| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 159pm EST Wednesday Feb 18 2026 ...New KEY MESSAGES,ARINE,Fire Weather .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 158pm EST Wednesday Feb 18 2026 - High pressure builds this week with increasing warm and dry conditions. Near record highs possible Friday and Saturday. - An increasing high rip current threat is expected through late week with building swell impacting local beaches. Always swim near a life-guarded beach and never enter the water alone. Entering the chilly surf will be strongly discouraged for much of this week! - With the increasing long period swell, boaters will need to Exercise Caution at inlets this week due to Hazardous conditions surrounding the twice daily outgoing tide. - Low to medium (30-40pct) rain chances and low (20pct) lightning storm chances forecast on Sunday as the next cold front passes central Florida. A significant cool-down is expected early next week behind this latest front. Issued at 158pm EST Wednesday Feb 18 2026 Current - Tonight South to southwest winds 10-15 mph "backing" ESE/SE along the coast this afternoon with sea breeze formation. Temperatures above climo in the U70s at the coast with values near 80 to L80s into the interior. Western Okeechobee County may realize M80s for maxes. Light winds tonight returning to an offshore component areawide. Continued dry conditions with PSunny skies. Biggest challenge this period will be potential fog/low (stratus) cloud development overnight into early Thu morning. Sea fog along the west coast tonight may advect into portions of ECFL late overnight and will likely see some low cloud formation as well over portions of the coverage warning area - especially the I-4 corridor. Have included patchy (dense) fog in the grids/zones across much of the area. Motorists should stay alert for sudden changes in visibility early Thu morning. Overnight mins mild in the U50s with a few L60s sprinkled in near larger metropolitan areas and perhaps along the immediate Treasure Coast/barrier islands. Thu-Sat...Surface high pressure across the western Atlantic continues to push further seaward with associated ridge axis across the south- central FL peninsula. The next cold front will slide southward into north FL by sunrise Sunday morning. Mainly dry conditions and increasing temperatures will continue, though a low (20pct) rain chance will be forecast late Sat overnight across portions of Lake/Volusia counties ahead of the approaching boundary. SW/W flow on Thu-Sat, will "back" onshore each afternoon along the coast with sea breeze formation. Highs in the L80s (perhaps M80s Fri/Sat) each afternoon along the coast with M-U80s into the interior. Near record highs forecast on Fri/Sat especially across interior locations. Lows continue in the U50s to L60s. Expect increasing drought and fire weather sensitivities to continue. There will be patchy to areas of (dense) fog potential in the overnight and early morning periods thru late week. Sun-Wed...Mid/upper level troughing across the eastern CONUS will force a strong cold front southward through central FL during the day on Sun. This will usher in much colder/drier conditions for early next week. We continue to carry a medium (30-40pct) rain chance and have added a low (20pct) lightning storm chance for the day on Sun. Again, only brief light to moderate rainfall is expected with this system and will not put much if any dent into the current drought conditions. West to northwest winds likely to be breezy/gusty on Sun. Highs on Sunday in the U70s to around 80F along/north of I-4 with L- M80s southward. Mon/Tuesday highs mainly in the L-M60s and may struggle into the U50s to around 60F across portions of Volusia/north Brevard counties. Temperatures moderate on Wednesday into the L-M70s for most. Lows drop Monday morning into the 40s areawide - lowest in L40s to around 40F across north Lake/north Volusia counties. Tuesday morning is expected to be the coldest in the extended with mins in the M-U30s now for much of ECFL. Near 40F to L40s for much of the coast & Orlando Metro with barrier islands in the M-U40s. Winds will remain elevated Sunday overnight with lowest min wind chills/apparent temps Monday morning in the M-U30s to L40s areawide - highest southward and near the Treasure Coast. Lowest wind chills overnight Monday into Tuesday morning are forecast in the U20s to M30s for most. Marine Issued at 158pm EST Wednesday Feb 18 2026 Southerly winds 10-15 kts, with persistent NE northeast swell keeping seas elevated 5-6 ft thru tonight in the Gulf Stream and 3-5 ft elsewhere. From Thu into Sat, we will see a repeated cycle of offshore (SW/W) winds except for "backing" along the coast each afternoon-early evening with sea breeze formation. Speeds continue 10-15 kts but may see short durations of up to 15-18 kts offshore at times. Seas generally 3-5 ft thru Thu night subsiding to 2-4 ft into Fri evening, then at or below 3 ft thru Sat evening. Both winds/seas begin to ramp up thru the day on Sun/Sunday night with approach/passage of a strong cold front. Gale conditions may be met Sunday night into early Mon. Conditions will remain hazardous for boating into early next week. Generally dry thru Sat with slight rain chances Sat night (north). SCT rain chances with isolated lightning storm chances areawide on Sunday with accompanying front. Hazardous conditions will exist this week at inlets during the twice daily outgoing tide. Small craft boaters will need to Exercise Caution here. Fire Weather Issued at 158pm EST Wednesday Feb 18 2026 Building high pressure will continue a warm and drying trend into late week, increasing min RH sensitivities. South to southwest flow will persist, generally remaining 10 mph or less. Slightly higher winds along the coast as a sea breeze develops each day. Increasing temperatures and mixing heigheights will contribute to Very Good smoke dispersion this week, especially over the interior. The next strong cold front is forecast to pass the area Sunday, bringing a low to medium (30-40%) rain chance and low (20%) lightning storm chance. Breezy/gusty west to northwest winds will be likely on Sunday ahead of the front. Much cooler and drier conditions are forecast for early next week with increasing low min RH concerns. Patchy (locally dense) fog is forecast across much of east central Florida overnight into early Thursday morning with conditions remaining favorable for fog or low stratus cloud development, again, each night and early morning through Saturday.
