Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 851am EDT Wednesday Mar 26 2025 ...New .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 355am EDT Wednesday Mar 26 2025 - A reinforcing front moves through the area today, with dry conditions anticipated through Friday. - Fire weather conditions will remain sensitive across east central Florida as a result of low minimum RH values, breezy winds, and the continued drying of fuels. - An unsettled weather pattern returns to the area this weekend, with increasing rain and storm chances forecast. Sunday has the best chances for shower and storm activity. Issued at 850am EDT Wednesday Mar 26 2025 Drier air will continue to filter south through the day, already evidenced by the 1" PW from this morning's 10z XMR sounding. Temperatures are slowly climbing into the 60s but are still on track to reach the low to mid 80s near and west of the I-95 corridor. An early-developing Atlantic coast breeze will quickly move inland this afternoon, and with a steady breeze behind it, coastal locations should remain in the upper 70s for high temps. No major changes were needed in this update. The previous forecast is in good shape. .PREVIOUS Issued at 355am EDT Wednesday Mar 26 2025 Today - Tonight A reinforcing front is expected to move across the Florida peninsula today, with drier air filtering in behind it across the area. Modeled PWATs (Precipitable Waters) indicate values will fall into the 0.75-0.9" range locally, with minimum RH values generally in the 30 to 45 percent range across the interior. Northwest winds around 5 mph this morning veer to out of the northeast at 5 to 10 mph this afternoon behind the front, with the development of the east coast sea breeze leading to a more onshore shift along the immediate coast. Limited cloud coverage will lead to sufficient daytime heating, allowing temperatures to reach the low to mid 80s across east central Florida. Lows overnight fall into the mid 50s to low 60s. Thursday-Friday...High pressure remains situated across the southeastern U.S., keeping conditions dry locally. Winds veer onshore on Thursday, becoming breezy as the pressure gradient tightens. Mostly clear skies forecast thanks to the drier air mass in place. A touch cooler, with temperatures becoming a bit closer to normal. Highs in the upper 70s to low 80s with overnight lows in the mid 50s to low 60s. By Friday, the high shifts off of the east coast, with winds veering to out of the southeast locally around 15 to 20 mph. Moisture advects towards the area, with increasing cloud coverage anticipated as a result. Highs remain in the upper 70s to low 80s, with lows in the low to mid 60s. Saturday-Tuesday...By this weekend, an unsettled weather pattern is forecast to return to east central Florida. The surface high shifts more eastward out over the western Atlantic, with the ridge axis situated north of the Florida-Georgia border. An area of low pressure develops across the central Plains and shifts northeastward towards the Great Lakes, dragging along a cold front across the southeastern U.S. and towards the Florida peninsula. The front moves across the peninsula Sunday and decays into Monday, with a reinforcing front moving through the area on Tuesday. Rain and storm chances increase across east central Florida as a result of this unsettled weather pattern, with the greatest rain and storm chances currently focused on Sunday. Model guidance has come into better agreement on coverage and timing, hence the increase in PoPs. Things become a bit less clear into the start of next week, though lingering moisture could allow for continued isolated shower and even storm activity Monday into Tuesday. Southeasterly winds on Saturday and Sunday veer southwesterly on Monday and west-northwest on Tuesday, though the development of the east coast sea breeze each afternoon will cause winds to back to out of the east-southeast along the coast. Skies remain mostly cloudy through Sunday, with coverage generally improving Monday and Tuesday. Highs generally remain near to slightly above normal, with temperatures in the upper 70s to mid 80s. The warmest days in the extended period look to be Monday and Tuesday. Lows fall into the low to mid 60s each night. Marine Issued at 355am EDT Wednesday Mar 26 2025 A reinforcing front is forecast to drift southward across the waters today, with drier air filtering in behind it and rain chances falling to less than 10 percent. Northwest winds veer to out of the northeast, remaining around 10 knots. Seas of 2 to 3 feet are expected across the local waters, with generally favorable boating conditions anticipated for today. As an area of high pressure develops across the southeastern U.S. and drifts offshore across the western Atlantic, the pressure gradient is forecast to tighten locally, with winds becoming onshore at 15 to 20 knots on Thursday, veering to out of the southeast Friday. Seas respond by gradually building, with heights of 3 to 5 feet on Thursday and 4 to 6 feet on Friday. Cautionary statements may be needed through the end of the week due to the deteriorating boating conditions. Winds weaken to 10 to 15 knots on Saturday, veering to out of the south on Sunday. Seas respond by slowly subsiding to 3 to 5 feet. An unsettled weather pattern is forecast to return to the local Atlantic waters this weekend, with increasing rain and storm chances forecast. Highest rain chances are currently focused on Sunday. Fire Weather Issued at 355am EDT Wednesday Mar 26 2025 Sensitive fire weather conditions are forecast to prevail across east central Florida today through Friday, with minimum RH values across the interior falling to 30 to 45 percent and winds flirting with critical values at 10 to 15 mph. Drier conditions will allow for continued drying of fuels, especially in places that did not receive appreciable rainfall on Tuesday. Fire weather conditions improve slightly into the weekend as a result of increasing moisture and a return of rain chances on Sunday, though dry fuels and the potential for lightning could lead to some continued concerns.
