Breezy and gusty weather patterns persist in east Central Florida, with rain probabilities ranging from 20% to 30% along the coastline. The temperature across the Central Florida area remains between 77 and 80 degrees, as noted by the National Weather Service in Melbourne. Inland areas experience a 10% chance of precipitation, which rises as one approaches the coast.
