Warm, wet weekend before cool front moves into Central Florida next week
WINTER, SUMMER AND SPRING, CAN MAKE THAT PROBLEM EVEN WORSE. LET’S GIVE YOU A LIVE LOOK RIGHT NOW THROUGH OUR TOWER CAMERA AT NEW SMYRNA BEACH THIS AFTERNOON. AS YOU CAN SEE, POLICE ARE EXPECTING LARGE CROWDS THAT ARE CLEARLY THERE FOR SPRING BREAK. OFFICERS SAY THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU STAY SAFE WHILE ALSO HAVING FUN. THAT INCLUDES ZERO TOLERANCE FOR UNDERAGE DRINKING, PUBLIC INTOXICATION AND OPEN CONTAINERS IN AREAS WHERE THEY ARE BANNED. WELL, THESE FOLKS REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO HERE BECAUSE WE KNOW RAIN IS GOING TO BE MOVING THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. THEY’RE GETTING IN ALL THAT BEACH TIME WHILE THEY CAN. YEAH, THAT’S OUR CAM SEAN TUCKER A LOT DIFFERENT TOMORROW, RIGHT? A LOT LESS PEOPLE ON THE BEACH. RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE MOVING IN. WE’LL HAVE A SIMILAR PICTURE ON SUNDAY AS WELL. SO ALMOST A TWO DAY EXPERIENCE IN WHICH WE’LL BE TRYING OUR BEST TO DODGE THE SHOWERS HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. BUT RIGHT NOW, AS WE HEAD OUT TO THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS BEACH HERE IN DAYTONA, BARELY A CLOUD IN SIGHT, THE SKY JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AND BLUE AS THE WATER TEMPERATURES, THOUGH A LITTLE BIT COOLER THAN WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY, STILL HOVERING AROUND 75 DEGREES ALL ACROSS VOLUSIA COUNTY. AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY FURTHER WEST, THAT’S WHERE WE’RE A TOUCH WARMER, RIGHT? 79 IN OCALA, THE VILLAGES 81 DEGREES. QUITE THE OPPOSITE FROM WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY, ACTUALLY, IT WAS OUR NORTHERNMOST COMMUNITIES, TRENDING COOL, SOUTHERNMOST COMMUNITIES TRENDING WARM, ALMOST A SPLIT RIGHT ACROSS THE I-4 CORRIDOR, ACTING AS THE DIVIDING TEMPERATURE OUTLIER HERE, IN WHICH UP TOWARDS THE NORTH, YOU’RE SIGNIFICANTLY WARMER THAN YOU WERE AT THIS POINT IN TIME YESTERDAY. AND THAT’S BECAUSE WE SAW A COLD FRONT PASS BY DURING THE AFTERNOON. SO NOW AS YOU’RE IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S, WE’RE TRENDING ABOUT 10 TO 15 DEGREES WARMER THAN YOU WERE 24 HOURS AGO. ALSO DOWN SOUTH IS WHERE WE HAVE OUR BETTER CHANCE FOR SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION. LIGHT RAIN MOVING ACROSS COCOA BEACH SATELLITE AND MELBOURNE COURTESY OF THAT EAST COAST FLOW. WE ALSO HAVE A STATIONARY BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTH, KEEPING THE MOISTURE LEVELS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER ACROSS THE TURNPIKE. EVEN IN CANNONVILLE, WINTER HAVEN, BARTOW, POLK CITY. YOU GUYS ARE SEEING THESE SHOWERS TRAIN IN FROM THE SOUTH AND THE EAST AS WELL. YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST FOR DAYTONA BEACH DOES SHOW THAT SUNSHINE STICKING AROUND THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. IT’S OVERNIGHT. THE CLOUDS START TO BUILD. AND THEN TOMORROW WE’LL SEE THAT CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS COMING YOUR WAY. AS FOR TONIGHT THOUGH, HERE’S A LOOK AT THOSE CLOUDS LOOKING TO FILTER OUT OF THE PICTURE AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING. BUT THE RESURGENCE OF CLOUDS IS BACK OVERNIGHT WITH A SMALL CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS STILL TO OUR SOUTH. ULTIMATELY THOUGH, MOST OF US DO STAY DRY AS WE FINISH OFF YOUR WORKWEEK TODAY, RAIN CHANCES REALLY ELEVATE THOUGH AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY, SUNDAY, AND MONDAY. STILL TO COME, A 70% COVERAGE OF SHOWERS ON MONDAY COULD LEAVE SOME WITH OVER AN INCH TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN BEFORE WE HEAD INTO TUESDAY. COMING UP. DAY PLANNER FOR TOMORROW THOUGH, HAS THOSE SHOWERS RETURNING AS WE MOVE ACROSS YOUR AFTERNOON. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT WHAT TO EXPECT ON SATURDAY. WE START OFF THE DAY WITH A COUPLE SHOWERS ACROSS THE I-4 CORRIDOR, A SOUTHERLY INFLUENCE, SO WE’LL SEE THOSE SHOWERS CONTINUE TO FUNNEL IN FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TOMORROW AS TEMPERATURES RETURN TO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S. BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IS GOING TO BE AFTERNOON THREATENED WITH THE WARMER TEMPERATURES IN STORE FOR US ON SATURDAY, WE COULD SEE A STRONGER STORM OR TWO. ULTIMATELY THOUGH, AS WE MOVE ACROSS YOUR SATURDAY NIGHT, LOOKS LIKE THE RAIN IS COMING TO AN END BY 8:00 9:00, AND WHAT WE’RE LEFT WITH IS A WARM WEEKEND THAT LIES IN FRONT OF US. EVEN SUNDAY WILL BE A TOUCH WARMER. HERE’S THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT LIFTING FROM THE SOUTH. BUT ALL THAT LIFT ADDS TO THE DEEP MOISTURE BUILDING. THEREFORE, ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, TEMPERATURES WITH THAT SOUTHERLY INFLUENCE ARE BACK IN THE MID 80S COMING UP. COOLER WEATHER, THOUGH, LIES AHEAD OF US AS WE MOVE INTO THE WORKWEEK, WITH OUR NEXT COLD FRONT MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. AS FAR AS RAINFALL IS CONCERNED, THE EUROPEAN MODEL A LITTLE BIT HEAVIER, BUT BOTH PLACE HEAVIER SHOWERS ACROSS THE I-95 CORRIDOR COULD BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1 AND 3IN STACKING UP AND THEN TEMPERATURES SHIFT DRASTICALLY HEADING INTO TUESDAY AS WE SEE THAT COLD FRONT KNOCK US DOWN A FEW PEGS FROM THE LOWER 80S MONDAY TO THE LOWER 60S TUESDAY AND THE
