YEAH, I THINK IT MIGHT BE JUST A TINY BIT COOLER IN D.C. THAN CENTRAL FLORIDA. YOU REALLY CAN\u2019T BEAT THE WEATHER HERE, BUT ULTIMATELY UPPER 60S LOW 70S THERE. JUST LIKE WHAT WE\u2019RE SEEING THIS MORNING OUT THE DOOR. SO LET\u2019S TAKE YOU OUT TOWARDS THE COAST RIGHT NOW ACROSS NEW SMYRNA BEACH. TEMPERATURE WISE, YOU\u2019RE BACK IN THE LOWER 70S, SO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE COOLED AN ADDITIONAL DEGREE OVER THE LAST HOUR, 73 DEGREES, JUST LIKE DAYTONA BEACH. AND YOU CARRY THE SAME MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES TO START OFF THE MORNING. WE\u2019LL TRANSITION TO MORE SUNSHINE. BUT PLEASE, IF YOU\u2019RE GOING TOWARDS THE BEACH, MAKE SURE YOU\u2019RE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THOSE FLAG CONDITIONS. WE HAVE THE THREAT OF LIFE CONCERNING RIP CURRENTS THAT\u2019S ACROSS FLAGLER, VOLUSIA AND BREVARD COUNTY TODAY. IT WILL CARRY THAT STRETCH ALL THE WAY ACROSS YOUR WEEKEND. NOW, SPECIFICALLY FOR FLAGLER COUNTY, WE DO HAVE A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN PLACE IN WHICH SURROUNDING THE PERIODS OF HIGH TIDE WILL SEE THAT CHANCE FOR SOME MINOR BEACH EROSION. BUT OUT THE DOOR, MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ARE PRESENT WITH A FEW SPRINKLES OF RAIN HERE AND THERE. THESE ARE SLIDING IN FROM THE NORTH AND THE EAST, SO WE SAW A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS PULLING ACROSS ORANGE COUNTY INTO LAKE COUNTY, BUT ULTIMATELY THE SUNSHINE THAT IS GOING TO BE THE BIGGER PICTURE FOR TODAY. HERE\u2019S THAT COLD FRONT MOVING IN. THAT\u2019S WHAT\u2019S RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE FEW SHOWERS THAT WE\u2019RE STARTING OFF THE MORNING WITH. BUT STILL A LOT OF DRY AIR SURROUNDING THE GULF AND ALL ACROSS THE I-4 CORRIDOR AS WELL. WE\u2019LL SEE THOSE DRY CONDITIONS TODAY, WHICH MEANS MORE SUNSHINE COMING YOUR WAY, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR COASTAL COMMUNITIES TO UPPER 70S LOWER 80S AS YOU PEAK LATER ON TODAY, THAT COLD FRONT WILL HAVE YOU A LITTLE BIT COOLER THAN THE TEMPERATURES WE SAW YESTERDAY, DROPPING ABOUT 2 OR 3 DEGREES. COUPLE OF CLOUDS THOUGH IN THE PICTURE TODAY. SMALL CHANCE FOR THOSE ISOLATED SHOWERS COMING IN FROM THE NORTH AND THE EAST, BUT NOT TOO FAR. WIDESPREAD RAIN COVERAGE ONLY ABOUT 10% FOR YOUR AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURE WISE 83 DEGREES FOR YOUR HIGH IN ORLANDO TODAY 86 ACROSS WINTER HAVEN. THAT LOOKS LIKE IT\u2019S GOING TO BE THE WARMEST PLACE TO BE. BUT TRACKING THE TROPICS. WE HAVE SOME WARM CARIBBEAN WATERS IN WHICH THIS DISTURBANCE THAT WE\u2019RE WATCHING MOVING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN SHOWS A 30% CHANCE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. WE\u2019RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE GFS LONG RANGE MODEL IN PARTICULAR. WE DO SEE THIS POSSIBLY BECOMING A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEDNESDAY COMING UP. BUT FROM THERE, THE GFS MODEL DOES SOMETHING INTERESTING. IT\u2019S GOING TO SLINGSHOT IT OUT TOWARDS THE ATLANTIC ONCE AGAIN, IN WHICH WE\u2019LL SEE THOSE WIND SPEEDS POSSIBLY PICK UP. SO WE\u2019LL KEEP OUR EYES ON THAT SYSTEM. STILL A LOT OF TIME BETWEEN THEN AND NOW. AND THAT INCLUDES TEMPERATURES WARMING THIS WEEKEND, WHICH WILL BE BACK IN THE LOWER 80S. WATCHING THE WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS TAKE ON OUR UCF KNIGHTS. THEN AS WE CONTINUE ACROSS YOUR WEEKEND, WE\u2019RE RISING UPPER 80S ON SUNDAY. THE SUNSHINE IS BACK, BUT ON MONDAY WE\u2019LL HAVE ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY EMERGING HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. TEMPERATURE WISE, YOU SHOW 87 DEGREES FOR YOUR AFTERNOON HIGH, AND WE\u2019LL KEEP ON ROCKING WITH THE MID AND THE UPPER 80S ALL ACROSS YOUR UPCOMING WORKWEEK.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Dangerous Rip Current Risk Persists in Central Florida | Monitoring Chance For Our Next Tropical Depression<\/p>\n<p>Dangerous Rip Current Risk Persists in Central Florida | Monitoring Chance For Our Next Tropical Depression<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760707391_975_wesh.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WESH logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 8:51 AM EDT Oct 17, 2025\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wesh.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDangerous Rip Current Risk Persists in Central Florida | Monitoring Chance For Our Next Tropical DepressionOvernight lows are back in the sixties to kick off your morning, and expect to stay below average with highs in the low eighties.
