South Florida is set for partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the lower 80s on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, as northeast winds hold steady across the region.
Forecasters also flag a slight chance of brief showers during the day, though the main concern remains along the coast.
High Surf Advisory Runs Through Friday
A High Surf Advisory stays in effect through Friday, with ocean waves expected to reach 7 to 12 feet, according to WPBF.
The advisory covers the stretch in which elevated surf is projected to persist, making coastal conditions the leading weather story of the week.
Northeast winds will keep shaping conditions across the area even as temperatures climb into the lower 80s.
Only a limited chance of fast-moving showers is included in Wednesday's outlook.
Weekend Turns Blustery With Afternoon Rain Chances
Conditions are expected to grow more unsettled over the weekend, when blustery winds and the possibility of locally heavy rainfall could affect South Florida each afternoon.
WPBF's forecast indicates rain chances will continue through the weekend rather than being confined to Wednesday.
Pockets of heavy rain and persistent gusty conditions set the weekend apart from the partly cloudy outlook earlier in the week.
The High Surf Advisory is scheduled to remain in effect through Friday, while the weekend forecast calls for continued wind and afternoon rain chances.
