Here is your forecast for Tuesday, November 5th, 2024:

The muggy air you feel outside is all courtesy of Rafael to our south, taking aim at the Cayman Islands tonight. With the extra muggy air, morning temperatures will start off in the mid to upper 70s.

Wednesday will feature mostly cloudy skies, muggy air and isolated showers and storms. It will be breezy with gusts to 28 mph in the afternoon.

Overnight into Thursday is when we'll feel some impacts from Rafael, which will remain at least 100 miles off our shoreline. Most of impacts will be coastal, with rough surf, erosion, and high risk of rip currents. Coastal flooding of 1-2 feet will be possible during high tides.

Outer rain bands will begin Wednesday night into Thursday. 1-2" will be possible with higher amounts at the coast. Thursday will be windy with gusts to 30 mph inland, closer to 40 mph at the coast.
