Boca Raton and the rest of Palm Beach County face a classic late-October transition pattern this weekend, with breezy northeasterly winds, temperatures in the low-to-mid 80s and a steady chance of scattered showers and afternoon thunderstorms.
Friday starts humid, with morning clouds and passing showers moving in off the Atlantic. Wind speeds pick up Saturday as a tightening pressure gradient pushes strong onshore flow toward the coast.
Sunday looks like the worst day for coastal areas. Strong winds will create hazardous ocean conditions, even though clouds will sometimes break.
Boaters, beachgoers and surfers should use extreme caution, according to the source, which cites National Weather Service marine forecast updates showing rapidly deteriorating conditions along the Palm Beach County coastline.
