The South Florida region is set to experience a warm and dry week ahead, with isolated showers expected this morning but otherwise mostly sunny skies and rising temperatures. Highs will reach around 77 degrees on the Treasure Coast and 81 degrees in the Palm Beaches, with lows dipping into the high 50s along the Treasure Coast and low 60s in the Palm Beaches.

Why it matters

This forecast signals a break from the recent drought conditions affecting South Florida, as the lack of significant rainfall over the next several days will do little to alleviate the ongoing water shortage. However, the warm and sunny weather will be welcomed by residents and visitors alike.

The details

The isolated showers that pushed through the Jupiter area this morning are expected to continue moving south through the afternoon, with Palm Beach County also seeing some rain over the next couple of hours. After that, the forecast calls for mostly sunny skies, with a slight cooldown on Tuesday before temperatures start to rise again on Wednesday as the region returns to a southeasterly flow.
