Cold front in forecast for this weekend. Will lower temps bring rain?
A cool front headed this way is expected to bring lower temperatures and mostly dry, breezy conditions to the Treasure Coast by Friday, according to the National Weather Service in Melbourne.
Ahead of the weekend front, there is the potential for widely scattered showers that could bring less than an inch of rain in some areas through Wednesday, said meteorologist Kole Sahling at the National Weather Center in Melbourne.
Conditions Wednesday were expected to remain breezy, with northern wind gusts of 25 to 30 mph across Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties, he said.
'It'll be seasonal to slightly above normal over the next couple of days and then cooler temperatures into the weekend and then it will warm up quickly into early next week,' Sahling said Wednesday. 'It's going to be mostly dry for the Treasure Coast. There will be some rain with the front as it approaches East Central Florida … but the Treasure Coast, we do not have rain forecast. We have a 10% chance.'
Daytime high temperatures over the weekend are forecast to be in the low 80s to upper 70s from Miami through Vero Beach with overnight lows possibly dipping into the 50s, Sahling said.
A low-pressure center in the Midwest that's moving toward the southeastern United States is expected to bring cooler temperatures by Friday morning.
'The major change is going to be the cooler temperatures, so it will be in the low to mid-80s on Friday and then behind the front, it'll be in the upper 70s to low 80s on Saturday and Sunday,' he said. 'Temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s are forecast Friday night into Saturday morning, and then low temperatures in the low to upper 50s Saturday night into Sunday morning.'
Residents in western Indian River and St. Lucie counties could also see an elevated risk of wildfires through Saturday.
'Fire weather will be a concern Friday and then into the weekend and early next week as well,' Sahling said.

Hazardous boating conditions are also anticipated at local beaches across the Treasure Coast with a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents possible through the weekend.
'Marine conditions will be poor to hazardous with significant impacts offshore from 20 to 60 nautical miles out,' he said.
