In the afternoon, it will be mainly dry but hotter as highs will climb to the low 90s. There is a high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches and it is not safe to swim in the ocean. Small craft should exercise caution over the Atlantic and Keys waters due to easterly winds of 10 to 15 knots with gusts up to 20 knots and 3 to 5-foot seas. There is a moderate chop on the bays.
