BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A heat advisory is expected for Tuesday in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth Beach, Wellington, and most of Palm Beach County. The heat index, according to the National Weather Service, is expected to hit — or surpass — 107 degrees.
The continued heat wave comes as forecasters say there’s just a 30-percent chance of thunderstorms after 3 p.m. The mild thunderstorm threat will continue into Tuesday evening.
Most of Palm Beach County remains under a severe or extreme drought, with the region dramatically below traditional rainfall levels for this time of year. Making matters potentially worse, there are no tropical systems in the Atlantic right now that could could days of downpours to the region. The National Weather Service says nearly half of Palm Beach County is considered to be suffering from a “drought.”
Looking ahead, the temperatures may be slightly cooler after Tuesday, but “slightly” means only by a few degrees. The heat is expected continue through Labor Day weekend. The early Labor Day forecast is calling for a high near 91 with “showers and thunderstorms likely.”
