The National Weather Service has indicated that there is a 40% to 60% chance of rain throughout the week, with the highest likelihood of severe impacts from storms affecting the eastern half of Palm Beach County into Fort Lauderdale.

Fabiana Petruzzi, a festival attendee, remarked, “Rain doesn’t stop the party because we have a party with a purpose, so that’s exciting.” Another attendee added, “Rain or shine, won’t keep us away. It doesn’t matter.”
As the cold front approaches, meteorologists are monitoring the situation closely. According to NWS meteorologists, “There remains some uncertainty regarding the frontal approach later tonight, with models ping-ponging on its health and the potential for convective development as it moves across the area.”
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the robustness of storms after traveling through the state, leaving residents to prepare for a potentially turbulent week ahead.
