THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. OKAY. LET\u2019S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS MORNING. IT\u2019S CHILLY. IT\u2019S HAPPENED BEFORE. THAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE LIKE YESTERDAY. STOP HAPPENING. WE\u2019VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE. SO THE WIND CHILLS ARE A THING, BUT WE\u2019RE ALREADY LOOKING AHEAD TO SOME NICE CHANGES. SO FIRST OFF, BACK TO WORK AND BACK TO SCHOOL. MORNING BUS STOP IS GOING TO BE COLD IMPACT. WHETHER YOU WANT TO HAVE THE JACKET HANDY. OKAY THEN INTO THE AFTERNOON MILDER. I MEAN I DON\u2019T KNOW THAT I\u2019D SAY 65 WAS MILD BUT MILDER TEMPERATURES. WE\u2019RE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. BUT LOOK AT HOW MICROCLIMATES PLAY OUT IN VOLUSIA COUNTY, FOR EXAMPLE. WE\u2019RE IN THE 40S FROM PONCE INLET OVER TO BEACH SAFETY AND DAYTONA BEACH. LOOK AT SAMUEL AT 31. LOOK AT DELAND, DOWNTOWN DELAND AT 29 DEGREES. IT\u2019S 29. IN DELEON SPRINGS, 28 IN ASTOR. YOU GET INLAND AND OH, DOES THAT TEMPERATURE DROP LIKE A ROCK? 50 DEGREES AT PATRICK, 49, PORT CANAVERAL, 40. PORT SAINT JOHN 39. HERE IN MIMS, SEMINOLE COUNTY. IT\u2019S 39 IN GENEVA, 33 IN CASSELBERRY, 32 DEGREES ALTAMONTE SPRINGS AND INTO ORANGE COUNTY, SITTING AT 41 UCF, 44 ON I-DRIVE AND 41 IN WINDERMERE. SO IT\u2019S A COLD START AREA WIDE. WE\u2019VE GOT COLDER POCKETS, OF COURSE, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA. 38 IN OCALA, 33 IN WILDWOOD AND 40 DEGREES IN CLERMONT. THEN YOU WORK IN A BREEZE OF ABOUT 3 TO 8 MILES AN HOUR ON AVERAGE, AND THERE\u2019S JUST THAT LITTLE EXTRA BITE. SO YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUNDLE UP THIS MORNING. BUT WATCHING THOSE TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE DAY, THEY\u2019LL CLIMB BEAUTIFULLY 57 BY 11:00, 62 DEGREES BY 1:00 AND 65 WILL BE OUR HIGH TEMPERATURE ON THE DAY, AT LEAST IN ORLANDO. AVERAGE HIGH 72. SO WE\u2019RE RUNNING BELOW AVERAGE, BUT WE\u2019RE CREEPING BACK IN THAT DIRECTION. YEAH, 62 DEGREES IN OCALA, 60 IN DAYTONA BEACH AND NEARLY 70 IN MELBOURNE. SO FOR TODAY, CHILLY START, BUT A COMFORTABLE FINISH THE REST OF THE WEEK. WE WATCH TEMPERATURES WARM. AND THEN THIS WEEKEND SHOWERS, WARM TEMPERATURES AND OUR NEXT COLD FRONT MOVING IN FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY. LOOK AT THESE HIGHS 80 DEGREES ON FRIDAY, 81 ON SATURDAY AND 80 DEGREES ON SUNDAY. MODELS ARE SHOWING MONDAY TUESDAY. OUR NEXT FRONT WILL WORK INTO THE AREA. SO LET\u2019S PUT IT ALL TOGETHER. IMPACT WEATHER THIS MORNING. BECAUSE OF THE CHILL, IT WILL BE MUCH BETTER THIS AFTERNOON AT 6570 FOR OUR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY A FEW SPRINKLES. WE HIT 80 DEGREES THIS WEEKEND. SHOWERS 80 AND THEN INTO MONDAY. RAIN AS THAT NEXT FRONT CLEARS THE AREA, WE\u2019LL ADD IN A FEW ADDITIONAL SHOWERS FOR OUR COASTAL SEVEN DAY FORECAST. OTHERWISE, THINGS ARE JUST ABOUT AS NICE.
