SHED. IT’S A WIN WIN, RIGHT? LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FORECAST. ARE WE WINNING WITH THESE? WITH THE CHANCES OF RAIN, LOWER CHANCES. HOW ARE WE LOOKING? I THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE OKAY. AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE A LOT OF THE SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES THERE LATER ON IN THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. SO I THINK WE’RE WINNING. WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING SOME HEAT. IT’S GOING TO BE HELPING THE DROUGHT. SO YEAH, AS WE HEAD INTO WET SEASON, THAT’S CERTAINLY WHAT WE’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. CHRISTINA TAKE A LOOK AT THE UPPER 80S. AND FOR MANY OF US, LOW 90S FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, THE ORLANDO METRO WILL BE LOOKING AT LOW 90S THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY, BUT STILL CONSISTENT SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES. FOR THE MOST PART, WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THAT THREAT THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE FORECAST FOR TODAY. YOU SEE THAT WE BEGIN TO SEE THE INCREASE FOR SOME STORMS. THEY’RE GOING TO BE FURTHER INLAND. THOSE ARE GOING TO BE AFTER 2 P.M. BUT I’D SAY FOR MANY OF US, 5:06 P.M., WE’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A LARGE COVERAGE AREA. SO IF YOU DO WANT TO SPEND SOME TIME POTENTIALLY AT THE ATTRACTIONS, WE’LL SEE SOME CLOUDS BUILDING. SO WE’LL TRY TO FEEL A LITTLE BIT COOLER, BUT STILL MID TO UPPER 80S AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT TODAY. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE SETUP. WE STILL HAVE HIGH PRESSURE UP A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH AND EAST. BUT THEN AS WE SEE MORE OF THIS EASTERLY FLOW, YOU’RE PROBABLY GOING TO WANT TO AVOID THE BEACH OR AT LEAST GOING INTO THE WATER BECAUSE THIS ONSHORE FLOW CREATES A LARGER RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS. AS WE HEAD TOWARDS TOMORROW, WE’RE NOT GOING TO BE LOOKING AT WIDESPREAD RAIN, BUT THE PATTERN DOES INDICATE WE WILL BE LOOKING AT SOME MORE SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES WITH A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ALREADY TO THE LOW 7073 IN ORLANDO, 75 IN KISSIMMEE, 77 IN MELBOURNE. IT’S A LOT WARMER, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS PALM BAY THIS MORNING. SATELLITE AND RADAR IS MOSTLY CLEAR, BUT WE SEE SOME CLOUDS MOVING. AND THEN WE HAD A COUPLE SHOWERS THAT WERE MOVING IN TOWARDS COCOA BEACH. SATELLITE BEACH AND MELBOURNE. BUT FOR THE MOST PART THEY HAVE ALL MOVED OUT. THE 12 HOUR FORECAST DOES HAVE US MOVING INTO THOSE UPPER 80S AND EVENTUALLY WILL COOL DOWN AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE AFTERNOON. 89 TOWARDS AREAS OF SANFORD, 90 IN KISSIMMEE, 89 IN ORLANDO, BUT 93 IN WILDWOOD. WE SEE A LOT MORE OF THAT WARMTH. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE FURTHER INLAND. HERE’S A LOOK AT THAT RIP CURRENT RISK. IT’S NOT ONLY FOR TODAY, BUT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. AS LONG AS WE SEE MORE OF THE EASTERLY FLOW WITH SOME OF THE WINDS. THAT’S WHY WE HAVE SOME OF THE CONCERNS. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND, ESPECIALLY AS WE APPROACH MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF THAT WOULD BE EXTENDED, BUT WE’LL KEEP YOU CLOSELY INFORMED HERE AT WESH TWO. HERE’S A LOOK AT FUTURECAST. SEE THE CLOUDS BUILDING IN FROM THE SOUTH AND THE WEST. AND THEN EVENTUALLY WE SEE A COUPLE MORE OF SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH. THEY BEGIN AROUND THE 5:00 HOUR, BUT YOU CAN NOTICE THE COASTLINE IS GOING TO BE MOSTLY CLEAR. I’D BE SHOCKED IF WE SEE ANY CONSISTENT DOWNPOURS CLOSER TO THE PALM COAST OR TITUSVILLE. YOU SEE, THEY’RE ALL GOING TO BE FURTHER INLAND. WE’LL SEE A SIMILAR SITUATION TOMORROW, BUT SLIGHTLY A LITTLE MORE WIDESPREAD AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE AFTERNOON, THE SHOWERS AND STORMS DISSIPATE A LITTLE CLOSER TO MIDNIGHT. ALL RIGHT, HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE SEVEN DAY FORECAST ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. WE ARE CONTINUING WITH THE WARMTH, BUT YOU SEE THE SHOWERS AND STORM CHANCES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
