<\/p>\nSunny day ahead as temps climb into the 80s in Central Florida<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIT IS 516 AS WE BRING IN FIRST WARNING, METEOROLOGIST ERIC BURRIS AND BOY, I AM EXCITED FOR THE WEEKEND. I KNOW WE NEEDED THE RAIN ERIC, BUT AFTER A WHILE WE JUST MISSED THE SUN. THERE\u2019S MOMENTS WHERE YOU HAVE TO SAY, BOY, THIS WORKED OUT. NOW I KNOW WE\u2019VE HAD THE CLOUDS IN THE RAIN, BUT THIS MORNING WE LOOKED AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER. IT WAS RAINY YESTERDAY. NOT THE CASE THIS MORNING. AND LOOK AT THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST BECAUSE WE ARE TIMING IT OUT SO THAT WE\u2019RE CLEARING OUT FOR YOUR FRIDAY AND THEN OPENING THE DOOR FOR A FANTASTIC WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES ARE CLIMBING THOUGH. NOTICE UPPER 70S TODAY AND TOMORROW, BUT BY MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK WE\u2019RE INTO THE MID AND UPPER 80S. THAT SAID, LOOKING TO THE WEEKEND, THERE WILL PROBABLY BE PLENTY OF FOLKS WANTING TO HEAD OVER TO THE BEACHES. WE DO HAVE HIGH SURF ADVISORIES IN EFFECT THROUGH TONIGHT. HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS THROUGH AT LEAST SUNDAY. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT THE SEASON SURF, WHILE THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER, OUR WINDS ARE CALMING. WE ARE STILL FOR YOUR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. FAIRLY ROUGH ON THE WATERS, BEACHES, WAVES BREAKING ABOUT 4 TO 6FT ON SATURDAY, 3 TO 5FT ON SUNDAY. AND OBVIOUSLY RIP CURRENTS ARE A THING. SO I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT A RIP CURRENT IS. OKAY, AS THE WINDS COME IN OFF THE OCEAN, IT PILES THE WATER. SURE. WHAT WE DON\u2019T REALIZE THOUGH, IS THAT WATER DOES HAVE TO GO BACK OUT, AND USUALLY IT FINDS WAYS BETWEEN SANDBARS. THAT\u2019S YOUR RIP CURRENT. IF YOU\u2019RE SWIMMING HERE, IT\u2019S GOING TO PULL YOU OUT. YOU JUST AREN\u2019T STRONG ENOUGH. AS A MATTER OF FACT, SO MANY EVEN STRONG SWIMMERS WOULD LOSE THIS BATTLE. SO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS SWIM PARALLEL TO THE SHORELINE. FIND YOUR WAY OUT OF THAT CHANNEL OVER A SANDBAR, AND THEN YOU CAN SWIM BACK TO SHORE. I WOULD ALSO ADD JUST SWIM AT A GUARDED BEACH AND YOU\u2019RE GOING TO BE THE SAFEST YOU CAN BE FOR TODAY. TEMPERATURES CLIMBING WONDERFULLY MID 70S AROUND LUNCHTIME UPPER 70S THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND ASIDE FROM A FEW BEACH SPRINKLES, WE\u2019RE ACTUALLY LOOKING FANTASTIC. THAT SAID THOUGH, WE STARTED TO WATCH THAT WARMING TREND. LOOKING AHEAD TO OUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST, BEYOND THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST, THE AMERICAN GFS MODEL PUTS US IN THE UPPER 80S LOWER 90S THROUGH SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY AROUND MID TO EVEN LATE MONTH, AND THEN MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF EITHER A COLD FRONT AROUND THE 21ST, 22ND OR A BIT OF A RAIN EVENT. SO WE\u2019RE KIND OF TIMING IT OUT. BUT YOU DON\u2019T SEE COOL. YOU JUST SEE HOT AND THEN NOT AS HOT, BUT STILL WARM ENOUGH. THAT MEANS THAT WE\u2019VE GOT SPRING ACTIVITIES. FOR EXAMPLE, NEXT WEEK, THE LAKELAND LINDER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TURNS INTO THE BUSIEST AIRPORT IN THE WORLD BECAUSE THE SUN AND FUN AIR SHOW FLY IN AN EVENT IS TAKING PLACE. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE GORGEOUS FOR IT TOO. IT\u2019S JUST GOING TO BE HOT TUESDAYS WHEN THE EVENT GETS GOING. TUESDAY. WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY. HIGHS OUT THERE IN THE UPPER RANGE OF THE 80S. THE THUNDERBIRDS ARE THERE. HAVE. THE BLUE ANGELS ARE OVER AT COCOA BEACH THIS WEEKEND. LOTS OF FUN STUFF GOING ON AND THE WEATHER IS GOING TO BE GREAT. LOOKING OVER TO MELBOURNE, IT\u2019S A COUPLE OF CLOUDS, BUT MUCH BETTER THAN IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY. SO FOR US THIS WEEKEND. UPPER 70S LOWER 80S. LOTS AND LOTS OF SUNSHINE AND INTO NEXT WEEK WE\u2019RE STAYING JUST AS NICE. WE\u2019LL KEEP A FEW ADDITIONAL SPRINKLES IN ON OUR COASTAL SEVEN DAY FORECAST, AND OBVIOUSLY THE ROUGH SURF AND RIP\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
