According to the National Weather Service Melbourne, Florida, residents of Orlando are being warned to prepare for a variety of weather conditions today, with a high danger of rip currents and severe surf. Anyone who intends to spend time near the water should pay special attention to the situation above the coast since it is dangerous enough.
Ahead of a cold front, the area is also expecting sporadic to heavy showers, with the possibility of moderate to heavy rainfall and windy conditions during the afternoon. According to the National Weather Service, there may be rain and wind gusts of 30 to 40 miles per hour. As the front moves through later this evening, south-southwest winds are also predicted to shift to the north-northwest.
There is a bright side to today’s gloomy forecast: colder, drier air is on the horizon. Later in the week, wind chill readings are predicted to plummet into the mid-30s to mid-40s. This change occurs as a strong cold front brings a more brisk, less humid air mass into the region. The National Weather Service prediction states that dangerous conditions will continue to exist over the local Atlantic waters, and that the drop will be felt considerably late this week into the weekend.
The dry spell poses a safety risk due to fire weather conditions, in addition to being a comfort issue. The need for increased vigilance against the risk of wildfires during this time is highlighted by the National Weather Service, which reports that minimum relative humidity values are predicted to fall into the upper 30s to low 40s. It is predicted that the north-northwest winds will continue to be strong, which might lead to a fire spreading quickly.
Late this evening and into the night, area mariners may face poor to dangerous boating conditions due to the front’s impact on the weather and the ensuing rise in sea levels and gusts. According to the National Weather Service, seas will grow to 3-5 feet today before reaching 4-6 feet nearshore and 6-8 feet offshore into Thursday morning. Southwest winds of 15-20 knots will veer north-northwest and strengthen to 15-25 knots overnight.
Regarding aviation, VFR conditions are anticipated for flights departing from Orlando. However, as the front sweeps across the terminals this afternoon, there may be MVFR or brief IFR ceilings from 15z to 00z. After 00z on Thursday, there will likely be a reinforcing cold front. Pilots should prepare for winds of 10–13 kt in the south-southwest with gusts of 20 kt, which will change to the west-southwest by 21 z and then to the northwest by 03 z on Thursday.
