Storms Return Sunday as Treasure Coast Weekend Starts on Drier Side

TODAY: A coin-flip Friday — 50% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms under partly cloudy skies. High in the upper 80s. Southeast winds five to 10 mph, the National Weather Service said.

TONIGHT: Skies stay partly cloudy as winds ease to around five mph out of the south before turning light and variable before dawn. Low in the mid 70s.

THIS WEEK: Saturday is the pick of the weekend. Partly sunny skies and a 50% rain chance keep the door open for outdoor plans, with highs again in the upper 80s and a southeast breeze at five to 10 mph. Saturday night clears out nicely — mostly clear, with lows in the upper 70s and a light south wind. The pattern stiffens on Sunday: showers hold off through the morning, but expect thunderstorms to organize by late afternoon and push toward sunset, forecasters said. The rain chance climbs to 70% Sunday, with highs near 90. Plan accordingly if you have evening outdoor commitments — that window closes fast.

ON THE WATER: Conditions look manageable both days. Southeast winds at five to 10 mph keep chop light inshore and near St. Lucie Inlet and Sebastian Inlet. Offshore, seas should run moderate. The better fishing window across all three counties is Saturday morning, before any sea-breeze convection can develop. Sunday morning offers a similar early window, but the afternoon build is faster — get off the water by early afternoon, NWS data shows.

ALERTS: No active NWS watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Martin, St. Lucie, or Indian River counties at time of publication. Conditions can change rapidly during early rainy season; check NWS Melbourne (weather.gov/mlb) for updates before heading out Sunday.
