HIM. TOOK ALL THOSE MINUTES, BUT HE GOT HIM BACK TODAY. HOW EMOTIONAL THAT WAS TO WATCH THAT. GOOD STUFF. ALL RIGHT, LET’S TALK FORECAST TONY. IT IS HOT OUTSIDE. NO OTHER WAY TO SAY IT. YEAH. YOU KNOW, SIX TIME THIS YEAR WE HIT 90 OR BETTER HERE IN DOWNTOWN ORLANDO. WE WEREN’T THE ONLY ONE. LET ME SHOW YOU SOME OF THOSE AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. 92 SANFORD 92 IN DELAND, 93 DOWN IN WINTER HAVEN. OH, FOLKS, WE ARE NOT DONE. WE’VE GOT ANOTHER ONE COMING TOMORROW. REMEMBER, NOW WE AVERAGE ABOUT 105 TO 110 EACH AND EVERY YEAR, ALTHOUGH 1919 WAS A 152. THAT’S THE RECORD. OUTSIDE FOR DOWNTOWN OLD TOWN RIGHT NOW WE’RE STILL SITTING AT 91 HERE, 92 BACK TOWARDS THE VILLAGE. THE EAST BREEZE HAS WORKED IN ALONG THE COAST. WE’RE RUNNING IN THE LOW 80S. I’VE GOT TO TAKE YOU OUT TO COAL CREEK CANYON, COLORADO. WE’RE IN THE 90S. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. THIS IS A SPRING, EARLY MAY SNOWSTORM OUT THERE TO SKI RESORTS. TEMPERATURES RUNNING IN THE UPPER 30S AND LOW 40S SEVERAL FEET OF SNOW FALLING AT THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OUT THERE. WE’LL GET A LITTLE BIT OF A COOLDOWN WITH SOME LATE DAY SHOWERS AND STORMS, ESPECIALLY NORTH AND EAST OF THE LAND. I BELIEVE ON FRIDAY. AND THEN WE’LL WATCH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. I THINK WE’LL GET A BETTER CHANCE FOR SOME AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS OFF. TO WATCH THAT FOR ANY OUTDOOR MOTHER’S DAY PLANS UP NORTH, AND THEN A LITTLE BIT DRIER, A LITTLE BIT COOLER. BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THINGS ARE QUIET HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA AT THIS HOUR. WE STILL HAVE THE ONSHORE FLOW. SO REMEMBER, IF YOU’RE TAKING IT TO THE COAST TOMORROW TO GET SOME RELIEF FROM THE HEAT, SWIM THOSE LIFEGUARD TOWERS. 12 HOUR PLANNER IN ORLANDO. NOT MUCH OF A DROP OFF TONIGHT. ONLY FALLING INTO THE LOWER 70S. WILDWOOD 68 PALM COAST COMING IN AT ABOUT 68. LET ME SHOW YOU FUTURECAST HERE. NOW NOTICE HOW THE WINDS PICK UP TOMORROW. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH THAT HIGH HEAT, GUSTY WINDS, LOW HUMIDITY. THAT COULD BE THE RECIPE FOR SOME ISSUES THERE. WHEN IT COMES TO FIRE CONCERNS. AND THAT’S WHY THAT THREAT IS ELEVATED FOR TOMORROW. NOW ON FRIDAY, NOTICE THE CLOUDS COMING IN. NOTICE THE MOISTURE SNEAKING ON IN. IT WILL BE THE CHANCE FOR A FEW AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS, ESPECIALLY NORTH AND EAST NOW OF DOWNTOWN ORLANDO. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, I THINK THAT COVERAGE WILL SLIP A LITTLE BIT FARTHER TO THE SOUTH. NOW, SOME FOLKS MAY DO PRETTY WELL, ESPECIALLY FROM DAYTONA BEACH TOWARDS MARINELAND AND PALM COAST. IF YOU GET UNDERNEATH ONE OF THOSE HEAVY THUNDERSHOWERS, PRETTY EASY TO GET A QUICK HALF INCH TO AN INCH OF RAIN, IF NOT MORE. LOOK AT THE HEAT, THOUGH. TOMORROW, NO RAIN. AFTERNOON HIGHS. NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. IN THE LOW TO THE 90S, RECORDS THAT COULD FALL TOMORROW. SANFORD LEESBURG DAYTONA BEACH AND ON INTO THE CITY OF MELBOURNE. NOW WE TALK ABOUT THAT FIRE WEATHER WATCH. YOU CAN SEE IT’S HIGH TOMORROW. LEESBURG BACK TOWARDS MELBOURNE. IT IS GOING TO BE RUNNING ON THE MODERATE TO HIGH SIDE ALL ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW. SO IF YOU’RE HEADED TO THE ATTRACTIONS, JUST KNOW THAT THE WEATHER LOOKS DRY AND WARM AND YOU’LL NEED TO STAY HYDRATED. ROCKVILLE WATCHING THE STORMS FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY AFTERNOONS. THOSE AFTERNOON HIGHS RUNNING ABOUT 88 TO ABOUT THE 90 DEGREE MARK. THERE’S THAT FRONT NOW UP TO THE NORTH AND PUSHING NORTHWARD ON SUNDAY, ONLY TO GET A KICK SOUTHWARD AS WE GET BACK INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THAT MEANS THERE WILL BE THE CHANCE FOR SOME COOLING LATE DAY SHOWERS AND STORMS ON MOTHER’S DAY, ESPECIALLY FROM ORLANDO NORTH. SO LET’S PUT IT ALL TOGETHER HERE FOR YOU, MOTHER’S DAY. KEEP HER COOL AS WE GET INTO TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. HERE COMES SOMEWHAT DRIER AND LE
