Beachgoers and boaters beware as hazardous conditions are expected for another day. Along the beaches, rough surf and a high risk of rip currents are expected. Over the waters, a small craft advisory remains in effect with seas up to 7-8 feet.
As you make your weekend plans, make outdoor activities on Saturday as rain and storm chances will ramp up for the second half of the weekend.
A surge of moisture associated a cold front will sweep in from the Gulf of Mexico and across Central Florida late Sunday morning and into the early afternoon. Widespread rain of 60-80% will be likely through the day, with a few stronger storms embedded. While gusty winds of 35-45 mph could accompany those stronger storms, the severe weather threat remains low.

Expect a 30-50% chance of scattered showers through Tuesday, with highs in the 70s Monday and into the low 60s by Tuesday.
