A new week begins tomorrow: Here is the weather forecast for 10 Florida cities

FLORIDA — October 25, 2026 — A new week begins Monday, October 26, and Florida residents can expect a mixture of sunshine, gusty winds, scattered showers, and coastal flooding concerns as weather conditions vary across the Sunshine State.

While some communities will enjoy pleasant fall temperatures and relatively dry conditions, others will face stronger winds, rough surf, and an increased chance of rain.

The National Weather Service is paying particular attention to Florida’s Atlantic coastline, where persistent onshore winds and elevated tides could create dangerous conditions for coastal communities.

From Jacksonville and Orlando to Miami, Tampa, and the Panhandle, here is what residents should know before heading to work, taking children to school, or planning outdoor activities Monday.

1. Jacksonville — Windy and Cooler, With Coastal Flooding Concerns

Jacksonville will begin the new week with partly sunny skies, windy conditions, and temperatures reaching approximately 73°F (23°C).

The National Weather Service forecasts northerly winds of 18 to 20 mph, with gusts reaching 31 mph. The chance of rain is relatively low, around 10%, mainly during the early morning hours.

However, coastal flooding remains a serious concern along parts of Northeast Florida.

Residents near the St. Johns River, beaches, and low-lying coastal communities should remain alert to changing water levels, particularly around high tide.

2. Miami — Showers, Thunderstorms, and Strong Winds

Miami faces a more unsettled start to the week.

Monday’s temperatures are expected to reach approximately 82°F (28°C), but showers and thunderstorms are likely during portions of the day.

Northeasterly winds of 20 to 25 mph could produce gusts approaching 37 mph.

The combination of elevated tides, strong onshore winds, and rainfall could worsen flooding in vulnerable coastal neighborhoods.

Residents should avoid driving through flooded roads and monitor official warnings.

3. Orlando — A Mild Start to the Week

Central Florida will experience relatively mild temperatures as the new workweek begins.

Orlando residents should prepare for a mixture of clouds and sunshine, with the possibility of passing showers depending on local conditions.

The northeast wind pattern may make the weather feel breezier than usual, particularly in open areas.

People visiting theme parks or spending extended periods outdoors should check updated forecasts before leaving home.

4. Tampa — Comfortable Temperatures Along the Gulf Coast

Tampa will begin the week with generally comfortable fall conditions compared with the more unsettled Atlantic coast.

Periods of sunshine and passing clouds are expected, with breezy conditions possible.

Although widespread severe weather is not indicated in the regional outlook reviewed, residents should continue monitoring local forecasts, particularly those planning boating or other activities near the water.

5. Tallahassee — A Quieter Start to Monday

Florida’s capital is expected to experience a relatively calmer weather pattern.

Residents can anticipate seasonal temperatures and periods of sunshine, with cooler conditions during the morning and evening compared with South Florida.

Those leaving home early may want a light jacket, especially in exposed or breezy areas.

6. Gainesville — Pleasant Fall Conditions

Gainesville will begin the week with comparatively mild weather.

The Northeast Florida weather pattern may bring noticeable breezes, but conditions are generally more favorable for outdoor activities than along the immediate Atlantic coastline.

Residents should still monitor updated local forecasts for any changes in wind or precipitation.

7. Daytona Beach — Showers and Coastal Hazards

Daytona Beach is expected to see showers Monday, with a forecast high near 79°F (26°C) and an early morning low around 69°F (21°C).

The National Weather Service indicates a 60% daytime probability of precipitation.

Beachgoers should be especially cautious because strong onshore winds can create dangerous surf and rip currents.

Even when rain temporarily stops, ocean conditions may remain hazardous.

8. Fort Myers — Warmer Conditions in Southwest Florida

Fort Myers will experience a warmer start to the week than many northern Florida communities.

Southwest Florida is expected to benefit from a comparatively more stable weather pattern, although passing clouds and coastal breezes remain possible.

Residents planning outdoor work or recreation should stay hydrated and monitor local conditions throughout the afternoon.

9. Naples — Sunshine and Warm Temperatures

Naples is expected to enjoy one of the more favorable forecasts in Florida on Monday.

The National Weather Service predicts sunny conditions, with a high near 85°F (29°C) and an early morning low around 70°F (21°C).

The daytime rain probability is close to zero in the latest regional forecast.

For residents and visitors, Monday could offer favorable conditions for walking, outdoor dining, and other activities, although marine conditions should be checked separately before boating.

10. Pensacola — Watching the Weather in the Panhandle

Pensacola residents will begin the new week while the region continues recovering from the impacts of Hurricane Isaias earlier this month.

Although the most dangerous impacts of that hurricane have passed, residents should remain attentive to changing local conditions and any lingering hazards in affected areas.

Anyone working outdoors or traveling through previously damaged locations should check current advisories before heading out.

What Should Florida Residents Watch This Week?

The most significant weather concern entering the new week is not necessarily extreme heat or widespread thunderstorms, but the combination of strong coastal winds, elevated tides, and possible flooding along parts of the Atlantic coast.

Jacksonville and Miami deserve particular attention because of coastal flooding concerns, while Daytona Beach residents should prepare for showers and potentially hazardous beach conditions.

Meanwhile, Southwest Florida is expected to experience warmer and, in some areas, sunnier weather.

Weather conditions can change quickly, and localized thunderstorms or flooding may develop even when the broader forecast appears favorable.

Residents are encouraged to monitor National Weather Service advisories, follow local emergency management instructions, and avoid flooded roads.
