A strong cold front is expected to bring rain, gusty winds and dangerous surf to the Central Florida coast this weekend. WESH 2's First Warning Weather Team has designated Saturday and Sunday as Impact Weather days due to the front's powerful, gustY winds both inland and along the coast creating dangerous beach conditions. Winds are expected to be between 15 and 25 mph, with gusts up to 40 mph. The National Weather Service has issued a Gale Warning for Volusia County waters and will expand to Brevard County waters at 2 p.m. The marine alert is issued for strong, potentially dangerous winds of about 39 to 54 mph that are expected over the water. There is also a high risk of rip currents, as a High Surf Advisory goes into effect Saturday afternoon and continues through Sunday. The weather conditions could potentially disrupt travel and interfere with day-to-day activities.
