Melbourne Florida for 09-07-2024

Alright, folks, let's dive into our coastal waters forecast for East Central Florida brought to you by the National Weather Service in Melbourne, Florida.

Today, we've got a frontal boundary chilling up in North Florida, deciding to hang out through the weekend into early next week. Picture this - an area of high pressure slowly but surely creeping in and giving that front a gentle nudge towards Central Florida. With this setup, we're looking at a high chance of showers and storms sticking around as that boundary keeps the moisture on full blast.

For all you sailors out there, the Gulf Stream is pretty chill at the moment, so no hazards to worry about. Keep an eye on its approximate location from Ponce Inlet to Saint Lucie Inlet as of a few days back, just to stay in the loop.

Now, let's talk specifics for today off Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line within 20 nautical miles of the coast. We're starting with southwest winds at 5 to 10 knots, shifting to the northeast later on. Seas at 3 feet, with some showers and maybe a rumble of thunder in the mix. Tonight, expect east winds, smooth seas, and a chance of more showers and storms.

Looking ahead to Sunday, more east winds at 5 to 10 knots, seas at 3 feet, and a light chop on the intracoastal waters. Showers potentially in the morning with a higher chance in the afternoon. The trend continues into Sunday night with more showers and maybe some thunder. Monday rolls in with a mix of east winds, 3 to 5-foot seas, and a continuation of stormy possibilities.

And remember, winds and waves can kick it up a notch near any thunderstorms that decide to crash the party.
