BACK OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. SHIFTING GEARS. GREAT STORY THOUGH. SANIKA. ALL RIGHT, BACK UP TOWARDS MARYLAND FLAGLER COUNTY. WE HAD SOME RAIN UP THERE EARLIER AND NOW WE’RE OVERCAST. AND WE’LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT ON THIS FRONT OVER THE WEEKEND TO COOL THINGS DOWN. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT UPDATED COASTAL SEVEN-DAY FORECAST 88. HOT ONE TOMORROW. AND THEN AS WE GET IN EARLY AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY, HERE COMES THAT FRONT WITH A COUPLE STRONG POTENTIALLY 1 OR 2 SEVERE STORMS. THEN LOOK AT THE WEATHER FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY AGAIN SPEEDING UP. EACH RUN GETS QUICKER AND QUICKER. WE’VE TAKEN THE RAIN NOW OUT ON SUNDAY AND THEN WE MAY HAVE A FEW MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THERE’S THE AREA NOW OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING HERE IN TEXAS. THIS WILL STREAM EASTWARD. NOW, AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TODAY, OUT AHEAD OF THAT FRONT NORTH OF I-10, SOME MOISTURE IS KIND OF SQUEEZED OUT IN FROM THE NORTH. IT IS VENTURED IN TOWARDS ORMOND BEACH AND NOW SOON TO BE DAYTONA BEACH. SO THAT CAMERA IS GOING TO BE FUN TO WATCH HERE AS THE RAIN PICKS ON UP AND THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS BUILD IN TOWARDS THE EAST SOUTHEAST. LOOK AT THAT HEAVY RAIN NOW. ORMOND BEACH AS A RAINFALL RATE CLOSE TO FOUR INCHES PER HOUR. SO DAYTONA BEACH THIS IS BUILDING SOUTH AND EAST. IT SHOULD CLICK YOU AND DAYTONA BEACH SHORES AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT 15 TO 20 MINUTES. THEN WE’LL MOVE OFF SHORE AND THE QUESTION BECOMES, WILL THERE BE SOME REDEVELOPMENT MODELS HERE ARE HINTING AT THAT UP THERE IN FLAGLER COUNTY, THOUGH, FOR THE CORPORATE FIVE K IN DOWNTOWN ORLANDO, WE’RE GOING TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S, PROBABLY A BIT TOO WARM FOR MANY OF THE RUNNERS LIKING, BUT AT LEAST THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE NORTH OF THE RACE TRACK THERE TONIGHT IN DOWNTOWN ORLANDO. 70 OUT THE DOOR IN DAYTONA BEACH TOMORROW. IMPACT WEATHER KICKS IN. NOT TOMORROW. SATURDAY. WE’LL CALL IT EARLY AFTERNOON THROUGH. RIGHT ABOUT VERY EARLY ON SUNDAY. HERE’S A LOOK AT FUTURECAST HERE. GUSTY WINDS AND DRY. TOMORROW WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH THE FIRE CONCERNS HERE VERY CAREFULLY. AND THEN AS WE GET YOU ON INTO SATURDAY MORNING IT COMES A LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OFF TOWARDS THE EAST SOUTHEAST AND THEN MOVE INTO THE METRO AREAS, PROBABLY CLOSE TO ABOUT EIGHT, 9:00 IN THE EVENING, VERY, VERY QUICKLY ON THE BACK SIDE OF IT. NOW CHECK THIS OUT. WE ARE DRYING OUT, WE’RE TURNING BREEZY AND COOLER. WE’RE GOING FROM THE 90S ON SATURDAY TO THE 70S HERE ON SUNDAY. SO THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE UP NORTH. AND AS THE FRONT REDEVELOPS DURING THE AFTERNOON, WE MAY GET SOME ENHANCEMENT THERE. SO THE GREATEST RISK FOR AN ISOLATED, STRONG OR SEVERE STORM IS JUST NORTH OF ORLANDO, BACK UP TOWARDS PALM COAST. LOOK AT THE TEMPERATURES TOMORROW, UPPER 80S LOW 90S WITH AN OFFSHORE FLOW OF AIR. THAT MEANS THE HEAT RISK IS GOING TO BE ON THE MODERATE SIDE THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. FIRE RISK TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE THE GREATEST. THE NEXT FOUR DAYS GOING DOWN AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, AS THIS FRONT BEGINS TO MOVE ON IN FROM THE NORTHWEST, TOWARDS THE SOUTH AND THE EAST, WE LOOK AT THE EUROPEAN AND THE GFS MODELS. THEY’RE INDICATING MORE RAIN UP TO THE NORTH AND DOWN TO THE SOUTH. BUT THE BIGGER STORY IS GOING TO BE THE DROP OFF IN THE TEMPERATURES. EURO HAS A LOT OF RAIN UP NORTH EASTERN RAIN THROUGH THE INTERIOR. GFS HAS THE HEAVIER AMOUNTS OF RAIN DOWN ACROSS THE SOUTH AS THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS GET GOING MID AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY. PERFECT WEATHER TO START THE
