GENERAL SITUATION: A cold front moving through the region will bring cool temperatures and brisk winds across the Turks and Caicos Islands throughout the day. Pleasant and mostly dry weather is expected to continue through tonight, as a dry air mass keeps rain chances very low.
SPECIAL WARNINGS:
Rip Currents and Rough Surf: There remains a moderate to high risk of dangerous rip currents and rough surf along northern, western, and Atlantic shorelines of the island chain. Beachgoers and swimmers should avoid entering the water at this time.
Coastal Threats: There remains a minor to moderate threat of beach erosion and coastal flooding for Atlantic facing shorelines, especially in areas that have already been severely impacted this past week.

EXTENDED FORECAST: A reinforcing cold front is expected to move off the northeast Florida coast early Saturday and reach the Turks and Caicos Islands by early Sunday, where it will stall and gradually weaken early next week. Breezy conditions and rough seas will persist into early next week.
