WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — High pressure offshore will create a Southeast wind as we head into the next two days. This will allow the afternoon sea breeze to march inland, and produce mostly inland showers and thunderstorms. But with high pressure dominating, the showers and storms will be more limited in nature. Roughly a 30% to 40% chance of seeing a shower or storm today and tomorrow. But rain chances do start to increase by Friday and into the weekend.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A quiet weather pattern as we had into the next several days. A combination of high pressure and dryer air will bring us generally dry conditions for this upcoming week. For the most part, rain chances are very low...about a 20 to 30% chance of seeing a shower or a storm. Otherwise it's going to be hot. Temperatures are heading back into the low 90s. With the humidity, it will feel much warmer than that. But for now, no heated advisories have been issued for our local area.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. — Crews across South Florida are cleaning up after Hurricane Helene, and on the Treasure Coast, public works crews spent Friday picking up branches, debris, and assessing damage. While the hurricane didn't make landfall in our area, powerful cells brought sheets of rain, mighty wind and wrathful waves, the latter of which had quite the impact. "I mean the waves were just really, really big," said Erica Lemaster of Fort Pierce.
