Melbourne, FL – Melbourne residents should brace for significant weather changes this week, with a cold front bringing frost and dangerous rip currents along area beaches.
Temperatures will reach a pleasant 71 degrees today, but the warm spell won’t last. According to the National Weather Service, a cold front moving through the region will drop overnight lows into the low 40s by midweek. Patchy frost is likely, especially in inland areas north of U.S. Route 192.
Beachgoers are urged to take caution as a high-risk rip current warning remains in effect today along Florida’s east-central coast. Entering the water is strongly discouraged due to hazardous surf conditions.
Looking ahead, Monday will bring highs nearing 78 degrees with strong gusts up to 25 mph, but cooler air arrives by Tuesday, with daytime highs struggling to exceed 63 degrees. By Thursday, temperatures will dip further, with lows nearing freezing in some areas.
Residents should prepare for fluctuating conditions by securing outdoor items ahead of windy weather and protecting sensitive plants from frost later this week. Avoid beach activities and stay tuned to local forecasts for updates.
