Destination Brevard Daily Update 1/6/25

Keep up to date with the businesses and events that we spotlight each day on our social media streams in one spot and without having to be on those social media streams! This is your Daily Update.

Here’s today’s list of events in Brevard County and where you can listen to live music and it’s brought to you by Doug Herrell Plumbing, Brevard’s #1 Choice for Polybutylene Piping Replacement. Click on the image below to see the list.

Okay people, enjoy today’s mild temps as we’ll see an afternoon high in the upper 70’s before the next and strongest cold front of this winter arrives tonight and ohhhhhh man will things be a little different when you wake up tomorrow. Morning lows tomorrow could be in the upper 30’s on the west side of the IRL tomorrow, especially in North Brevard, but there’s not any threat of a freeze at this point. There is also a little bit of a chance for rain as that front approaches late this evening.

And yeah, we’re in for an extended period of colder than normal temperatures for most of the rest of this month. Break out the long sleeve shirts and jeans!

One last thing, we’re going to be looking for a local business to sponsor our daily weather update each morning, so if you own a local business that wants a plug every single day AND a permanent banner on the weather page we’re building on our website, let us know. Only one business is going to be able to take advantage of this.

I don’t know anything about Fat Shack except that they are opening one up sometime in the near future at the southeast corner of Wickham and Lake Washington in Melbourne. Click on the image below for more info.

The 2nd launch of 2025 from the #spacecoast is set for today as #SpaceX is looking to put another batch of #Starlink satellites into orbit from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The three hour long launch window opens at 12:21 p.m. and the first stage of this #Falcon9 has already launched and landed 16 times and it’ll land on a barge in the Atlantic before making its way back to Port Canaveral to be used again. The 3rd launch of the year is set for tomorrow morning! Click on the image below for more info.

Space news and updates are brought to you by Launch Credit Union.

Start your Monday off with a plate of blueberry filled pancakes at Sunrise Diner on 520 in Cocoa Beach!

As I look forward to a trip to the donut capital of the world (that would be most of the entire state of Texas) late next week, you might like to know that you can get a taste of Texas doughnuts AND kolaches at Kolache Bar on N. Courtenay Pkwy. in Merritt Island!

It’s a little bit on the chilly side this morning and you could probably use a hot cup of coffee from locally owned Indian River Coffee Co. on Sarno Road in Melbourne.

Whether you have a new pool that’s going to need to be filled or if your pool is undergoing some maintenance that might require it to be refilled, D&D Bulk Water Services is ready to fill it.

Some great info regarding mteal roofs from 3LP Roofing and yes it’s very important to make sure your roofing company is using quality materials. Especially if you live beachside or along the IRL.

It doesn’t stay cold for too long in Brevard County each winter, but there are times where your heater might pop on (tomorrow morning is likely to be one of them). Quality Comfort Air Conditioning And Heating Inc. can make sure your heater is ready to keep you warm when needed.

And if your heater hasn’t gone off yet this winter, you might want to crank it up before you go to bed tonight so that your smoke detector doesn’t wake you up at 3 a.m. tomorrow.

Good luck to the @Space Coast Boardriders Club on their trip to compete in Australia!

Are you heading over to the Mecum Auctions event in Kissimmee this week? Yes it’s open to the public and there are plenty of things to see and experience.

Looking at what parts of the country are dealing with today and what many will continue to put up with for the next couple months and I’m 100% glad that I can complain about it only possibly getting down into the upper 30’s for a day.

Wanna know what’s NOT awesome? A critter (or critters) making your home their home.

With the coldest weather we’ve seen so far this winter on it’s way tonight, there’s a good chance that some type of animal might start looking at your home as a great place to stay warm.

The best thing you can do is make sure there’s no way for animals to gain access to your home, but if they manage to find a way inside, give @On Point Wildlife Removal a call before things go from bad to OMG.

Yes Luxe Furniture and Interior Design FL on New Haven Ave. in West Melbourne is much more than a pretty awesome locally owned furniture store. Their staff can help you design the PERECT room!

Two pressed patties they were seared on the Blackstone Products flat top with white American deli cheese, onions, lettuce, our housemade Big Smash sauce and all of that on a toasted Pretzilla bun.

What’s cookin’ at your casa tonight?

Since it turned into a burger night at Cafe Mi Casa for dinner, here are four options for burgers pulled from our files. Going clockwise from the top right, The Burger Place in Downtown Melbourne, The Broken Barrel Tavern on Babcock St. in Palm Bay, The Burger Inn on US1 in Melbourne and Cabana Shores on US1 in Palm Shores.

I had the pleasure of visiting A Cozy Pineapple on Pineapple Ave. in Melbourne this afternoon on and what a great location for a “staycation” or if you have family/ friends coming for a visit.
