A large ridge of high pressure responsible for our recent stretch of heat will begin breaking down, thanks to a strong late season cold front swinging across the southeast Wednesday. Until then, any lingering showers and storms will end around midnight tonight, with patchy fog developing late.
Another round of afternoon showers and storms are set to develop Tuesday, and a few strong storms are possible. Highs reach the upper 80s to lower 90s. As the front sweeps in Wednesday, another round of strong to severe storms will be possible, especially late morning into the afternoon. Highs cool slightly into the low 80s Wednesday through Saturday.
We’ve had a few isolated showers near our beaches, but better chances for scattered activity may have some of you scurrying for cover the next couple days with the approach of a cold front. Poor surfing conditions are expected again Tuesday, with wave heights around knee high. We’ll keep the rip current risk moderate. Water temps have warmed to 80 at Cocoa Beach.
