Showers, storms expected in Central Florida today

THINGS. YEAH, LOOK AT US GROWING UP. SO YEAH, LOVE THAT SO MUCH. YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE WENT UP THOUGH? THE TEMPERATURES LIKE I LOOKED AT MY WATCH BECAUSE IT’S GOT WEATHER DATA BECAUSE I’M A NERD. RIGHT. AND YESTERDAY I SAW 97 DEGREES AND I WAS LIKE, OH NO, OH NO, NO, NO, LOOK AT THAT. SANFORD HIT 97, DAYTONA BEACH HIT 97. THOSE WERE OBVIOUSLY RECORD HIGHS. WE HIT A RECORD HIGH YESTERDAY IN MELBOURNE. WE DID A RECORD IN LEESBURG. EVERY SINGLE SPOT GOT INTO THE NO. HOT TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW AND MID 90S AND EVEN SOME UPPER 90S. NOW, LOOKING AHEAD TO THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST, WE’VE GOT THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSHOWERS IN THERE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. 40% COVERAGE TODAY. IT’S THE RAIN CHANCE. THAT KIND OF HELPS TO PUSH THE TEMPERATURES DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN THERE’S SOMETHING INTERESTING THAT HAPPENS HERE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. SO LET’S JUST KIND OF LOOK AT THINGS. WE’LL START WITH TODAY A BEAUTIFUL START. WE HIT 87 BY LUNCHTIME, 93 DEGREES OUR HIGH. AND THEN WE HIT THE PEAK HEAT. THEN WE GET THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSHOWERS GOING. IT’S GOING TO BE MORE OF A DINNERTIME TYPE EVENT. HIGHEST COVERAGE OF RAIN IS GOING TO BE FROM THE ORLANDO METRO UP TO THE NORTH. WATCH FUTURECAST A FEW SPRINKLES EARLY THIS MORNING THROUGH ABOUT LUNCHTIME AND THEN INTO THE AFTERNOON. WHILE WE’VE GOT THE MOISTURE AROUND SAINT AUGUSTINE AND FLAGLER VOLUSIA, WE START UP WITH OUR STORMS AROUND SIX, SEVEN, 8:00, AND IT’S GOING TO BE AROUND THAT TIME FRAME THAT WE GET THE HIGHEST COVERAGE OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA. EVENTUALLY, EVERYTHING TRIES TO WORK OFF TOWARD THE EAST. THAT SAID, THOUGH, THERE’S JUST ENOUGH ENERGY IN PLAY THAT FOR TODAY. NORTH FLORIDA INTO OUR AREA HAS A LOW END, ISOLATED RISK FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. AND THEN FOR TOMORROW, SUNDAY, IT’S MORE OF A NORTH FLORIDA TYPE THING, BUT WE COULD GET A COUPLE OF FEISTIER STORMS, ESPECIALLY THE FURTHER NORTH YOU LIVE TODAY. 40% COVERAGE OF RAIN THROUGH THE WEEKEND, 3,040% COVERAGE. BUT MONDAY, THINGS GET A LITTLE INTERESTING. ALL RIGHT, WATCH LONG RANGE FUTURECAST. HERE’S SATURDAY 7:00. LOOKING GOOD INTO THE AFTERNOON. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSHOWERS. SUNDAY MORNING. A SPRINKLE OR TWO AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSHOWERS. BUT BY MONDAY WE’LL START QUIET. IT GETS WET FROM ABOUT LUNCHTIME THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AND THAT IS A VERY, VERY BIG SWATH OF RAIN THAT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH OUR AREA. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. THE WET SEASON THOUGH, STARTS USUALLY LATE MAY WHEN THE COLD FRONTS STOP, AND THAT STORM OPPORTUNITY COMING ON MONDAY IS A VERY WEAK FRONT MOVING THROUGH. SO FOR THE WEEKEND, JUST KNOW IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT TO THE WELCOME TO ROCKVILLE FESTIVAL. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S, LOWER 90S IN THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSHOWERS ROLLING LOUD. IT’S GOING TO BE HOTTER BECAUSE IT’S INLAND, LOW TO MID 90S. AND YEAH, IT’S GOING TO BE THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE TO TRACK ORLANDO LOOKING FANTASTIC THIS MORNING. TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S. WE’RE ON OUR WAY TO 93 WITH HIGHS CL
