South Florida weather changes quickly, especially along the coast, where wind, ocean conditions, and tropical systems often matter more than raw rainfall totals.
Rip current risk is based on wind direction, wind speed, swell height, and wave period. Even on days with little rain, persistent onshore winds and rough surf can create dangerous swimming conditions along Atlantic beaches in Boca Raton and Palm Beach County.
In coastal South Florida, wind drives many of the biggest impacts. Sustained winds can:
Elevate rip current risk
Create hazardous boating conditions
Cause minor power disruptions
Push storms inland faster than forecast
Rain totals alone rarely tell the full story.
A tropical outlook highlights areas of disturbed weather being monitored for possible development. Systems labeled as “invests” are under closer observation but are not named storms.
Most invests never develop. However, they can still bring heavy rain, gusty winds, and rough seas to Boca Raton even without becoming hurricanes.
Humidity significantly affects how hot it feels. The heat index reflects the combined effect of temperature and moisture in the air. Dangerous conditions can develop even when actual temperatures remain below 95 degrees.
In South Florida summers, “feels like” temperatures often exceed 100 degrees.
South Florida’s position between the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean allows weather systems to evolve quickly. Small shifts in wind or moisture can change storm timing, rain coverage, or coastal hazards within hours.
Rain timing frequently shifts as the atmosphere responds to daytime heating and sea breeze boundaries. That is why storm windows may move earlier or later as the day unfolds.
Forecast updates reflect those adjustments in real time.
This page is updated daily as conditions change and new advisories are issued.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30. During this period, Boca Post closely monitors updates from the National Hurricane Center and local National Weather Service offices.
Coverage includes:
Tropical outlooks
Disturbance tracking
Storm surge potential
Local preparedness updates
Palm Beach County emergency advisories
Even weak tropical systems can produce flooding rain, gusty winds, and hazardous marine conditions.
Most summer storms develop during the afternoon and early evening as daytime heating peaks. Morning storms are less common but can occur when tropical moisture is present.
High risk means life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone. Even experienced swimmers can struggle in these conditions.
Air temperatures typically reach the low to mid-90s, but heat index values often exceed 100 degrees due to humidity.
