South Florida cold front brings drier air, chilly morning temps
A wet start across parts of South Florida as scattered showers and storms move in due to a cold front on the way.
Monday morning got off to a mild and muggy start with temperatures in the upper 70s. The afternoon will be drier and breezy. As winds increase out of the northwest at 10 to 15 miles per hour, gusts could reach 30 mph. A red flag warning has been issued from noon through 7 p.m. due to the combination of the strong winds, lower humidity of 25% or less and warm weather that contributes to a high fire danger.
There is a high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches. A small craft advisory has been issued for the Atlantic waters and Keys waters due to increasing winds and hazardous marine conditions.
