Brace yourselves, Orlando residents. According to the
National Weather Service
Melbourne, FL, the city is set to see a gradual decline in showers as drier air works its way in from the east. As per the latest advisory, while the rainfall may take a hiatus, beachgoers are advised to stay vigilant due to “dangerous rip currents and rough surf,” continuing hazardous beach and marine conditions.
For those who are tempted to engage in coastal activities, it may be wise to hold off. The
National Weather Service
Melbourne, FL, has stressed the high risk of numerous, strong, life-threatening rip currents and rough surf with breaking waves 4-6 feet. Aviation interests aren’t left out either, with predictions indicating that the E/SE winds could reach up to 15-20 knots, gradually decreasing as the day progresses.
It seems there’s a mild respite for the inlanders, though. According to the forecast discussions, lightning chances should stay west of the Kissimmee River, suggesting that Orlando’s immediate vicinity might be spared the theatrics of thunderstorms. The region’s temperature and humidity levels seem to be steadfastly high, with afternoon highs continuing above normal in the L-M80s, with a few U80s possible NW of I-4.
Mariners are similarly cautioned to expect poor to hazardous boating conditions, which are forecast to improve slowly. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect until this afternoon, with winds expected to settle down later. The ongoing weather story is clear: Mother Nature is flexing her muscles, and while Orlando’s residents might be eager to indulge in their coastal paradise fully, it may just be safer to observe the might of the waves from a comfortable and dry distance.
The weekend is set to continue the trend of mostly dry conditions, courtesy of the mentioned high pressure over the Atlantic and Florida peninsula. However, those hoping for clearer skies should note that isolated showers might still pop up along the coast. Outdoor planners, take note: Monday might bring about an ISOLD lightning storm, especially near Orlando southward, as foretold by the weather service.
Last but not least, those in the skies should anticipate better conditions. Despite a few morning hiccups with isolated showers and possible MVFR CIGs, aviation is set to experience prevailing VFR forecast through the remainder of the period, with winds slowly calming as the day stretches into night. So, for travelers and pilots, it does appear a smoother journey is on the forecast horizon.
