YEAH. THE ONLY PROBLEM WE’RE REALLY DEALING WITH IS SOME COOLER TEMPERATURES. TONY. YEAH. YOU KNOW, WE HAD A GREAT STRETCH OF WEATHER WILL BE COOL IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. BY THE WEEKEND, WE’LL BE UP BETWEEN ABOUT 80 AND 85 DEGREES. SO NICE AND CALM THIS WEEK FOR ANY CLEANUP THAT’S GOING ON IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR YOUR HOME. LET ME TAKE YOU BACK OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE OUT THERE. WE’RE CRISP, COOL, AS YOU SAW THERE BEHIND ME, AND IT IS GOING TO BE A COLD NIGHT TONIGHT. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR FROST AND A FREEZE IN CENTRAL AND WESTERN SECTIONS THERE OF MARION COUNTY, AS TEMPERATURES HERE ARE EXPECTED TO FALL TO 32 OR EVEN COLDER IN THAT DARKER SHADE OF PURPLE THERE, JUST TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE VILLAGES, WE THINK THERE’S GOING TO BE FROST FROM WILDWOOD, THE VILLAGES BACK TOWARDS THE LAND. WE’LL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT IN A SECOND. LOOK AT THE SQUARE RIGHT NOW. THAT IS A PICTURE PERFECT AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES THERE IN THE UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60 HERE IN THE METRO AREA’S COLD. HIGH PRESSURE IS GOING TO BUILD IN TONIGHT. THAT’S GOING TO ALLOW FOR RELATIVELY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHTER WINDS TO ADVANCE OUR WAY. THERE IS GOING TO BE A RIBBON OF CLOUDS THOUGH, DOWN TOWARDS THE SOUTH, AND THERE MAY EVEN BE A COUPLE SPRINKLES DURING THE DAY TOMORROW ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN OSCEOLA AND BREVARD COUNTY. LOOK AT THE 24 HOUR TEMPERATURE CHANGE FROM THIS TIME YESTERDAY. ALMOST 30 DEGREES COLDER IN TITUSVILLE. STILL HAVE THAT NORTH WIND NOW AT ABOUT 5 TO 15 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT FUTURECAST HERE, IT’S GOING TO BE ANY GUSTS. THEY’RE GOING TO BE THROUGH ABOUT NINE 10:00. AND THEN I THINK THEY BEGIN TO SIMMER ON DOWN ONCE WE GET PAST MIDNIGHT. 12 HOUR PLANNER HERE NOW A FOUR ORLANDO TEMPERATURES DROPPING TO ABOUT 45 HERE IN ORLANDO. LOOK AT OCALA. WE’RE GOING TO BE RUNNING ABOUT 3332 DEGREES BY THE TIME WE GO FROM 5 TO 7. AS THOSE WINDS ARE CALMING ON DOWN. BELLEVIEW 33, SALT SPRINGS 34. DUNNELLON 2930. AND LOOK AT REDDICK RIGHT AROUND 3031 DEGREES, FROST ZONE. BUSHNELL, WEBSTER BACK TOWARDS THE VILLAGES. UMATILLA, PAISLEY. YOU’RE ON THE CUSP THERE AT 39 METRO AREAS, FROST FREE KISSIMMEE 45 SATELLITE BEACH. YOU’RE AT 52. DELAND PEARSON BACK TOWARDS ASTOR. SOME PATCHY FROST. BUNNELL, BIMINI. SHELL BLUFF. YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME PATCHY FROST. NOTICE THE WIND CHILLS OUT THE DOOR TOMORROW MORNING AT 8:00 30. NORTH AND WEST 40 TO 45 THE METRO AREAS. AND RIGHT THERE ON THE SAND. NOT MUCH OF A WIND CHILL WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 50S. SO FRONTS DOWN TO THE SOUTH. A LITTLE BIT OF MOISTURE COULD SNEAK IN AS FAR NORTH AS FAR SOUTHERN BREVARD COUNTY. OTHERWISE THE TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WITH THE CLOUDS OFF AND ON ARE GOING TO BE ON THE COOL SIDE. YOU CAN SEE RAIN CHANCES TOMORROW, LIMITED TO FAR SOUTHERN BREVARD COUNTY. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT RIP. CURRENT RISK MODERATE TO HIGH NOW. NOT JUST TOMORROW, BUT REALLY PRETTY MUCH ALL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BE RUNNING IN THE MID TO THE UPPER 60S. THE METRO AREAS. I DON’T THINK FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE JUMPING IN THE WATER WITH READINGS IN THE LOW TO THE MID 60S, BUT JUST KNOW THAT AS THEY WARM UP LATER ON IN THE WEEK, THE RIP CURRENT CONCERNS ARE STILL GOING TO BE THERE. TRACTION IS BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE AT ANY OF THEM. THIS ONE SPECIFIC TO THE MAGIC KINGDOM LOOKING ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS TO THE NORTH AND THE EAST STAYS NEARBY. COULD BE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS ALONG THE COAST THERE IN BREVARD COUNTY ONCE AGAIN ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. BUT OVERALL NOW THIS PATTERN IS SHAPING UP THAT THAT COLDER AIR IS GOING TO LIFT ON OUT AND WARMER AIR WILL APPROACH OUR AREA. BY THE TIME WE HEAD TO THE WEEKEND. WE’LL TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE WEEKEND WARM-UP TEMPERATURES FOR YOU COMING UP IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR. ALL RIGHT. SPRING ARRIVES ON FRIDAY. LOOK AT THE WEEKEND 8183. AND WE’RE TALKING ABO
