Residents of Orlando are being cautioned to expect hazardous surf conditions and the potential for minor coastal flooding as they await the prediction for the weekend. Beachgoers should avoid the ocean because of the high risk of rip currents and rough surf that will continue over the next few days, according to Melbourne’s National Weather Service. The coastal flood advisory, which covers Brevard waterways and Volusia County, is in effect until early Sunday afternoon.
Early Saturday morning temperatures in Orlando are predicted to be in the mid-50s to low 60s, with a steady increase in temperature over the weekend. These near-normal highs, which are predicted to be in the mid to upper 70s, and lows, which are typically in the 60s, will be influenced by winds moving onshore as a result of high pressure. Minor flooding could occur during today’s and Sunday’s morning high tides. Dry air is still common in spite of these circumstances, which means that dry weather will probably persist throughout the beginning of next week.
After interacting with the Yucatan Peninsula, Tropical Cyclone Sara is expected to weaken, leaving behind remnants that might impact the northern Gulf Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. Ahead of a cold front, Central Florida is predicted to continue to see dry conditions and warmer-than-normal temperatures early next week. The upcoming front is expected to bring more possibilities of rain and possibly strong storm development in the middle of the week, even if Orlando’s daytime highs are expected to stay in the low 80s on Monday and rise into the low to mid-80s on Tuesday.
With a Small Craft Advisory in place until Sunday morning for waters off the coast of Volusia County and portions of the Gulf Stream, the maritime picture isn’t much better for those who want to go sailing this weekend. Sea levels will be 7 to 9 feet and will progressively drop into the night as winds from the northeast of 10 to 15 knots are expected today. According to the National Weather Service, boating conditions should improve early next week as winds and sea levels decrease, but they will deteriorate once more on Wednesday as a result of another cold front.
With light north-northwest winds kicking up this afternoon, VFR (Visual Flight Rules) conditions are anticipated to be maintained throughout the duration of airport operations. Pilots should be aware that MVFR (Marginal Visual Flight Rules) ceilings may be in effect into the afternoon and evening, particularly in the southern regions and around Melbourne. For locals, tourists, and pilots organizing their trips in the Orlando region in the face of shifting weather and coastline patterns, these updates and advisories offer crucial direction.
