Melbourne Florida for 09-05-2024

Good day, folks! Ready to set sail on the weather journey for East Central Florida? Well, buckle up because we've got a coastal waters forecast hot off the press from the National Weather Service in Melbourne, Florida. So, let's dive right in!

Synopsis first - High pressure from the north-central U.S. stretching over to the Atlantic seaboard is in the spotlight. This high pressure will be scooting offshore by the weekend. Now, there's a front loitering about in northern Florida that'll gradually mosey down southwards towards central Florida by early next week. Keep an eye out for possible surface disturbances sauntering along that boundary, especially towards the week's end. Another high-pressure gang from the eastern U.S. is gearing up to shove that front right into central Florida come the weekend.

Now, let's talk sailboats and surfboards. Offshore of Volusia and Brevard Counties, expect 4 to 6 feet of swirling seas - so, if you're out there, keep your sea legs sturdy!

For Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line 0-20 nm, expect a mixed bag today: East winds between 5 to 10 knots, accompanied by 4-feet seas. There's a chance of thunderstorms, so keep those umbrellas handy. Showers are likely in the afternoon.

As the night creeps in, winds will shift southeast, decreasing to around 5 knots. Seas will hold steady at 4 feet, with thunder rumbling in the distance. Showers are likely, but tapering into a chance after midnight.

Looking ahead to Friday, Southeasterly winds of 5 to 10 knots accompany 3 to 4 feet of seas. Don't be surprised if you find yourself dancing in a light chop on the intracoastal waters. The day kicks off with a chance of showers in the morning, building up to showers likely in the afternoon.
