Boca Raton is set for a sunny Saturday with a steady breeze, cooler temperatures at night, and hazardous marine conditions offshore that have prompted a Small Craft Advisory through Sunday evening. The National Weather Service forecasts sunny skies, a high near 73°F, and north winds up to 20 mph that will make it feel cooler, especially along the coast and in open areas.

Why it matters

The breezy conditions and elevated seas offshore pose risks for boaters and beachgoers, with an elevated rip current threat along Atlantic beaches. The dry air mass also raises fire concerns, so caution is advised for any outdoor activities that could spark.

Boca Raton will see sunny skies today with a high near 73°F. Winds will be from the west at around 14 mph, shifting to the north in the afternoon with gusts up to 20 mph. Tonight, skies will be mostly clear with a low around 56°F and north winds of 10-14 mph with gusts to 20 mph. The breezy conditions will make it feel cooler, especially in open areas and along the coast. A weak cold front is expected to pass through overnight, leading to the cooler temperatures.
