It is a windy and unsettled day in east central Florida, with gusty winds expected to continue throughout the day. Beach conditions are expected to be particularly dangerous, with large waves of up to 12 feet and a high risk of rip currents. Scattered showers are expected throughout the week, driven by lingering moisture from a stalled front and a steady easterly breeze. The weather will gradually improve, but conditions will remain rough.
