Daytona Beach is starting Veterans Day with partly cloudy skies and temperatures around 68 degrees early Wednesday, followed by a warm afternoon near 80. A few morning showers could pass through before skies brighten, but the bigger weather story is the sharp cooldown arriving late Thursday.
Morning Showers Give Way To A Warm Afternoon
The National Weather Service forecast isolated showers through early afternoon Wednesday, with a 30% to 40% chance of rain and storms late in the day. After that, conditions should turn partly sunny, with west winds generally staying between 0 and 5 mph and temperatures topping out around 80 to 82 degrees.
Storm chances are higher south of Orlando and toward the Treasure Coast during the afternoon and evening. A few stronger storms could produce gusts of 50 to 60 mph and hail near the size of a quarter in those areas, but Daytona Beach's forecast is mainly calling for isolated showers and otherwise manageable conditions.
Cold Front Brings A Noticeable Change
Thursday will remain mild but mostly cloudy, with a high near 79 and west winds gusting up to 20 mph. The cold front is expected to move through Thursday night, setting up a breezy Friday with mostly sunny skies, temperatures in the low to mid 70s, and northwest gusts around 20 mph.
Coolest Air Arrives This Weekend
Saturday looks sunny but much cooler, with a high near 65 and an overnight low around 51 in Daytona Beach. Sunday rebounds slightly to about 71 degrees under mostly sunny skies, with onshore flow returning as cooler air settles over the weekend.
The shift will be most noticeable for early-morning plans, when Central Florida moves from warm, humid conditions into a much drier and more jacket-friendly stretch. Inland communities could run colder than the immediate shoreline, while wind chills may briefly dip into the 40s farther north and west of Daytona Beach.
Flooding Remains A Regional Concern
Even as Daytona's rainfall forecast stays limited, flooding continues along portions of the St. Johns River. River levels are expected to hold steady or slowly rise at several forecast points, so residents near low-lying waterways should continue following local warnings and updated river forecasts.
Rain And Stronger Winds Return Next Week
The weather turns more unsettled Monday and Tuesday, with a 20% chance of rain Monday, 40% Monday night, and 50% Tuesday during the day. Breezy onshore flow is expected early next week along the Atlantic coast.
