Melbourne, FL – Central Florida’s weather will remain unsettled this week, with scattered showers, rough surf, and a moderate risk of rip currents expected along the Atlantic coast through Christmas.
The National Weather Service reports that a weak disturbance over the Atlantic is driving hazardous beach conditions and cloudy skies. Volusia and Brevard beaches are under a Beach Hazard Statement, urging swimmers to stay in lifeguard-monitored areas and avoid swimming alone. Rough surf, with waves reaching up to 5 feet, poses additional risks for those entering the water.
Temperatures will remain in the mid to upper 70s today and Tuesday, cooling slightly as the week progresses. Rain chances increase through Wednesday, potentially affecting holiday travel and outdoor plans. Small craft operators are advised to exercise caution in offshore waters due to choppy seas.
Beachgoers and boaters are urged to monitor local updates and follow safety guidance throughout the week. For those planning to visit the beach, officials stress avoiding unguarded areas and being mindful of changing conditions.
Prepare for a mix of rain and mild temperatures heading into the holiday weekend, with drier weather expected by Friday. Stay alert for updates to ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday season.
