Rain chances remain around 20% to 35%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Northeast winds will generally range from 15 to 20 mph, with gusts of 25 to 35 mph possible. Coastal areas could see stronger gusts at times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Highs will reach the upper 70s to near 80 degrees. Rough surf and dangerous rip currents will continue at all Central Florida Atlantic beaches. Breaking waves of 6 to 10 feet could also contribute to beach erosion around high tide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">A High Surf Advisory and high risk for life-threatening rip currents remain in effect along area beaches.<\/p>\n<p>This week<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Breezy conditions continue, with gusty north-northeast winds, especially near the coast. A little drier air moves in Tuesday, keeping rain chances limited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Dangerous surf and rip currents will persist, making beach activities hazardous even when skies are dry.<\/p>\n<p>Weekend outlook<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Winds could strengthen again as high pressure builds to the north and low pressure develops near a lingering front over the Florida Straits and Bahamas. That pressure pattern could bring another windy weekend, along with rough surf, dangerous rip currents and additional beach erosion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Rain chances are expected to slightly increase Friday night into the weekend, especially from Cape Canaveral southward, as moisture gathers along the front.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Temperatures will remain a few degrees below typical mid-October levels, with highs generally in the upper 70s to low 80s. Overnight temperatures may trend slightly warmer late in the week as onshore winds strengthen.<\/p>\n<p>Daily Forecast<img alt=\"\"  loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1792412530_823_wkmg_weatherdaily.webp\" width=\"234\" height=\"50\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf eUxjKG\">The News 6 Weather team ensures you&#8217;re always on top of the day&#8217;s weather.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Cooler-than-normal temperatures and gusty northeast winds will continue across Central Florida this week, while dangerous&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":431963,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29,508,221],"class_list":["post-431962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-forecast","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
