What's weather forecast for Florida this weekend? Will it rain? Are summer temps here?
It's going to be a hot, dry weekend across most of Florida during these final days of April. If you plan to head to the beach to cool off, watch out for dangerous rip currents. And smelly sargassum seaweed. And blue-green algae or red tide or healthy advisories that may make it unsafe for swimming. ➤ Weather alerts via text: Sign up to get updates about current storms and weather events by location The National Weather Service Melbourne and Miami warned there's a high risk for rip currents at local beaches and said "entering the surf is not advised!" Temperatures will be "noticeably warmer," reaching the low- to mid-90s in interior counties in Central Florida and mid- to upper 80s along the East Coast, according to the National Weather Service Melbourne. "A moderate heat risk exists on Sunday (April 27) over the interior of east central Florida as temps will be several degrees above normal. Leesburg will have the best chance to equal/exceed its record high of 93" on April 27. Residents in Northeast Florida also can expect "above seasonable temperatures" through the weekend, with highs ranging from the mid 80s along the immediate coast to the upper 80s/low 90s inland, according to the National Weather Service Jacksonville. High temperatures in the lower 90s will be common over inland areas, with a few mid-90s expected over the inland Big Bend, NWS Tallahassee said. Maybe, for some areas. Isolated to scattered showers and storms could develop Sunday afternoon in Northeast Florida, but dry conditions are expected in the Panhandle. Don't expect any rain to move south. "The weekend is forecast to remain rain-free for most," NWS Melbourne said. Dangerous rip currents are expected through late Saturday along much of Florida's east coast, according to NWS Melbourne and Miami. "Entering the surf is strongly discouraged." "Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water." If caught in a rip current: Relax and float Don't swim against the current If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help Saturday: Patchy fog before 8 a.m. Otherwise, sunny, with a high near 82.
