Rainy, cold weather sticking around through Sunday

"In fact, the soggy weather will stick around through the mid-morning on Monday," News 6 meteorologist Samara Cokinos said. "So, pack your rain gear and be prepared to hold on to it."

Temperatures are predicted to stay in the low to mid-50s, except in some cities Brevard County, which will be in the 60s. Gusty winds, blowing between 10 and 15 mph, will make it feel even more chilly outside. Some gusts could reach up to 25 mph.

Even though the rain will persist, the weather will not be severe. According to Cokinos, that shouldn't make drivers any less cautious.

"By the time it clears out Monday, we could have rainfall accumulations between one and three inches," Cokinos said. "There will be plenty of water sitting on the roads. Please be safe out there."

Sunday night will bring the potential for up to 40 mph winds. Lows will seem colder due to the wind chill factor. Overnight lows will range from 39 degrees in Ocala to 47 degrees in Orlando to 53 degrees in Melbourne.
