There is a low risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches. But, a small craft advisory goes into effect at 2 p.m. Wednesday as the breeze will build with winds out of the north 15 to 20 knots and a moderate chop on the bays.
On Thursday morning, South Florida will enjoy cooler temperatures in the low 70s and some inland areas will fall to the upper 60s. It will be less humid and drier with highs only in the upper 70s and low 80s.
