Central Florida’s Severe Weather Threat Ends As Showers And Storms Push Offshore – February 28th Forecast<\/p>\n

Central Florida’s Severe Weather Threat Ends As Showers And Storms Push Offshore – February 28th Forecast<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWITH THE FULL FLEET UP AND RUNNING BY THE END OF MAY. ALL RIGHT. LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. WE HAD A FEW SPRINKLES AND SHOWERS OUT THERE. NOT ENOUGH TO PUT A DENT IN THIS DROUGHT. BUT THE GOOD NEWS, WE GOT SOME WARM TEMPERATURES TO START OFF OUR WORKWEEK. EXACTLY RIGHT. WE HAVE ENOUGH JUST TO START OFF THE SOGGY WEATHER PATTERN RIGHT NOW. THESE FRONTS THAT WHEN THEY PUSH TOWARDS THE SOUTH, OFTENTIMES THEY\u2019RE GOING TO STALL OUT IN MARCH AND MAY AS WE GET READY FOR THE SPRING SEASON. WHAT THAT MEANS MORE RAIN FOR US HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. SO IT IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. OVERALL, WE\u2019RE STILL TRENDING DRY. WE CAN\u2019T MAKE UP SUCH A LARGE DEFICIT IN ONE DAY, BUT IT WAS NICE TO SEE SOME SHOWERS AS YOUR WORKWEEK CAME TO A CLOSE AND TO START OFF THE WEEKEND AS WELL. SO HERE\u2019S THE CULPRIT BEHIND THE RAIN. THIS STATIONARY BOUNDARY SLOWLY INCHING ITS WAY FURTHER SOUTH. WE\u2019RE STILL DEALING WITH A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS, BUT THE BIGGER TAKEAWAY IS HOW COOL THE TEMPERATURES ARE IN COMPARISON TO YESTERDAY AND PREVIOUSLY IN THE WORKWEEK, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST. TAKE A LOOK AT TITUSVILLE, DAYTONA BEACH. THAT DEFICIT ANYWHERE BETWEEN 9 TO 11 DEGREES COURTESY OF THE COLD FRONT, THE RAIN AND A COMBINATION OF THE CLOUDS OVERHEAD. ULTIMATELY, AS YOU LOOK ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA, NONE OF US ARE IN THE 70S RIGHT NOW. WE\u2019VE GOT A MIX OF 60S AND 50S. IF YOU\u2019RE IN PALM COAST, 57 DEGREES RIGHT HERE ACROSS THE I-4 CORRIDOR IN ORLANDO, YOU GET A COUPLE SPOTS OF BLUE BEFORE SUNSET, BUT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ARE WHAT YOU\u2019RE SPORTING. WITH TEMPERATURES NOW AT 68 DEGREES. SO WE\u2019RE WATCHING THE RAIN COME TO AN END. BUT IT\u2019S THE RETURN OF THE 80S TO START OFF THE WORK WEEK. AND IF YOU\u2019RE A FAN OF THE HEAT LIKE MYSELF, IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A FORECAST. YOU WILL DEFINITELY ENJOY TAKING A LOOK AT OUR LIVE RADAR. NOT TOO MUCH RAINFALL IN COMPARISON TO WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY. STILL A COUPLE OF SHOWERS IN POLK COUNTY OUT TOWARDS WINTER HAVEN. WE\u2019RE WATCHING THESE PROGRESS SLOWLY OFF TOWARDS THE EAST. BARTOW, LAKE WALES. YOU GUYS ARE IN THE THICK OF THE RAIN RIGHT NOW. YEEHAW JUNCTION IN OSCEOLA COUNTY, ACROSS THE TURNPIKE. THESE SHOWERS ARE PUSHING TOWARDS THE EAST AS WELL AND MUCH FURTHER SOUTH. THIS IS WHERE WE DO HAVE A STRONG STORM IN MARTIN COUNTY THAT\u2019S GOING TO PUSH TOWARDS JUPITER PALM BEACH GARDENS AS WELL. AND WITH THIS, WE DID SEE WIND SPEEDS UP TO 50MPH. THAT\u2019S WELL TO OUR SOUTH. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE\u2019RE WRAPPING UP THE RAIN COMING UP IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS OR SO FOR CENTRAL FLORIDA IN ORLANDO. NO RAIN SHOWERS TONIGHT, JUST MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. EVENTUALLY, TEMPERATURES FALL INTO THE UPPER 50S. TO START OFF YOUR MORNING TOMORROW AND SO FAR WE HAVE NOT QUITE MADE IT BACK TO OUR 2025 ACCUMULATIONS FOR RAINFALL. I KNOW WE DID SEE SOME RAIN YESTERDAY AND TODAY, BUT WE\u2019RE STILL PRETTY MUCH HALF AS HIGH AS WE WERE AT THIS POINT IN TIME LAST YEAR IN ORLANDO, WITH ONLY 1.28IN OF RAIN COLLECTED SO FAR. SO THE DROUGHT IS DEFINITELY VERY HIGH ACROSS THE I-4 QUARTER. TAKE A LOOK AT DAYTONA BEACH THIS TIME LAST YEAR YOU ALMOST SAW THREE INCHES OF RAIN. RIGHT NOW 1.79 IS WHAT YOU\u2019RE AT. SO HERE\u2019S THE DROUGHT MONITOR. THIS WILL GET UPDATED ON THURSDAY, BUT IF YOU\u2019RE ANYWHERE FROM OCALA THROUGH DAYTONA, PALM COAST, THAT DROUGHT IS SEVERE. SO WE STILL SEE WE STILL NEED A LOT MORE RAIN. NOT MUCH ON TAP FOR US TOMORROW. DRY CONDITIONS WILL BE IN PLACE. TO START OFF YOUR WORK WEEK FOR US. PLANNER DOES SHOW MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES RETURNING BY 12:00, IN WHICH WE\u2019LL BE SUPPORTING THE SUNSHINE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF YOUR SUNDAY. BUT WARMER TEMPERATURES LIE AHEAD AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR LONG RANGE MODELS THROUGHOUT THE WORKWEEK. UPPER 70S TO START YOU OFF, AND THEN WE\u2019LL GRADUALLY RISE. WHAT WE WILL SHOW A COUPLE CHANCES FOR THAT EASTERLY BREEZE TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AS WE MOVE TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE WORKWEEK ON WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. BEFORE WE GET THERE, THOUGH UPPER 70S ON\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
