West Palm Beach, FLA. (WPEC) — Breezy conditions will stick around across South Florida today, with the strongest winds focused along the coast.
Wind gusts of 25 to 30 mph are expected near the Atlantic, while inland areas will also see noticeable breezes. These winds are being driven by strong high pressure over the region, which is also keeping conditions dry.
