WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (WPEC) — South Florida remains locked in a stretch of hot and mostly dry weather, with temperatures running well above normal for early May.

Sunny skies and a lack of strong weather systems will keep conditions quiet through the end of the workweek. Sea breezes—winds that move inland from the coast during the afternoon—will shape local conditions but won’t be strong enough to produce much rainfall.
Temperatures will continue to climb. Highs today and Friday will reach the upper 80s to low 90s along the coasts, while inland areas heat up into the low to mid-90s. The heat will feel even more intense in some spots, especially where humidity builds, increasing the risk for heat-related impacts. Overnight temperatures will also stay warm, offering little relief, particularly near the coast where lows may stay near or above 80 degrees.

The heat intensifies into the weekend, with widespread 90s expected and some interior locations pushing the upper 90s. This could lead to a higher level of heat risk, especially in urban areas.

Rain chances remain limited through the weekend, though a brief, isolated shower can’t be ruled out inland. A more noticeable change arrives early next week as a front approaches, bringing increasing chances for showers and storms along with a slight chance for some relief from the heat.
