Coastal Waters Forecast for East Central Florida
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
A cold front pushing through the local Atlantic waters, deep high pressure over the eastern United States, and a low developing off the eastern seaboard will lead to rapidly developing hazardous to dangerous boating conditions today. The front is forecast to stall south of the area while the low and high pressure areas become nearly stationary, causing unsafe conditions to persist into early next week. High coverage of showers and embedded storms continue along and ahead of the front, and then gusty scattered showers will push toward the coast and onshore behind the front through early next week.
Atlantic coastal waters from Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet out 60 nm. Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest one third of the waves, along with the occasional height of the average highest ten percent of the waves.
