Impact Weather: A cold New Year’s Day in Central Florida; warmup on the way
LIKE WE’RE DOING THIS, RIGHT? YEAH. SO, OKAY. THE RADAR IS QUIET. THANKFULLY, THIS MORNING, THOUGH, WE DO HAVE ONE BIG THING THAT WE’RE MONITORING, AND THAT’S THE THREAT FOR FROST. THAT’S WHY IT’S IMPACT WEATHER OUT THE DOOR. IT IS COLD, COLD, COLD AGAIN. BUT THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WE WATCH THE TEMPERATURES WARM AND THEN LOOKING AHEAD TO SATURDAY AFTERNOON EVENING. THERE’S EVEN THE CHANCE OF SOME RAIN. WE’LL GET TO ALL OF THAT IN A MINUTE. I’VE GOT TO GET YOU OUT THE DOOR FIRST, THOUGH, BECAUSE LOOK HERE IN VOLUSIA COUNTY, WEST VOLUSIA, 30 DEGREES IN DELAY ON SPRINGS. IT IS COLD, COLD THERE. 36 IN VICTORIA GARDENS, 32 AT THE SPRUCE CREEK FLY-IN. IT’S 41, THOUGH, RIGHT ON PONCE INLET AROUND SEMINOLE COUNTY. 36 IN CASSELBERRY AND ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, 33 ASTOR FARMS WAKING UP TO 37 DEGREES OVER AT THE SANFORD AIRPORT. IT’S 38 IN TITUSVILLE, 39 IN NORTH MELBOURNE. BUT YOU GET OVER TO THE BEACH SIDE OUT ON THE BARRIER ISLAND, 45 AT THE PORT, 46 OVER AT PATRICK. WIDE PERSPECTIVE SHOWING 39 IN ORLANDO. BUT LOOK AT OCALA. YOU ARE SITTING IN THAT HARD FREEZE TERRITORY NOW ONCE AGAIN AT 28 DEGREES. SO IT’S A GORGEOUS CLEAR SKY. IT IS A VERY COLD MORNING, BUT I WANT YOU TO NOTICE ON OUR DAY PLANNER FORECAST HOW TEMPERATURES CLIMB BEAUTIFULLY. 50 7:11 A.M., 1 P.M. 62. AND WE’LL TOP OFF AT 65 DEGREES. IT’S GOING TO BE AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS DAY FOR US. TEMPERATURES NOT QUITE TO THE AVERAGE. THE AVERAGE IS 72, BUT AT LEAST WE’RE GETTING THERE WITH READINGS BACK INTO THE MID 60S. SO HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN THESE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS THAT’S GOING TO BRING IN WARMER AIR FOR US. AND THEN THERE’S A WEAK COLD FRONT THAT’S GOING TO TRY AND SNEAK IN SOME SHOWERS COME THIS WEEKEND. FOR NOW, FUTURECAST SAYS LUNCHTIME SATURDAY, A FEW SHOWERS OUT BY I-75 AND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THERE MAY BE A FEW SHOWERS PASSING THROUGH, BUT THE OVERALL RAIN COVERAGE INCREASES SATURDAY LATE INTO OVERNIGHT EARLY SUNDAY. SO FOR THE MOST PART, WE’RE ACTUALLY LOOKING GOOD. WE’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DODGE MOST OF THE RAIN, BUT I AT LEAST NEED TO PUT THAT 30% COVERAGE IN THERE FOR SATURDAY. IN THE MEANTIME, FOR TODAY, IT’S IMPACT WEATHER THIS MORNING, BUT IT’S A BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON TOMORROW. MORE CLOUDS, BUT IT’S A MILDER FORECAST. KEEPING WITH THAT MILDER STRETCH WILL DROP OFF A LITTLE BIT WITH THAT WEAK FRONT ON SUNDAY. AND THEN NOTICE MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY. THOSE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO CLIMB. COASTAL SEVEN DAY FORECAST WILL ACTUALLY LEAVE COASTAL SHOWERS IN ALL NEXT WEEK, SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE CONTINUE TO WARM THOUGH THE QUESTION BEGINS WHEN WILL THE NEXT COL
