WHAT IS THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR THE BEACHES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA?

Rain chances look a bit lower in the coastal areas on this Wednesday, right around the 30-40% range with development tied tightly to the Atlantic seabreeze progressing inland. Coastal areas could see both late AM and PM rain, something to consider if you've got plans on the coast. Surf is still pumping in at 2-3' in Southeast swell, conditions could be quite fun if you're looking to catch some waves.

LOOKING AHEAD:
The FOX 35 STORM TEAM is expecting much drier air to fill into the forecast area later tonight and into the weekend. This will force rain chances down to about 20% and pump up the volume on local temps. In the tropics....still silent with tropical storm formation not expected for at least the next 5 days.
