South Florida warms up this week as midweek rain moves in

Highs near 80 are expected after a chilly start, but a low pressure system tracking from the Gulf will bring showers, storms and rough surf later in the week.

South Florida is in for a warmup this week, with highs near 80 degrees after a very cool start to Saturday morning. Winds shift to the northeast later Saturday, bringing milder air off the ocean.

Rain chances climb toward midweek as a low pressure system dips south from Colorado into the Gulf and tracks toward South Florida. High pressure over the Carolinas will work with it to produce gusty easterly winds, showers and storms.

Forecasters expect poor beach and boating conditions for much of the week. Anyone planning time on the water or at the beach should check conditions before heading out.

No strong cold fronts are in sight for the next five to seven days. Daytime highs are expected to average in the lower 80s through the upcoming week, so the coolest air from the weekend cold front is likely to be gone.
