<\/p>\nCentral Florida to see hottest temps of 2026 this weekend<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTOO MUCH HAPPINESS ON A FRIDAY. I KNOW YOU FEEL IT. ALL RIGHT, LET\u2019S LOOK OUTSIDE, THOUGH, BECAUSE WE\u2019VE GOTE CHANGES MOVING IN. I WANT TO MAKE SURE TO HELP YOU NAVIGATE SO THAT EACH DAY IS AS GOOD AS TODAY. 87 THIS AFTERNOON, IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A TOASTY WARM FRIDAY. WE\u2019LL GET EVEN HOTTER TOMORROW AT 88, THEN A FEW SHOWERS ON SUNDAY, DROPPING THE TEMPERATURES INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AND IT\u2019S GETTING COLD ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. FIRST, LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT THE RAINS THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE IT IS THE WEEKEND. AND I\u2019VE GOT GOOD NEWS. FIRST OFF, THE TIMING HAS SHIFTED. THIS IS 3 A.M. SUNDAY. STARTING TO SEE THOSE SHOWERS MOVING INTO OUR NORTHERN SPOTS. WE\u2019LL PUSH THAT THROUGH THE METRO 7 A.M. AND THEN BY LIKE 10 A.M. IT\u2019S DONE AND OVER WITH. SO WE\u2019RE NOT GOING TO SEE ALL THAT MUCH OF AN IMPACT. AND THEN THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY, THE SKIES ARE GOING TO GO CLEAR AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO HAVE OURSELVES A GREAT DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, WE\u2019RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT MUCH RAIN. A FEW AREAS THAT COULD SEE A QUARTER OF AN INCH OF RAIN OR SO. MOST OF CENTRAL FLORIDA BASICALLY SEEING NOTHING. WHICH MEANS THAT OUR DROUGHT MONITOR WILL CONTINUE TO GET A LITTLE BIT ROUGHER. THIS IS THE NEWEST DROUGHT MONITOR WAS ISSUED YESTERDAY MORNING, STILL UNDER AN EXTREME DROUGHT FOR OUR NORTHERN AREAS. WHEREAS THE METRO IS UNDER A MODERATE DROUGHT. BUT WHEN WE COMPARE THINGS FROM LAST WEEK TO THIS WEEK, WE CAN KIND OF BASICALLY SEE HOW THINGS ARE JUST TRYING TO GET A LITTLE BIT WORSE. BUT WITH THE RAIN, WE WERE ABLE TO HOLD IT OFF. SO THAT\u2019S THE GOOD NEWS. NOW THE SHOWERS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT ON SUNDAY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A COLD FRONT. SO HIGH TEMPERATURE ON SATURDAY IS 88, LOW TEMPERATURE ON MONDAY IS 43. THERE\u2019S THAT DRAMATIC SHIFT OUTSIDE THIS MORNING LOOKING OVER TO SLS LAUNCH COMPLEX 39 B, WHERE HOPEFULLY WE\u2019LL GET ARTEMIS UP HERE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. WOULDN\u2019T THAT BE FUN? TEMPERATURES OUT THE DOOR LOWER 60S IN OCALA, MID 60S FOR US IN ORLANDO. BUS STOP FORECAST LOOKING GREAT THIS MORNING. DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF PATCHY FOG, ESPECIALLY IN OUR WESTERN AREAS TO CONTEND WITH. BUT INTO THE AFTERNOON IT\u2019S FEELING HOT 87 DEGREES. OUR HIGH TEMPERATURE AVERAGE IS 76. WE ARE WAY ABOVE THAT. WE\u2019RE CLOSE TO RECORD, SO I DON\u2019T THINK WE\u2019RE GOING TO GET THERE TODAY. TOMORROW WE MAY GET INTO RECORD HEAT THOUGH. 85 IN OCALA, 85 DEGREES DAYTONA BEACH AND 87 IN PALM BAY. SO IT\u2019S A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE THROUGH THE DAY, LOOKING ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. EVENING DINNER PLANS ARE LOOKING FANTASTIC. THEN THE FOG MAY TRY TO SETTLE IN ONCE AGAIN, ESPECIALLY WEST OF THE METRO THROUGH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. COASTAL SEVEN DAY FORECAST SHOWING THAT CHANCE OF RAIN. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S. THEN THEY DROP OFF OUR INLAND SEVEN DAY FORECAST. VERY MUCH THE SAME IDEA 87 TOD\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
