Melbourne Florida for 08-23-2024

Hey there folks! Time for your coastal waters forecast for East Central Florida, brought to you by the National Weather Service in Melbourne. So, what's shaking out there in the big blue today?

Looks like we've got a weak stationary boundary hanging around near our waters, bringing in those higher chances of showers and storms through the weekend. But fear not, as the western Atlantic ridge is ready to strut its stuff, drying things out by mid-next week.

For our friends hitting the waters from Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line, here's the scoop for today:
- South winds around 5 knots shifting to the east later, picking up to about 10 knots. Seas around 3 feet with a mix of waves from the northeast and southeast.
- Showers likely this afternoon, so keep those brollies handy!

Tonight, expect those east winds to stick around, leading to a chance of showers and storms. But hey, smooth sailing on the intracoastal waters.

As we head into the weekend, plan for more of the same with east winds, chances of thunderstorms, and those seas holding steady.

Remember, winds and waves can get a bit rowdy near those thunderstorms, so keep an eye out!
