Discussion
High pressure over the western Atlantic Ocean remains in control of the weather across central Florida and this system will continue to pump warm air into the region. As a result, temperatures today will climb to the lower 80's and Thursday afternoon could feature record-breaking temperatures up near the 90 degree mark (Thursday's record in Melbourne is 90 degrees set in 1980). A cool front does arrive on Friday with scattered showers possible and it’ll turn somewhat cooler for the weekend across central Florida.
