Orlando, FL – A few isolated showers are likely Saturday morning into the afternoon as a tropical low moves away from Florida’s east coast. It’ll stay breezy over the next few days, but drier weather is on the horizon.
While we’ll experience more sunshine, high tides and winds will increase the flood risk along the coast. Any flooding that occurs will be due to tidal forces, not rain, as the weekend is forecasted to remain mostly dry.
A coastal flood warning and advisory remains in effect through Sunday morning.
Saltwater flooding is likely during high tide in areas that typically experience tidal flooding. This weekend’s tides are anticipated to rise about half a foot to a foot above last week, which could elevate water levels 2 to 3 feet above usually dry ground.
Some minor coastal flooding may continue into early next week.
The St. Johns River and its tributaries will be affected as well. At Astor, the river is expected to peak around 3.6 feet Saturday night, marking the moderate flood stage. When the river reaches approximately 3.5 feet, canals begin to overflow into yards. High tide will occur between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday, with the river predicted to remain in moderate flood stage throughout much of the week.
Following this, fall-like conditions will take hold, with morning temperatures in the mid to upper 60s and afternoons warming into the low to mid-80s. Overnight lows tonight will drop into the 60s, maintaining that pleasant early-fall sensation a bit longer.
