Melbourne, FL – East Central Florida residents should brace for chilly weather tonight, as temperatures drop into the mid-40s. Cooler-than-average conditions will persist throughout the weekend, with daytime highs reaching only the mid-to-upper 60s.

According to the National Weather Service in Melbourne, rip currents will pose significant risks at area beaches. Offshore winds and strong surf are expected, and beachgoers are urged to swim only in guarded areas. With sunny skies and cooler temperatures, the weekend offers ideal conditions for outdoor activities—but precautions are necessary for those near the coast.

Saturday will mirror today’s forecast, with lows around 48 degrees and highs remaining 8-10 degrees below seasonal norms. By Sunday, a warming trend begins, with temperatures climbing into the 70s. This trend will continue into Thanksgiving week, bringing highs near 78 by midweek.

Residents and travelers should plan accordingly, dressing warmly for chilly mornings and taking extra care if venturing to beaches. Drivers should also be mindful of potential holiday traffic, especially on major routes such as I-95.

With sunny skies dominating the forecast, it’s a great opportunity to enjoy outdoor festivities—just make sure to stay safe and monitor beach conditions.
