Melbourne, FL — Autumn begins today, bringing a risk of minor coastal flooding and scattered showers along Florida’s eastern coast, particularly near A1A and US-1. Temperatures are expected to remain warm, reaching the high 80s today. Residents should be prepared for localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas near the coast.
According to the US National Weather Service in Melbourne, there is a high (70%) chance of tropical development in the Gulf of Mexico within the next seven days. While the local impacts remain uncertain, Melbourne residents are urged to stay updated on weather forecasts and review their hurricane preparedness plans. A moderate rip current risk is in place today, making swimming potentially hazardous along the beaches.
Rain will persist throughout the day, with conditions improving Monday when the chance of showers decreases. Temperatures will drop slightly next week, with highs in the low 70s and upper 60s by Wednesday. The tropical disturbance could further impact the region, and residents should continue to monitor updates for possible evacuation or emergency action.
