Rip currents, thunderstorms threaten Florida beach plans this Memorial Day Weekend

Beachgoers heading to Florida’s east coast or Panhandle this Memorial Day Weekend face dangerous rip currents and high surf, with officials advising people to stay out of the ocean. Thunderstorms are expected Saturday and Sunday, with additional rain showers on Monday, all driven by energy impulses moving through a high-pressure system that is keeping major fronts north of the state. The weekend will also bring intense heat, humidity, and elevated UV levels.
