Orlando, FL – A few isolated showers are possible Saturday morning into the afternoon as a tropical low moves away from Florida’s east coast. It’ll stay breezy for the next several days, but drier weather is on the way.
Even though we’ll see more sunshine, the combination of high tides and winds will raise the flood risk along the coast. Any flooding that does happen will be from tidal forces—not rain—as the weekend is expected to stay mostly dry.
A coastal flood warning and advisory remains in effect through Sunday morning.
During high tide, saltwater flooding is likely in areas that usually see tidal flooding. This weekend’s tides are expected to run about half a foot to a foot higher than last week, which could put water levels 2 to 3 feet above typically dry ground.
Some minor coastal flooding may continue into early next week.
The St. Johns River and its tributaries will also feel the effects. At Astor, the river is expected to crest around 3.6 feet Saturday night, which is in the moderate flood stage. When the river reaches about 3.5 feet, canals start to spill into yards. High tide will occur between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday, and the river is expected to stay in moderate flood stage through much of the week.
After that, fall-like conditions will settle in, with mornings in the mid to upper 60s and afternoons warming into the low to mid-80s. Overnight lows tonight will dip into the 60s, keeping that comfortable early-fall feel around a little longer.
