THE MATCH BEGINS AT SEVEN. FIRST WARNING METEOROLOGIST MARQUISE MEDA HERE. NOW MARQUISE THEY\u2019RE GETTING SOME GOOD WEATHER FOR IT TOO. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING\u2019S KIND OF MOVED OUT JUST IN TIME. IT\u2019S A FABULOUS FINISH TO THE WEEKEND, JESSE. WE HAVE THOSE SHOWERS TO START IT OFF ON SATURDAY. A FEW MORE ALONG THE COAST YESTERDAY, BUT TODAY WE\u2019VE BEEN TRENDING DRY. OUR RADAR PRETTY CLEAR. WE\u2019VE SEEN SUNSHINE STRETCH FROM END TO END, FROM I-75 TO I-95 HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. ALSO, WE\u2019VE GOT SOME WARMER WEATHER HAPPENING THIS WEEK AS WE MOVE THROUGHOUT IT. WE CONTINUE TO RAISE THE BAR HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. UPPER 70S ON MONDAY. IF YOU\u2019RE INLAND, YOU\u2019LL HIT THE 80S BY TUESDAY, AND THEN BY THE TIME THE WORKWEEK COMES TO ITS CLOSE, YOU\u2019RE BACK IN THE MID 80S. SO IT FEELS LIKE DAY AFTER DAY WE\u2019RE ONLY GETTING WARMER AND WARMER. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT YOUR HIGHS FOR TODAY. SOME OF US CAME REALLY CLOSE TO THE 80S. THOSE INCLUDING US RIGHT HERE INSIDE THE CITY. BEAUTIFUL. 79 DEGREES WAS YOUR HIGH IN ORLANDO, 78 IN BITHLO. THE FURTHER SOUTH YOU GO. LOOKS LIKE THE WARMER TEMPERATURES WERE 81. WAS YOUR HIGH TODAY IN WINTER HAVEN? LET\u2019S GET YOU OUT TO ORLANDO RIGHT NOW. YOU\u2019VE COOLED SINCE YOUR MAXIMUM DAYTIME HEATING HOURS. GOT A COUPLE EXTRA CLOUDS IN THE PICTURE AS THE SUN BEGINS TO SET. RIGHT NOW YOU\u2019RE SITTING COMFORTABLY AT 72 DEGREES ELSEWHERE. AS YOU HEAD FURTHER NORTH AND TOWARDS THE EAST. THAT\u2019S WHERE YOU\u2019RE A TOUCH COOLER ACROSS I-95. PALM COAST 61, DAYTONA BEACH 63. AND YOU MATCH THAT IN NEW SMYRNA BEACH CURRENTLY OUT THE DOOR RIGHT NOW. NOT TOO MUCH TO LOOK AT. AND THAT\u2019S A GOOD THING HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, WE SAW A LOT MORE RAIN SHOWERS YESTERDAY. IN FACT YOU\u2019RE STILL DEALING WITH THESE ACROSS SOUTHERN FLORIDA WITH A COLD FRONT MARCH ACROSS OUR SUNSHINE STATE OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND. NOW, THOUGH, IT\u2019S ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY KNOCKING ON OUR FRONT DOORSTEP, MOVING JUST NORTH OF THE I-10 CORRIDOR. IT WON\u2019T GET TO US HERE IN FLORIDA, SO THAT WILL GIVE US TIME FOR THESE TEMPERATURES TO RISE. BUT WE ALSO HAVE A FALCON NINE LAUNCH TAKING PLACE TONIGHT. LAUNCH WINDOW STARTS AT 707. JUST A COUPLE CUMULUS CLOUDS ACROSS THE COAST. SO NOTHING REALLY THAT\u2019S REALLY GOING TO STOP THIS LAUNCH. ULTIMATELY, IT\u2019S A 90% CHANCE THAT WE\u2019LL BE GREEN TO GO. ULTIMATELY, THOUGH, BY MONDAY. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. WE WILL SEE A LOT MORE SUNSHINE IN THE PICTURE AS WE ROLL THROUGHOUT THE WORKWEEK. HIGHS WILL RETURN TO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S. SO WE\u2019LL BE TRENDING DRY AS WE MOVE INTO THE START OF YOUR WORKWEEK TOMORROW. SO 69 TO 81 DEGREES. THAT\u2019S OUR TEMPERATURE SPREAD A LITTLE BIT COOLER AS YOU MOVE ACROSS FLAGLER COUNTY, LIKELY IN PALM COAST. THAT\u2019S WHERE WE HAVE THE UPPER 60S. BREEZY TO START THINGS OFF DRY ON MONDAY, AS I MENTIONED, BUT WE\u2019LL WELCOME THE CHANCE FOR SOME COASTAL SHOWERS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. FOLLOW. THESE WINDS ARE COMING IN FROM THE EAST COAST NOW. WITH THAT, SEA BREEZE WILL PICK UP THE EXTRA MOISTURE. AND THAT\u2019S WHAT\u2019S ALLOWING FOR THOSE SPOTTY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS. BUT ALSO HAPPENING THIS WEEK. WE DO HAVE A LUNAR ECLIPSE TAKING PLACE THAT IS COMING UP ON TUESDAY IN THE MORNING. SO MARCH 3RD, JUST TWO DAYS FROM NOW. ECLIPSE WINDOW DOES BEGIN AT 344 IN THE MORNING AND JUST AFTER SUNRISE, TEMPERATURES STILL HANGING AROUND THE LOWER 60S. SO IF YOU\u2019RE GOING OUT TO GO VIEW, JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO BRING THE LIGHTWEIGHT JACKET. YOU WON\u2019T NEED IT LATER ON IN THE AFTERNOON, AS TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE RETURNING TO THE 80S AS WE HEAT UP ON THE FIRST AND ALSO THE SECOND WEEK OF MARCH. I MENTIONED WE HAVE A FEW SPOTTY RAIN CHANCES COMING OUR DIRECTION OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT WEEK. WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE MAYBE HALF OF AN INCH OF RAIN IF WE\u2019RE LUCKY. SO ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE GOING TO BE IN THE PICTURE. AND HERE\u2019S HOW YOUR TEMPERATURES SPREAD IS GOING TO STACK UP. UPPER 70S TOMORROW. LOWER 80S ON TUESDAY. WE HOLD ON TO THAT SUNSHINE. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
