| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 707am EDT Wednesday Mar 25 2026 Issued at 312am EDT Wednesday Mar 25 2026 Today - Tonight Isolated to scattered showers have continued early this morning across portions of east central Florida. In particular, a strong storm near Melbourne became nearly stationary shortly after midnight, producing locally heavy rain of 2.5 to 4.5 inches. High rain rates led to quick accumulation over about 90 minutes, resulting in a report of standing water on area roads. This occurred very near or just north of a stalled stationary boundary, where moisture convergence and opposing low-level flow were present. Additional showers and storms have developed and are slowly pushing toward the coast early this morning. Activity along the stationary front, more specifically, will be monitored for the potential of producing locally heavy rainfall today. CAM guidance continues to suggest the potential for coastal convection, followed by isolated showers and storms farther inland along the sea breeze this afternoon/evening. Lightning strikes, locally heavy rain of to 2 to 4 inches (cannot rule out up to 5 inches), gusty winds, and small hail are possible with the most organized activity. Daytime temperatures will remain a bit cooler due to some more clouds and slightly modified air north of the frontal boundary. Drier conditions are forecast to resume after sunset for most locations, though some additional coastal showers are possible late tonight. At area beaches, a high risk of rip currents exists today. Entering the water is strongly discouraged! Thursday-Friday...The eastern periphery of an expanding H5 ridge reaches Florida later in the week as a surface boundary dissipates south of the area. Surface high pressure gradually builds over the region, largely maintaining weak onshore flow. Just enough low-level moisture will remain to spark an isolated shower or two within the onshore flow Thursday. However, most locations look to stay dry as temperatures warm back up into the low/mid 80s. Friday's forecast brings well above normal temperatures to all of east central Florida under mostly sunny skies. Dry conditions will likely continue into Friday night as temperatures settle into the 60s. Saturday-Tuesday...Another cold front moves into north Florida Saturday morning as conditions remain dry and mild locally. As the front presses south through the day, northeast winds notably increase to 15-20 mph with gusts 25-35 mph (especially at the coast and north of I-4). Moisture also increases with PW surging to 1.5- 1.6" along the front. This, plus increased convergence, suggests rain chances of 30 to 50 percent. The highest rain totals (up to 1") look to focus from Cape Canaveral southward along the coast, extending as far west as Lake Okeechobee. Though greater moisture begins to push south of the area later on Sunday, isolated coastal showers may continue into early next week. Shallow, onshore-moving showers would be embedded in the stout onshore flow, which remains gusty Sunday and breezy Monday-Tuesday. H5 ridging becomes well established through the middle of next week over the southern U.S., so no major pattern changes are anticipated from Sunday onward. Temperatures drop to more typical levels for late March, only reaching the 70s Sunday and Monday. A warm up commences Tuesday with highs back in the upper 70s to low 80s. Marine Issued at 312am EDT Wednesday Mar 25 2026 Hazardous boating conditions are ongoing across the local Atlantic, with northeast winds 15-20 knots, gusting around 25 knots at times north of Sebastian Inlet. Seas are responding, already at 10 feet near Buoy 41009 early this morning. Small Craft Advisories are in place through 8pm for all marine legs and will eventually be reduced to the Gulf Stream this evening as seas/winds subside. Scattered showers and storms are forecast through the day, producing locally heavy rain, lightning strikes, and gusty winds at times. Isolated showers remain possible Thursday as boating conditions improve and stay generally favorable through Friday. Drier weather is forecast on Friday as high pressure briefly builds over the waters. Then, another cold front presses south on Saturday, quickly strengthening winds and building seas from north to south. Brief gale conditions are possible, particularly north of Cape Canaveral Saturday afternoon and evening. Hazardous to dangerous boating conditions develop as a result, beginning mid day Saturday and lasting through at least Sunday. In addition, scattered showers and an isolated storm or two will be possible as the front moves south across the waters Saturday and Sunday. NOAA Melbourne FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...None. AM...Small Craft Advisory until 8pm EDT this evening for AMZ550-552. Small Craft Advisory until 2am EDT Thursday for AMZ555-570-572- 575. |
