Day One: This Afternoon and Tonight

Rip Currents: A moderate risk of rip currents is in effect for Atlantic Coast beaches, including Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach. Rip currents are powerful, narrow channels of fast-moving water that can pull swimmers away from the shore.
Safety Tips for Beachgoers:
- Swim only at beaches with lifeguards on duty.
- Pay attention to posted warning flags and signs.
- If caught in a rip current, remain calm and do not fight the current. Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current, then swim back to the beach.
- Never swim alone, and keep a close eye on children and inexperienced swimmers.
Fog: Patchy fog is possible over portions of inland and Southwest Florida tonight. While this is less likely to directly impact coastal areas, drivers traveling inland or to the west should exercise caution.

- Avoid sudden stops and be cautious at intersections.

Hazardous Marine Conditions: Hazardous marine conditions may return Sunday into early next week as a frontal boundary crosses the area. Boaters should stay updated on the latest marine forecasts and exercise caution.
