South Florida Enters Dry Season as Breezy Pattern, Weak Fronts Bring Spotty Showers

Onshore winds are creating hazardous surf with a high risk of rip currents.

Overview

  • The rainy season officially ended on October 15, marking a shift to generally drier weather after September rains erased midsummer drought and left totals near normal.
  • Two weak fronts will pass through: the first tonight into Thursday with brief north-to-south ‘slide-in’ showers, and the second Friday ushering in less humid air and a mainly dry weekend.
  • Breezy onshore flow with gusts near 15–20 mph is creating hazardous beach and boating conditions, including a high rip-current risk along Atlantic beaches.
  • Small craft should exercise caution on Keys waters due to choppy conditions and gusty winds.
  • The National Hurricane Center issued its final advisory on former Tropical Storm Lorenzo and reports no immediate tropical threats.
