A cold front is sliding through South Florida this morning between about 8 a.m. and 11 a.m., bringing a brief window for quick-moving showers. Rain chances stay low around 20%, and unfortunately, this system won’t deliver enough rainfall to make a dent in our ongoing drought.

Behind the front, skies turn sunny and the afternoon stays warm with highs near 82°. Breezy conditions linger through the day, with winds occasionally kicking up to around 25 mph, especially near the coast. Hazardous marine conditions continue, so boaters should use extra caution on the water.

Overall, warm and dry weather remains the main theme across South Florida, with only a short-lived shower chance early today before we settle back into a breezy, bright and warm afternoon.
