MIAMI - A warming trend continues across South Florida on Tuesday ahead of the next cold front that will arrive mid-week.
Tuesday morning it was mild with temperatures in the low 70s along the coast. It was slightly cooler inland with low to mid-60s along the western suburbs.
A warm, humid afternoon is ahead with highs climbing to 80 degrees. Although the rain chance is low, a stray shower is possible.
There is a high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches and it is not safe to go swimming in the ocean. There are no alerts or advisories for boaters along the Atlantic or Keys waters.
It will be even warmer on Wednesday as highs will rise to the mid-80s with the potential for scattered showers and isolated storms due to some moisture associated with our next cold front.
