Cool temperatures will greet early-morning risers in Central Florida due to high pressure across the eastern United States.

Rain chances will mainly stay across the Atlantic waters and near the coast, according to NWS Melbourne.

Breezy winds are expected to gust in the 25-30 mph range Thursday afternoon.

Afternoon temperatures will have highs in the upper 70s, which is below the norm.

There is a high risk for life-threatening rip currents at the beach and a high surf advisory for large breaking waves in the surf zone.

Experts recommend beachgoers stay out of the water.
