Coastal flooding

Coastal flooding will also be a concern through at least Sunday. Low-lying areas will be susceptible to flooding from higher-than-normal tides from a strong northeast wind. A coastal flood warning is in effect for Flagler, Volusia and Brevard counties.

Winter-like temperatures

Under an overcast sky, a reinforcing shot of cold air will plunge down the peninsula as the storm moves up the East Coast. Temperatures will fall into the 50s by Saturday afternoon. It will feel even cooler when the breeze is factored in.

Big improvements in the weather department arrive Sunday with pleasant weather remaining through much of the week ahead.
