On the World’s #1 Beach, Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales, some did scurry off to take shelter indoors while others were drawn to the waters to experience the relatively huge swells which turned a tranquil afternoon into a tidal adventure.

On Tuesday, the forecast called for ‘breezy with isolated showers and the chance of an isolated thunderstorm.”

It was more likely to rain during the day according to Weather.com and the high during the day was fairly low for the Turks and Caicos at 79°; dropping to 75°F.

The cold front, said The Bahamas Department of Meteorology, is exiting the area.
