Melbourne Florida for 08-06-2024

Hey there, folks! Time to dive into some wet and wild weather on the East Central Florida coast. Here's your coastal waters forecast rundown brought to you by the National Weather Service in Melbourne.

First up, we've got some action from Tropical Storm Debby off the Georgia coast. Keep an eye out for scattered to numerous showers, lightning storms, and possible strong winds as Debby does its thing. But hey, the silver lining? Things should calm down as we head towards mid to late week.

Heads up for you sea-loving adventurers – we've got some southwest winds at 20 to 30 miles per hour out there. Yikes, that's like a turbo fan on full blast. So, if you're sailing north of Cape Canaveral, watch for gusts up to 35 miles per hour. Hang on tight!

Moving closer to shore, if you're cruising from Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line, brace yourselves for a Small Craft Advisory until late tonight. Southwest winds at 20 to 25 miles per hour will be roughing up those waves, reaching heights of 5 to 7 feet. Showers and thunderstorms might just crash the party too.

As we roll into midweek, those winds will ease off a bit, giving you a breather before the next weather rollercoaster hits. Watch out for a chance of thunderstorms on Wednesday and showers likely on Friday, with some more stormy surprises during the weekend.

Remember, folks, the winds and waves can get even spicier around thunderstorms, so keep your weather eyes peeled!
