Summerlike heat returns midweek across Central Florida

REALLY IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SCHOOL SAFETY, WHICH IS SO CRITICAL. OBVIOUSLY. LET’S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR FORECAST. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL OVER THE WEEKEND. YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE YESTERDAY SAW SOME RAIN STORMS. DOES THAT SEEM TO BE CONTINUING TODAY? I WOULD SAY TODAY WE’RE KIND OF TAPERING IT DOWN. THERE’S A VERY WEAK FRONT. OKAY. SO INSTEAD OF BEING AROUND 90 WILL BE INTO THE MID 80S. WE’RE SEEING THESE LIKE LITTLE FRONTS. AND THEN EVENTUALLY THAT’S GOING TO GO AWAY. SO LET’S SAVOR THIS FLAVOR, RIGHT? TAKE A LOOK AT THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. AVERAGE HIGHS 86. WE WERE WARMER THAN AVERAGE OVER THE WEEKEND. TODAY RIGHT AROUND AVERAGE. BUT NOTICE TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY RIGHT BACK TO ABOUT 90 DEGREES. THEN WE DIAL UP THE RAIN CHANCES. AND THEN THERE’S ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE WEAK FRONTS THAT SNEAKS IN AND BRINGS THE TEMPERATURE DOWN. BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THOSE RAIN CHANCES FIRST. SO MID WEEK WE ARE LOOKING NICE AND QUIET. THERE’S A WEAK FRONT THAT JUST KIND OF PARKS AND HANGS OUT THAT SPARKS UP THE RAINY SEASON TYPE PATTERN. SO THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY SHOWERS AND STORMS THEN RIGHT. IT’S MONDAY, BUT IT’S STILL EARLY ENOUGH FOR LATE ENOUGH WEEK. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE WEEKEND FORECAST FOR NOW, WATCHING A STORM SYSTEM MOVE IN. SO FOR THE MOMENT, WE ACTUALLY LOOK TO HAVE A DECENT OPPORTUNITY FOR RAINFALL SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND MONDAY GOING INTO THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND BEFORE IT KIND OF CLEARS ON OUT. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. BUT UNTIL THEN, LATE THIS WEEK, THE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO START REALLY WARMING UP. GFS SAYING WE’LL GET INTO THE MID 90S ON SATURDAY. EUROPEAN SAYS LOWER 90S. I THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE HANGING OUT IN THE LOW TO MID 90S. BUT YOU GET THE IDEA. A LITTLE BIT OF A TEMPERATURE DROP OFF BECAUSE OF THAT. SO UNTIL WE GET INTO FULL ON SUMMER, WHEN WE DON’T GET THESE COLD FRONTS, WE’RE GOING TO KEEP GETTING THESE WEAK ONES WHERE THEY JUST KIND OF WATCH THE TEMPERATURES CLIMB. AND THEN WE DROP OFF A LITTLE MINI LEDGE OF SORTS. THIS IS THE WAY IT WILL BE, PROBABLY THROUGH MAY AND THEN LATE MAY. WE START UP THAT RAINY SEASON AND WE’RE DONE WITH THE FRONTS THIS MORNING. IT’S KIND OF A NICE START, ISN’T IT? DOWNTOWN ORLANDO AT 70 DEGREES DAYTONA BEACH. GOOD MORNING TO YOU, 71. WATCHING SOME RAIN NORTH OF YOU INTO FLAGLER COUNTY, TRYING TO WORK IN. AND PORT CANAVERAL. TAVARES. ALSO LOOKING GREAT. SO THE BUS STOP FORECAST THIS MORNING. PATCHY FOG AND A QUICK SHOWER. TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60S AND THEN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. A QUICK PASSING SHOWER IS GOING TO BE ABOUT IT. FIRST WARNING LIVE RADAR AROUND TOWN IS QUIET, BUT UP TO THE NORTH, WATCHING THIS BAND OF HEAVY RAIN AROUND SAINT AUGUSTINE THAT WILL TRY TO WORK INTO FLAGLER COUNTY SHORTLY. WE SEE THAT OVERALL MOTION. SO IF YOU LIVE IN PALM COAST MARYLAND SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. NOT STRONG OR SEVERE, JUST SOMETHING THAT MAY IMPACT YOU. SO WE’LL KEEP A 10% CHANCE OF RAIN THROUGH THE AREA, MAYBE A 20% CHANCE OF RAIN THIS AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES WORK THEIR WAY INTO THE MID RANGE TO THE 80S. IF YOU’RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO HEAD OVER TO THE BEACH TODAY, HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS. TO KEEP THAT IN MIND, SEAS OFFSHORE FOR THE BOATERS 3 TO 4, 1 TO 2 FOOT BREAKERS AROUND OUR AREA. SO THERE’S THAT WEAK FRONT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BACK BEHIND IT. THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO HELP TO BUILD IN THAT HEAT. AND THEN LOOKING AT LATE THIS WEEK WATCHING ANOTHER WEAK FRONT MOVING IN, JUST KIND OF HELPING TO GET THAT RAIN MACHINE GOING AGAIN. SO FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, A HIT OR MISS SHOWER, THEN FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY SHOWERS, STORMS. SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE A P
