South Florida will be dry, breezy as rainy season officially ends

Wednesday will be mainly dry and breezy as the rainy season officially comes to an end.

The day starts comfortably with mostly low to mid-70s. Only a few isolated showers are possible. Highs climb to the mid to upper 80s Wednesday afternoon. The breeze will build, and gusts could reach 15 to 20 mph.

The strong winds are leading to hazardous beach and boating conditions. There is a high risk of dangerous rip currents along the Atlantic beaches, and it is not safe to go swimming.

The chance of rain will increase on Thursday with the potential for spotty showers as the dry season kicks off in So
