Wind chills in the 30s by sunrise Sunday

The wind will be out of the west to northwest at 5 to 10 mph overnight. The temperatures will drop down into the middle and upper 30s by sunrise from the cities of Fort Pierce and Okeechobee through Orlando and Daytona Beach and west in to Clermont and Leesburg...and the upper 30s to around 40 from south of Fort Pierce to Hobe Sound and inland to Port Mayaca. The combination of the low temperatures and 5 to 10 mph wind will make it feel like it is in the low 30s from Daytona to Clermont and south to the city of Okeechobee. Late night wind chills in the middle 30s are expected to occur along the coast from Cocoa to Fort Pierce and the upper 30s to around 40 south of Fort Pierce to Jupiter Inlet inland to Indiantown and Port Mayaca in Martin county.

West to northwest winds 15 to 20 knots and 4 to 6 foots willl make it necessary for small craft operators to exercise caution if sailing out only a few miles from port. Northwest winds at 20 to 25 knots and seas 5 to 7 feet will result in small craft advisory for the coastal waters beyond 20 miles of shore.

Cooler and Windy with Deteriorating Marine Conditions

A tight pressure gradient over the area will allow for west or west-northwest winds to increase to 20 mph and gusty across the area today. A Lake Wind Advisory is in effect from Osceola County - Indian River County northward until 7 pm this evening. A cooler than normal day with temperatures only reaching the lower to middle 60s areawide.

Deteriorating marine conditions have prompted a Small Craft Advisory for off shore marine legs from Flagler Beach through Jupiter Inlet. Seas will build to 5 to 7 feet with west-northwest wind speeds between 20 and 25 knots. Near shore small craft should exercise caution as seas build to 4 to 6 feet and winds average between 15 and 20 knots.

A small but long period northeast swell will continue to generate a Moderate Rip Current threat along area beaches today. The greatest threat will be during the afternoon due to tidal effects.

Gusty winds with low afternoon relative humidities has prompted a Red Flag Warning from Osceola County to Indian River County northward until 7 pm this evening.

West to northwest winds will continue to transport a colder airmass down the Florida peninsula tonight. Temperatures will fall overnight into the middle to upper 30s. With wind speeds remaining elevated 5 to 10 mph expect wind chill readings in the lower to middle 30s over much of the area. Conditions remain marginal for a Wind Chill Advisory issuance overnight.
