Your evening Florida weather update
A Rip Current Statement is in effect for beaches along Florida's Atlantic coast through Friday evening. These dangerous currents can pull even strong swimmers away from shore, so if you're heading to the beach today or tomorrow, swim near lifeguard stations and watch for warning flags. This Thursday morning starts warm at 78 degrees around 8 A.M., climbing steadily through the day to reach 85 by 5 P.M.
