Treasure Coast Week Opens Dry, But Rain Chances Build by Midweek

TODAY: A partly sunny Monday with highs in the upper 80s and a shifting wind — northeast at 5 to 10 mph through most of the day, turning east at 10 to 15 mph by late afternoon. No rain is expected. Beach and boat conditions look favorable this morning, the National Weather Service said.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy skies with lows in the upper 70s. Southeast winds at 5 to 10 mph will keep it warm and muggy overnight.

THIS WEEK: Dry conditions continue through Tuesday morning, but rain chances climb as the week progresses — a signal that June's rainy season pattern is beginning to assert itself. Tuesday brings a 20 percent chance of showers late in the morning, with that number jumping to 40 percent Tuesday night. By Wednesday, residents should expect a chance of showers and thunderstorms with highs still in the upper 80s and east winds at 10 to 15 mph, according to National Weather Service data. The forecast does not extend beyond Wednesday at this time.

ON THE WATER: Monday is the cleaner window. Winds run northeast to east at 5 to 15 mph — manageable for most recreational vessels. By Tuesday, gusts up to 20 mph are possible, adding chop for smaller boats heading offshore from St. Lucie or Fort Pierce Inlet. Wednesday's thunderstorm chance makes afternoon departures a gamble. Anglers and recreational boaters should target early-morning windows Tuesday and Wednesday and be back at the dock well before midday, forecasters said.

ALERTS: No active National Weather Service watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Martin, St. Lucie, or Indian River counties at this time.
