Melbourne, FL – Cooler temperatures are on the horizon for Florida residents as a cold front moves into the area this week. While Monday remains seasonally warm with highs near 79°F, big changes are expected by midweek, bringing showers and significantly cooler weather.
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday will see a high of 84°F with partly sunny skies, followed by a 20% chance of showers late into the night. Winds from the southeast will pick up throughout the day, shifting southwest overnight. Residents along the I-95 corridor should prepare for increased cloud coverage and potential travel delays due to reduced visibility during evening hours.
By Wednesday, temperatures will hover near 81°F with a 60% chance of rain, primarily before 1 p.m. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph, creating choppy conditions on waterways. As the cold front pushes through, Melbourne can expect a sharp drop in temperatures by Thursday, with highs only reaching 71°F and lows plunging to the upper 40s.
Beachgoers should be cautious as a moderate rip current risk is present at all area beaches, particularly early in the week. Officials urge visitors to swim only near lifeguards and avoid entering the ocean alone.
Looking ahead, sunny skies return by Friday, but highs will remain cooler at 70°F. The weekend promises mild weather, with highs in the low 70s and light northwest winds providing relief from recent humidity.
Prepare for the week ahead by securing outdoor items and planning for cooler evenings. Stay updated with local weather alerts and be mindful of changing beach conditions.
