Sunshine, warming temps expected this week in Central Florida
TO OUR WEBSITE, WESH.COM. ALL RIGHT, IT’S 517. WE’RE BACK TO SEEING SOME SEASONAL TEMPERATURES HERE AT HOME. BUT OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW WHERE WE LIVE, THAT’S NOT GOING TO LAST VERY LONG. ERIC. RIGHT. WE KNOW HOW THIS GOES TODAY. WE’RE ALREADY ABOVE AVERAGE BY THE WEEKEND. WILL BE FLIRTING WITH RECORDS BECAUSE FLORIDA IS GOING TO FLORIDA LOOK AT THE SEVEN DAY THOUGH. I MEAN, IT’S NOT BAD. IT’S JUST GETTING WARM TODAY. 84 DEGREES, THE NORMAL HIGH ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN IS 83. WE GET TO 87 ON THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, CLOSING IN ON THE 90S NEAR RECORD HEAT FOR SURE. AND THEN OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN COMES IN ON MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK AS THE TEMPERATURES COME DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT. SO LET’S JUST KIND OF LOOK AT THE SETUP. I WANT TO FOCUS ON THIS WEEKEND. A COUPLE OF SHOWERS DOWN IN SOUTH FLORIDA FOR US. WE’RE LOOKING NICE FOR SATURDAY. SAME IDEA FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. MODELS ARE SHOWING PERHAPS LIKE A LITTLE BACK DOOR FRONT, VERY WEAK LITTLE FRONT THAT KIND OF SNEAKS IN, BRINGS A FEW SHOWERS. BUT LOOK AT THE RAW AMERICAN GFS MODEL OUTPUT SHOWING THOSE TEMPERATURES CLIMBING FOR SATURDAY SUNDAY TO ABOUT 90 DEGREES. THEN A LITTLE BIT OF A TEMPERATURE DROP OFF. COULD EVEN SEE SOME COMFORTABLE MORNINGS INTO THE UPPER 50S LOWER 60S IN THE METRO, THEN WILL CLIMB THROUGH NEXT WEEK AND THEN PERHAPS DROP BACK OFF TOWARD THE END OF THE MONTH. SO THE MODELS ARE AT LEAST HINTING THAT WE COULD HAVE A COUPLE OF WEAK FRONTS LEFT IN THE CAN. JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THAT ALL PLAYS OUT. THAT SAID, THIS IS NOT A COLD FRONT. THIS IS OUR SATURDAY AFTERNOON TEMPERATURE, 91 DEGREES IN ORLANDO, 92 IN WINTER HAVEN, 94 DEGREES IN WILDWOOD. IT’S GOING TO GET HOT FOR NOW. JUST BEAUTIFUL ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S AND 70S. OUR FIRST WARNING LIVE RADAR. QUIET. BUT I SAW THIS JUST POPPING UP. AND AS QUICKLY AS IT POPPED UP, IT FADED. A FEW TEENY TINY SHOWERS THAT WERE TRYING TO WORK OVER TO SATELLITE BEACH. SO ARE WE GOING TO GET SOME RAIN? PROBABLY NOT, BUT IT’S AT LEAST WORTH MENTIONING. FORECAST TODAY. NICE AND DRY. LOW 80S FOR LUNCHTIME 83. OUR HIGH TWO THREE 4:00. AND THEN LITTLE BY LITTLE THAT WILL DROP OFF AGAIN THIS EVENING WITH THESE WARMING TEMPERATURES. ABSOLUTELY GREAT WEATHER TO GET INTO THE BACKYARD SWIMMING POOL. QUIET. NO THUNDER, NO LIGHTNING, NO CONCERNS. IF YOU’RE HEADING OVER TO THE BEACHES, RIP CURRENT RISK IS MODERATE, SO AT LEAST WE’RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT BETTER. SEAS FOR THE BOATERS RUNNING 3 TO 4. SURF BREAKING AT 2 TO 3 AND OCEAN TEMPERATURES ARE SITTING RIGHT AT 70 DEGREES. HIGH PRESSURE IS KEEPING US NICE AND STABLE. THAT MEANS THAT AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, NO WEATHER MAKERS COMING IN TO MESS UP OUR WEATHER PLANS. IT’S JUST GOING TO BE HOT 90 DEGREES FOR FRIDAY 9
