Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Southeast Arcadia, FL

DISCUSSION
Issued at 300 PM EDT Thu Apr 17 2025

A region of high pressure sitting off the southeastern U.S. coast continues to dominate our area, bringing about a calm weather pattern with warm temperatures. Upper level ridging is currently building over the state, creating high pressure both aloft and at the surface, allowing for temperatures to climb above the climatic means and approaching record highs into early next week. Highs are currently in the upper 80s and are expected to rise to around or slightly above 90 degrees over the weekend, and remain there into next week. The easterly flow remains light enough to allow the development of local sea breezes each afternoon near the coast.

FIRE WEATHER

However, winds are expected to remain below 15 MPH which will preclude Red Flag conditions.
