West Palm Beach, FLA. (WPEC) — We are expecting a quiet and warm weekend across South Florida. A large area of high pressure — which is just a broad zone of calm, stable weather — is spreading over the state. That means we’ll keep the sunshine going and rain chances stay very low, basically near zero through Sunday.
Winds will be light as well, and the dry air overhead will help keep skies mostly clear. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s to near 90 each afternoon, the warmest stretch we’ll see before a big change arrives next week.
The Next Weather Maker
A cold front will move through on Monday. This front won’t bring significant rain, but you will definitely feel the cooler air behind it.
By Monday afternoon, temperatures start to drop into the 70s, especially north of the metro. Northerly winds will increase to around 10–15 mph, making it feel even cooler.
The chilliest time looks to be Tuesday morning:
Upper 30s to low 40s around Lake OkeechobeeMid to upper 40s across much of the interiorNear 50 right along the east coast
Tuesday afternoon stays cool too, only reaching the low to upper 60s depending on where you are.
After this brief taste of winter, temperatures will slowly warm back up mid to late week, reaching the upper 70s to low 80s again by Friday.
