central Florida Atlantic beaches today. In addition, a strong,
southward-flowing longshore current will be present. Always swim

Small Craft Advisory is in effect for the local waters out to 60
nautical miles.

Cooler air is forecast to remain over east central Florida into
the weekend. Minimum wind chill values in the mid 30s to mid 40s
are expected Friday and Saturday morning.

Sensitive fire weather conditions are forecast to persist into the
weekend. Low relative humidity and breezy conditions Friday will
produce an increased fire danger.

Residents and interests along the Saint Johns River near Astor
will continue to experience minor to moderate flood impacts for
the foreseeable future.
