An area of high pressure centered off the coast of the Carolinas will continue to provide southeasterly winds today over the Florida Peninsula. Winds will not be as breezy as they were over the past few days, but 10-15 mph winds are expected, with higher gusts possible along the Florida East Coast. Humidity level will continue to increase; however, conditions will remain dry as no rainfall is expected over peninsular Florida until Friday or Saturday, and rain chances on those days are small. The breezy conditions along the Atlantic side of the peninsula will create a moderate to high threat of rip currents along the beaches of Northeast, East Central, and Southeast Florida.

A small craft advisory is in effect for the Eastern Florida Coast, from Flagler Beach to the Jupiter inlet until 10PM EDT.

For tonight low temperatures will drop into the upper 60s across inland regions of the Peninsula and in the lower 70s around the both coastal areas. Tomorrow low 80s across Northern Florida, in the upper 80s for Central Florida and in the low 90s in South Florida.

Smoke in the vicinity of any ongoing wildfires may lead to reduced visibilities in some areas during the overnight hours.
