Melbourne Florida for 08-05-2024

Alright folks, let's dive into the watery world of the Coastal Waters Forecast for East Central Florida! I'm here to give you the lowdown on what to expect out there.

So, here's the deal - Hurricane Debby is making moves up the eastern Gulf of Mexico, eyeing a landfall in the Big Bend of Florida soon. By Tuesday, Debby will be doing its thing off the northeast Florida/Georgia coast. Brace yourselves for numerous to widespread showers and scattered lightning storms along with gusts to Tropical Storm force - yup, it's gonna be a wild ride!

For you seafarers, expect South to Southwest winds ranging from 20 to 30 miles per hour with gusts up to 35 to 40 miles per hour creating seas as high as 7 feet. Not exactly smooth sailing, I know. Keep an eye out for those rogue thunderstorms and showers lurking around.

Hey, don't forget - there's a Tornado Watch in effect until 4 PM this afternoon, so stay alert and be prepared.
