Sunny Skies, Mid-80s Temps Sweep Treasure Coast Through Friday

TODAY: Mostly clear skies and comfortable conditions greet the Treasure Coast on Wednesday, with highs climbing to the mid-80s. Winds start out of the south at five to 10 mph before shifting southeast at 10 to 15 mph late in the afternoon. No rain is forecast, according to National Weather Service Melbourne data.

TONIGHT: Another clear, quiet night. Temperatures drop to the upper 60s — cool enough for open windows. South winds at five to 10 mph will gust to 20 mph before swinging west after midnight.

THIS WEEK: The pattern stays favorable through Friday. Thursday brings partly sunny skies and upper-80s heat, with west winds early becoming south and gusting to 20 mph by late afternoon. Thursday night stays partly cloudy, with lows near 70 and southwest winds gusting to 20 mph. Friday rounds out the week mostly sunny, back to the upper 80s, and nearly identical to Wednesday — south winds building southeast at 10 to 15 mph toward sunset. No significant storm system threatens the region through this forecast window, according to the National Weather Service Melbourne Zone Forecast Product.

ON THE WATER: Conditions look favorable all three days. Winds stay light in the morning — five to 10 mph — before building to 10 to 15 mph by late afternoon. Anglers and boaters should plan their best fishing and boating window in the morning hours, before the afternoon sea breeze stiffens. Nearshore and inlet fishing should be productive. Offshore, expect a light chop building through the afternoon as southeast winds organize. The wind shift to westerly overnight each night will keep the morning calm and reset conditions for the next day.

ALERTS: No active National Weather Service watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Martin, St. Lucie, or Indian River counties, according to National Weather Service Melbourne.

The bottom line for the Treasure Coast this week: get out there. Three nearly identical days of sun, warmth, and manageable winds make this stretch one of the better late-April windows for boaters, anglers, and beachgoers — and a rare dry reprieve before rainy season arrives in June.
