Orlando is starting Monday, October 26, with clear skies and temperatures around 70 degrees, while gusty northeast winds are expected to persist across east-central Florida through the day. Highs should reach about 81 degrees, with scattered showers possible and northeast winds gusting as high as 35 mph.
Windy Monday Brings A Few Showers
Rain chances rise after 8 a.m., though much of the day should remain mostly sunny between passing showers. Winds will run 15 to 20 mph inland and could be stronger near the coast, where gusts may reach 35 mph.
The National Weather Service in Melbourne says the strongest impacts will remain along the Atlantic shoreline, where repeated onshore showers could bring brief downpours and minor flooding in spots. A National Weather Service Coastal Flood Warning and High Surf Advisory remain in effect through early Thursday.
Atlantic Beach Plans Remain A Bad Bet
Breaking waves could reach 7 to 11 feet in the surf zone, with dangerous rip currents, beach erosion and minor to moderate coastal flooding expected during high tide. Entering the ocean is not advised, and boaters should expect hazardous conditions as Gale Warnings remain in effect offshore.
Monday’s update sharpens the coastal threat described in Hoodline’s previous forecast, adding a longer period of flood and surf concerns. Low-lying roads, yards, docks and parking areas near the coast and Intracoastal waterways could see saltwater flooding.
Showers Return Before A Warm Weekend
Tuesday should reach about 82 degrees, with a chance of showers and mostly sunny skies. Wednesday and Thursday stay warm in the low to mid-80s, but shower and thunderstorm chances increase, especially from late morning into the afternoon.
Friday looks mostly sunny with a high near 84 degrees and only a slight chance of afternoon showers. Saturday and Sunday should remain warm, with highs near 84 and 85 degrees, respectively, though Saturday is expected to remain mostly dry and showers and thunderstorms could affect Sunday plans.
For Orlando residents, the week ahead is less about a temperature swing than a persistent breeze and an unsettled coastal pattern. Secure lightweight outdoor items, allow extra caution near exposed waterways and skip the surf while the warnings remain posted.
