Temperatures are expected to warm into the upper 80s inland and the upper 70s along the coast.
Through the afternoon, the breeze will pick up off the ocean, with gusts reaching 15–20 mph.
If you are planning on enjoying the beaches, beware of rip currents as the risk remains high for the next few days.
A weak front will start to slide in from the northwest, increasing moisture levels slightly by Friday. This setup will allow for a few coastal showers (20%) in the morning, with most areas remaining mostly dry.
Ahead of the approaching front, the forecast calls for highs near 90 degrees.
The slow-moving front will linger over Central Florida through early next week, bringing higher rain and storm chances Sunday and Monday as sea breezes develop.
Expect some lightning, gusty winds and heavy downpours at times.
The addition of rain and clouds should keep things a bit cooler with highs in the low 80s.
Rain chances become less certain by midweek, but temperatures remain seasonably warm.
