CONDITIONS. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HEATING UP. BUT WE’VE GOT A BIG CHANGE COMING AS WELL. LOTS OF CHANGES. WE CALL IT THE ROLLER COASTER RIDE FOR A REASON, RIGHT? WE’LL BE TRAVELING UP THE COAST HERE THIS WEEKEND, BUT CRASHING DOWN AS WE MOVE INTO THE WORK WEEK. AND BOTH ARE GOING TO PLAY INTO THE DRY CONDITIONS THAT WE’VE SEEN SO FAR. THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES OF THE YEAR WILL BE HEADING OUR DIRECTION ON SATURDAY. WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS. A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH SUNDAY WITH A SMALL CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS, BUT THEN BY MONDAY WE’RE DRY ONCE AGAIN. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME WARMER WEATHER COMING YOUR WAY THIS SATURDAY. THE WARMEST THAT WE’VE BEEN SO FAR IN ORLANDO, 87 DEGREES BY SATURDAY, 88 COULD BE THE NEW NUMBER. SANFORD 87 ON SATURDAY, LEESBURG WILL BE IN THE MID 80S AS WELL, SO THE HEAT WILL BE WIDESPREAD THROUGHOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA. IN FACT, THE HEAT IS ON TODAY ALREADY SHOWING 78 DEGREE TEMPERATURES WITH A BREEZE FROM THE SOUTHWEST IN ORLANDO COMING IN AT 11MPH. ELSEWHERE, THOUGH, IT’S A MIX, A TIGHT KNIT GROUP OF TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S. 76 IN OCALA, 75 IN PALM COAST. THE COOLEST PLACE TO BE. THAT’S LEESBURG LOWER 70S THERE. AND THEN WE’RE IN THE UPPER 70S ALL THROUGHOUT BREVARD COUNTY, 79 FROM TITUSVILLE, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PALM BAY AS WE TAKE YOU HOUR BY HOUR IN ORLANDO, YOU’LL PEAK IN THE MID 80S TODAY UNDER PRETTY CONSISTENT SUNSHINE. IT’S GOING TO BE A GLORIOUS AFTERNOON, AS WILL REMAIN BLUE ALL ACROSS THE BOARD. YOUR AVERAGE HIGHS OR EXCUSE ME, YOUR FORECAST HIGH COMPARED TO YOUR AVERAGE 84 FOR YOUR HIGH TODAY IN ORLANDO. AVERAGE IS RIGHT AROUND 76 FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. SO EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK WILL BE TRENDING WARMER THAN SEASONAL. UNDERNEATH THIS AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE, KEEPING YOUR SKIES MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. HERE’S THAT SOUTHERLY BREEZE THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT FUNNELING IN THE WARMER AIR ALL ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. WINDS ARE A LITTLE BIT QUICKER ACROSS THE I-4 CORRIDOR, RANGING FROM 10 TO 15MPH FROM KISSIMMEE ALL THE WAY TO DAYTONA BEACH. SO YOU MIGHT SEE THAT BREEZE AS YOU STEP OUTSIDE FOR YOUR LUNCH BREAK TODAY. BUT WARMER WEATHER IS ON ITS WAY TOMORROW AND THEN, ESPECIALLY AS WE FINISH OFF YOUR WEEKEND COMING UP 87 FOR YOUR HIGH IN ORLANDO TOMORROW, CLERMONT 86. LOOKS LIKE YOU’LL BE IN THE 70S IN PALM COAST. NEVERTHELESS, THOUGH 80S ALMOST EVERYWHERE ELSE HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. AND HERE’S THAT RECORD-SETTING POTENTIAL FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY WITH A HIGH OF 88 DEGREES IN ORLANDO. SO THE REASON BEING IS THAT WE JUST HAVE THIS CONSISTENT DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER US. BUT ON SUNDAY, HERE’S THE CHANGE COMING YOUR WAY. A COLD FRONT MOVES IN WITH A CHANCE FOR A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS HERE AND THERE, BUT THAT ROLLER COASTER RIDE PLUMMETS ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE 40S. BY MONDAY MORNING, A 43 DEGREE DROP IN TEMPERATURES. AND AS WE STEP OUTSIDE ON TUESDAY, ONCE YOU FACTOR IN THE WIND CHILL, IT MAY FEEL LIKE YOU’RE BACK IN THE 20S ALL ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. WITH THAT NORTHWESTERLY WIND FLOW, SO WATCH OUT FOR THE COOLER WEATHER THAT LIES AHEAD, BUT THERE’S A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO BEFORE THAT. MID 80S TODAY, UPPER 80S FRIDAY. RECORD SETTING POTENTIAL SATU
