West Palm Beach, FLA. (WPEC) — Patchy dense fog is possible early this morning, mainly across interior South Florida. Light winds and lingering moisture are allowing fog to form, particularly in rural and low-lying areas.
Conditions should gradually improve after sunrise as winds increase and the lower atmosphere mixes out.
Scattered showers and isolated storms today and Monday
A weakening front remains draped across South Florida, providing just enough lift to trigger scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms through today and Monday.

High temperatures both days will reach the low to mid 80s, with overnight lows settling into the 60s.
Increasing northeast winds early next week
By late Monday into Tuesday, high pressure building across the southeastern United States will tighten the pressure gradient over South Florida. This will lead to breezier northeast winds, especially along the east coast.
