Melbourne, FL – High temperatures will soar into the 80s and low 90s today across central Florida, as the region braces for a late-day shift in weather conditions. A sea breeze collision will spark scattered thunderstorms with lightning as early as late afternoon, moving toward coastal areas this evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Melbourne, rain chances range between 30% and 50%, with the highest probability for storm activity in inland areas. Some of these storms could venture toward the coast, dissipating overnight. With the warm weather, a moderate risk of rip currents will persist at area beaches throughout the day, urging caution for swimmers. The best advice: stay out of the water unless you’re swimming with a lifeguard nearby.
Cities such as Daytona Beach, Orlando, and Port St. Lucie are likely to experience highs ranging from the mid-80s to low 90s, with the interior experiencing slightly warmer conditions. While no widespread severe weather is anticipated, locals and visitors should stay alert for rapidly changing conditions.
Expect the storms to subside by late evening, but stay tuned for any updates, as additional warnings could be issued for coastal areas.
