Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Cleveland, FL

UPDATE
Issued at 810 PM EDT Thu Jun 18 2026

There are just a few showers continuing across the southern interior this evening, as most of the convective activity pushes off the NE FL coast. Overnight, conditions look quiet, but warm. This means tomorrow will again start off warm and muggy as the SW flow continues. With this setup, another day of potential heat advisories looks in store, consistent with the current forecast.

No changes to the forecast are needed at this time.

.SHORT TERM (TDY-FRI)...
Issued at 205 PM EDT Thu Jun 18 2026

High pressure ridge remains south of the state keeping west to southwesterly flow in place. Tight gradient between remnants of Arthur will support breezy winds today and Friday. Additionally, cautionary level marine conditions are anticipated along with high risk of dangerous rip currents during this time. PWAT values are just below 2 in., there is plenty of instability to support showers and storms this afternoon and evening. The flow regime in place will keep pushing convection east as the sea breeze moves inland.
Also, some the parameters needed for gusty winds with to reach the surface if storms develop will be in place today and again on Friday.

On the other hand, dangerous heat continues today and Friday. The Heat Advisory that is in effect will expire at 7pm this evening, but we will likely need another one on Friday. High temperatures once again will peak in the low to mid 90s with dewpoints in the mid to upper 70s resulting in triple digits heat indices.

.LONG TERM (SAT-WED)...
Issued at 205 PM EDT Thu Jun 18 2026

Going into the weekend and next week, the area of high pressure stays south with prevailing west to southwest winds, and moisture gradually increasing. This will keep above normal temperature in place with highs in the mid 90s through the period. This pattern will support a few showers and storms near the coast early becoming widespread over the interior as the sea breezes collide. Overnight lows will also be very warm in the mid to upper 70s with coastal areas remaining around 80 degrees. Additional advisories may be need through the period. Pockets of slightly drier air attempts to move into the CWA early next week lowering convection coverage to isolated-scattered on Monday and Tuesday, especially over the interior and along/south of I-4, before the ridge axis drifts back north across the area favoring increased sea breeze convection and associated PoPs by mid week.

Issued at 810 PM EDT Thu Jun 18 2026

VFR conditions prevail through the night and into tomorrow. There is a 20% to 30% chance for most coastal terminals to see a thunderstorm tomorrow afternoon (with an even lower chance for a shower from 16Z to 20Z). However, the better coverage of thunderstorms will once again take place across the interior, in the vicinity of terminals like KLAL. Deeper moisture returns for Saturday, suggesting potentially better coverage of showers and thunderstorms. However, this overall setup will continue each day through the weekend and into early next week.
