Orlando weather: Coastal flood warning, high surf advisories issued; rain threat moving in
Orlando Weather Forecast: Rain chances increasing, wind stays strong
As this disturbance continues to circulate offshore, our rain chances in Central Florida rise into midweek. Meteorologist T.J. Springer talks about that and what's in store for Halloween Weekend.
The FOX 35 Storm Team is tracking strong winds and dangerous surf conditions along the Atlantic beaches and coastlines in Florida due to a high pressure system in the north and a low pressure system over the Bahamas.
Several weather alerts and advisories have been issued for this week, especially due to the potential for flooding along the coast, high surf, and potential beach erosion. Some beach crossings and boat ramps have been closed in Brevard County because of the strong, damaging surf.
Current weather alerts
What to expect:
- Coastal flood warning until 2 a.m. Friday
- High surf advisory until 2 a.m. Friday
- High rip current risk until late Thursday
- Wind advisory until 8 p.m. Thursday
Tuesday night forecast: Windy as moisture moves in
Local perspective:
- Wind gusts should top out at 30-35 mph through Tuesday night.
- A swath of tropical moisture moves northward into the Treasure Coast and Brevard County, Tuesday night and Wednesday.
- There is an increased chance for thunderstorms and showers along the coast, capable of producing 1"-3" rainfall, which could lead to potential minor flooding.
Wednesday forecast
Local perspective:
- Scattered showers and thunderstorms across Central and the Atlantic coastline
- Showers and storms will be capable of producing bursts of 1"-3" of rainfall, primarily south of Cape Canaveral.

Halloween Forecast
- High should be in the mid-to-upper 80s for Halloween
- Dew points will be elevated, which means it will feel muggy
- Lows will be warmer than average, staying in the 70s along the coast, and 60s and 70s more inland
