Warm and breezy South Florida through Easter weekend
A warm, breezy and mainly dry weekend is ahead.
Friday got off to a mild start with temperatures mostly in the low to mid 70s, a few inland areas saw the upper 60s.
In the afternoon, highs will climb to the low 80s under a mostly sunny sky. The breeze will build throughout the day out of the east at 10 to 15 miles per hour with gusts up to 25 miles per hour.
The strong onshore wind creates a high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches through Sunday evening. It is not safe to go swimming in the ocean. A small craft advisory is in effect for the Atlantic waters through the weekend due to hazardous marine conditions. A small craft caution is in effect for the Keys waters. The National Weather Service said that a small craft advisory will likely be issued later in the day.
