Rain chances high Monday in Central Florida as front moves in; rain stays much of the week
STRAIGHT, WHICH TRANSITIONS BEAUTIFULLY INTO OUR FORECAST AREA BECAUSE WE DO DESPERATELY NEED SOME RAIN, WE’RE CERTAINLY GOING TO GET SOME. WE ARE GETTING A LOT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE WAY THAT IT GOES, RIGHT? IT’S EITHER FEAST OR FAMINE. WE HAD NOTHING FOR SO LONG AND THIS WEEK IS GOING TO BE PERHAPS TOO MUCH RAINFALL. FLOODING IS GOING TO BE A CONCERN AND IT’S ALL ASSOCIATED WITH A COLD FRONT. SO FIRST OFF, THE COLD FRONT DROPS THE TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BIT BUT BRINGS UP THAT FLOODING THREAT. WE’LL TALK ABOUT THE FLOODING IN A MOMENT. I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE ADJUSTING TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL BE INTO THE LOWER RANGE OF THE 80S. TOMORROW, HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 70 DEGREES, AND WILL STAY THERE FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THE MORNING LOWS DON’T REALLY DROP ALL THAT MUCH, BUT THE AFTERNOON HIGHS JUST DON’T CLIMB SO MUCH. SO FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, YES, IT’S GOING TO BE CLOUDY AND WET AT TIMES, BUT TRY TO ENJOY THESE TEMPERATURES BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK TO THE AMERICAN GFS MODEL, WE’VE GOT THE DROP OFF AND THEN WE’VE GOT THE STEADY CLIMB. NOW THERE IS A HINT OF SOMETHING KIND OF THE 13TH, 14TH, 15TH MAY END UP WITH A FRONT, BUT BASICALLY WE’RE OFF TO THE RACES. IT LOOKS LIKE THROUGH MID APRIL. SO THERE’S THE COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES SOUTH. THE PROBLEM IS A LITTLE STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPS OFF THE SHORELINE AND KEEPS US WITH A FAIRLY UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN, WHICH MEANS CLOUDS, SHOWERS AND YEAH, EVEN SOME THUNDERSHOWERS. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT THE NEXT WEEK’S TIME, THE FURTHER EAST YOU LIVE, THE HIGHER AMOUNTS OF RAIN WE’RE LOOKING TO SEE 3 TO 5IN OF RAINFALL. AND ANYTIME YOU GET INTO THAT TYPE OF RAIN, OBVIOUSLY FLOODING IS A CONCERN, ESPECIALLY IF IT ALL COMES PRETTY QUICKLY. SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN LOOKING AT TODAY, WE’RE WATCHING FOR THE POTENTIAL OF FLOODING, BASICALLY FOR THE ORLANDO METRO OFF TO THE EAST. AND IT’S FAIRLY SIMILAR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. BUT AGAIN, WE ARE RUNNING 3 TO 5IN OF RAIN BEHIND WHERE WE SHOULD BE FOR THE YEAR, ESPECIALLY HERE IN DAYTONA BEACH. SO RAINFALL, NOT A BAD IDEA. DAYTONA BEACH THIS MORNING LOOKING FANTASTIC, SITTING AT 69 DEGREES THERE. CURRENTLY 70 IN ORLANDO, 70 DEGREES IN KISSIMMEE AND OUR LIVE FIRST WARNING DOPPLER RADAR SHOWING SHOWERS OFF THE SHORELINE. BUT WE’LL GET MORE DEVELOPING LATER TODAY, SO IT’S A FEW SHOWERS PERHAPS THIS MORNING, BUT I THINK INTO THE AFTERNOON. THAT’S WHERE THAT RAIN COVERAGE REALLY GOES UP 70 FOR THE SHORELINE, 80 FOR THE INLAND SPOTS. FUTURECAST SHOWING A FEW SPRINKLES. LUNCHTIME. BUT NOTICE 2:00 WE START GETTING THE RAINS AND THEN THROUGH 4 OR 5, 6:00 WIDESPREAD RAINS, EVENTUALLY, EVERYTHING PILING UP ALONG OUR EAST COAST SPOTS. HENCE WHY THAT ACCUMULATION COULD GO UP, UP AND UP OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SO RAIN COVERAGE IS HIGH TODAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, 70% OF US GETTING RAINED ON. THEN FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, THE RAIN CHANCES START TO TAPER OFF, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE A SOGGY WEEK ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA GAIL WATCH IS POSTED OFFSHO
