to travel near the coast or use I-95 are urged to monitor road conditions and be mindful of potential wet roads due to brief showers. Beachgoers are advised to stay informed of rip current alerts and heed lifeguard warnings before entering the water. Looking ahead, Friday and Saturday are expected to be mostly sunny with highs around 82°F and cooler evening temperatures dipping into the mid-70s.
