South florida, on this sunday morning things are looking pretty good so far. Rain free from miamidade up into broward county. We are seeing some showers over coastal West Palm Beach beginning to move in along that east wind and that t uld be the trend further to the south, if anything forms near the coast with that east wind we e e move through.

Were waking up to temperatures around 74 degrees in miami, 72 in kendall area. Still cooler opalocka 71 degrees, this is after king up to temperatures in the 50s and 60s earlier this morning. Lets take a a look outside because its already looking yesterday at this time. Today were seeingng a mix of sun winds not as strong. They are picking up and as they pick up rip currents will form along atlantic beaches so keep that in mind if you do have any outdoor plans that involve the water. First alert forecast calling for seasonal temperatures, upper 70s, a mix of sun and clouds with that breezy east wind leaving us a high rip current risk along atlantic beaches. High pressure still in control, it will continue to weaken and push further into the atlantic waters as the low pressure stek over the plains continues to push towards the east dragging that cold front. Its that system that will bring you major changesstarting tomorrow and into the rest of the workweek. Today the main threat we want to worry about will be those breezy conditions of course causing p currents along atlantic beaches. More sunshine tooy so you definitely want to have that sunscreen handy and of courseo advisories over the atlantic waters but it could be a little choppy out there at times because of the breezy east wind in the afteron. Keep that in mind if you do have any boating plans later today. The next few days major changes today lighter east wind, tomorrow we will begin to feel a little more humidity in the air, especiale overnight into tuesday and then finally the showers return to t forecast come tuesday, wednesday, with a chance of some thunderstorms as well. Temperatus back into the mid to lower 80s. Definitely above average. Now, tt cold front is a slsl moving cold front. It will not cross sou florida until at least wednesday night overnight into thursdayr Early Morning hours. Once it does cross through it will cross thrgh quickly so were expecting possibly lingering showers wednesday night into early thursday morning. After that thats when we will begin to see that cool down, temperatures thursday still in the mid70s barrel reaching that 70 degree mark on friday and next weekend is going to be a nice one for us.
