High winds and rain this week in Sebastian, Florida, along with a Coastal Flood Advisory and a High Surf Advisory until Friday. A Flood Watch will start on Wednesday night. The likelihood of rain is 60-70% through Thursday, though conditions may improve before the weekend. Wind speeds are 15-20 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph. 

The rain is primarily due to a storm system traveling east in the Gulf of Mexico and a tropical disturbance south of Cuba, which is expected to move into the Atlantic. Although there’s a 70% chance of this system developing further, it currently poses no threat to Florida. 

Here are the expected daily temperatures for the week:

Boaters should be cautious as seas range from 7 to 9 feet, possibly reaching 11 feet until Thursday. After that, seas are expected to rise to 9 to 11 feet, with occasional heights up to 13 feet. Due to these conditions, the National Weather Service might issue a Small Craft Advisory this week.
