ORLANDO, Fla. - We have a cold weekend ahead across central Florida with the coolest temperatures of the season arriving tonight.

An area of strong low pressure is moving into the Atlantic off our east coast. As it moves east, it is ushering in cold air, windy conditions with lingering showers today. 

Most of the rain falling this morning is in our northern counties and across Georgia. There is a chance for a few more additional inches of rain, mainly in northern Volusia County and counties to the north.

Winds will be very noticeable today, mainly along the coast. Sustained winds will be out of the northwest at 15-25 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph. There is a Windy Advisory along coastal Volusia, Brevard and Flagler Counties until midnight tonight. Entering the surf is not recommended today. 

There is a high risk for rip currents, a High Surf Advisory and a Coastal Flood Warning.
