Beautiful day across central Florida as heat builds to end April
Track the warmth ahead with meteorologist Victoria Wisniewski
LET’S BRING IN FIRST WARNING METEOROLOGIST VICTORIA WISNIEWSKI. VICTORIA THE PUERTO RICAN PARADE STARTS AT 11:00. YEAH, IT’S GOING TO BE GREAT WEATHER, ESPECIALLY TO START THE PARADE. AND THEN EVEN AS THE CELEBRATIONS CONTINUE LATER ON THROUGHOUT THE DAY, WE COULD SEE A COUPLE LIGHT SHOWERS, BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO BE HAVING A LOT OF COVERAGE WITH RAIN THROUGHOUT TODAY. TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE HIGHER, BUT YOU’LL NOTICE TEMPERATURES ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST STORY. WE’RE LOOKING AT MID TO UPPER 80S ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. AND THEN AS WE HEAD LATER THROUGHOUT THE DAY, IT’S OVERALL GOING TO BE A MILD EVENING AS TEMPERATURES DROP. AND THEN BY TOMORROW WE’LL ACTUALLY LOOK AT A HIGHER RAIN CHANCE ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. THE MORNING ONCE AGAIN STARTING OUT REALLY DRY. BUT BY THE AFTERNOON THERE’S THAT RAIN CHANCE BEGINNING TO INCREASE ONCE AGAIN. NOW WE COULD SEE A COUPLE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS, BUT NOTHING IS GOING TO BE ON THE SEVERE SIDE. AS WE HEAD TOWARDS MONDAY. THAT’S BASICALLY THE END OF THE RAIN. SIMILAR SITUATION, THE AFTERNOON SHOWERS. YOU KNOW WET SEASON IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. TAKING A LOOK AT SOME OF THE SURFACE MAP OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, YOU SEE THE INCREASING MOISTURE AS WE HEAD TOWARDS TOMORROW, BRINGING THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND REALLY SETTING US UP FOR THE WARM WEEK AHEAD. HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE SEVEN DAY FORECAST ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. AND THEN YOU SEE RAIN CHANCES DROP AND THE HEAT ARRIVES. SO WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING DRIER AIR THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERE. AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT SOME 90 DEGREE DAYS BY WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. AND THEN IF YOU DO FIND YOURSELF FURTHER INLAND, MAYBE BY TUESDAY, YOU’RE ALREADY GOING TO BE SEEING THE UPPER 80S AND THE 90S, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS OCALA, MAYBE WILDWOOD WINTER GARDEN. THAT’S WHERE A LOT OF THAT WARMTH IS GOING TO BE HITTING THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK. HERE’S A BEAUTIFUL LIVE LOOK AT NEW SMYRNA THIS MORNING. BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE AHEAD. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THESE CONDITIONS ALONG THE COASTLINE ALREADY IN THE MID 60S 65 TOWARDS SANFORD. BUT OCALA AT 59 DEGREES. SO A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE AND LESS HUMID FURTHER INLAND. AND NOW YOU NOTICE NEW SMYRNA. IT’S LOOKING GORGEOUS. BUT WE DO STILL HAVE THE MODERATE RIP CURRENT RISK AROUND ALONG THE COASTLINE. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THAT’S WHERE WE SEE MORE OF THAT EASTERLY FLOW, WHICH MEANS THE WINDS ARE COMING OUT OF THE EAST, WHICH ARE GOING TO INCREASE THE RIP CURRENT RISK ACROSS THE COASTLINE. SO WE ARE WARMING UP, BUT THAT CERTAINLY MEANS YOU WANT TO OPT FOR THE BEACH OR EXCUSE ME FOR THE POOL, BECAUSE YOU DON’T REALLY WANT TO BE STEPPING IN THE WATER. TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR SATELLITE AND RADAR, YOU’LL NOTICE THAT WE HAVE LESS CLOUDS AROUND TODAY, BUT THEY WILL RETURN AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE AFTERNOON. 89 TOWARDS THE VILLAGE LATER TODAY AND 88 IN ORLANDO. PERFECT FOR THE MAGIC GAME. MAYBE THE PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADE. BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE NEAR AREAS OF DAYTONA BEACH WEEK IS STILL OCCURRING. SO WE’RE GOING TO HAVE GORGEOUS CONDITIONS FOR THAT. BUT WE COULD STILL SEE SOME OF THOSE RAIN CHANCES. SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE DOING THAT LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, THAT’S WHERE YOU MAY NEED TO STAY IN THE JEEP. TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR HOUR BY HOUR PLANNER. TEMPERATURES ON THE RISE. BUT HERE’S A LOOK AT THE WINDS AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT TODAY. THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BE VERY SIGNIFICANT. COULD SEE GUSTS UPWARDS OF 20MPH. BUT THEN HERE ARE SOME OF THE SHOWERS BEGINNING TO POPULATE FROM THE WEST, MOVING TOWARDS THE EAST. YOU’LL SEE MORE OF THAT SHOWER COVERAGE, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COASTLINE. AND THEN THEY’LL BEGIN TO DISSIPATE AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE EVENING AND THE OVERNIGHT TOMORROW STARTS OUT NICE AND DRY, BUT WE’LL BE TRACKING MORE OF THAT RAIN THREAT AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE AFTERNOON HOURS. AND THEN THEY DROP AS WE GET TOWARDS MONDAY, AND THEN THE REST OF THE WEEK WE ARE JUST HEATING UP. THE COASTLINE COMES IN A LITTLE BI
