High fire threat across Central Florida<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHE\u2019LL TALK YOUR EAR OFF. YEAH, BUT YOU\u2019LL LEARN SOMETHING. SO IT\u2019S GOOD. LISTEN, THIS MORNING IT\u2019S LOVELY TEMPERATURES. WE WERE IN THE 40S IN OCALA THIS MORNING. OKAY. THAT\u2019S GREAT. UNTIL YOU RECOGNIZE THAT THIS PLAYS INTO A FIRE THREAT FOR TODAY. NOW WATCH THE HUMIDITY PERCENTAGES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THEY DROP DROP, DROP. AND BECAUSE THEY GET INTO THE 20 AND 30% RANGE, WE HAVE THAT VERY HIGH. AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE\u2019LL CALL IT SIGNIFICANT FIRE DANGER RISK. NOW THE GOOD NEWS IS IT GETS BACK TO NORMAL FOR OUR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY. I MEAN, WE HAVE TO STILL BE COGNIZANT OF THIS. BUT TODAY THE ATMOSPHERE IS REALLY SUPPORTING, WHICH IS WHY WE\u2019RE CALLING TODAY IMPACT WEATHER BECAUSE OF THE DRY AIR AND THE GUSTY WINDS. AND THUS WE HAVE RED FLAG WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR NEARLY ALL OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, WHEN SO FAR HAVE BEEN BREEZY ENOUGH THAT WE\u2019VE SEEN GUSTS NEARLY 20 MILES AN HOUR FOR MOST SPOTS DOWN YEEHAW JUNCTION, WE\u2019VE SEEN UPWARDS OF 30, BUT THAT\u2019S THE SETUP FOR TODAY. THE DRY AIR AND THE GUSTY WINDS. NOW, LOOKING AT FUTURECAST HIGH PRESSURE KEEPING US DRY. BUT AS IT BUILDS IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, GETS CLOSER AND CLOSER TO US. THE OVERALL WIND WILL BEGIN TO CALM DOWN. AND THEN LATE WEEK, AS IT\u2019S KIND OF PARKED OFF OF OUR EAST COAST, WE START TO GET MORE OF A SOUTHERLY WIND DIRECTION. AND THAT\u2019S GOING TO HELP TO START WARMING THE TEMPERATURES UP. SO FOR TODAY, WE\u2019RE LOVING LIFE. LOWER 80S. SAME IDEA FOR YOUR WEDNESDAY THURSDAY. BUT THEN WE TURN THE WINDS AROUND AND JUST LIKE WE TURN THE BEAT AROUND, WE BRING UP THE TEMPERATURES. WE BRING UP THE HEAT MID 80S BY FRIDAY, SATURDAY ALREADY NEARLY 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE THIS MORNING. I HAVE TO PICK ON YOU, CARLA, BECAUSE THAT\u2019S BRISK BABY. IT FEELS GREAT TEMPERATURE NOW COMING BACK UP TO 50 DEGREES. YOU\u2019RE AT 40, 48, 49 JUST IN THE LAST HOUR. THAT\u2019S AWESOME. 60 IN ORLANDO, 61 IN WEDGEFIELD, 62 IN SAINT CLOUD. WE\u2019RE IN THE LOWER 70S IN BREVARD. BUT LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE. 53 HERE IN DAYTONA BEACH AND 51 OUTSIDE IN PALM COAST. SO THERE\u2019S TONS OF SUNSHINE. IT\u2019S A GORGEOUS DAY. WE\u2019VE GOT THAT IMPACT WEATHER NOTED BECAUSE OF THE FIRE THREAT IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES 78 FOR LUNCHTIME, 81 DEGREES, OUR 3:00 HIGH TEMPERATURE. IF YOU\u2019RE HEADING TO THE AREA WATERWAYS, I WOULD ADD WE STILL HAVE THE GUSTY WINDS, WHICH MEANS THERE\u2019S THAT HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS. SURF BREAKING 3 TO 5FT AND SEAS FOR THE BOATERS RUNNING 4 TO 6FT. SO FOR TODAY, FOR TOMORROW, THE BIG WEATHER STORY OF COURSE IS GOING TO BE THE WIND GUSTS, HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER RANGE OF THE 80S. A FEW SHOWERS STARTING UP AROUND THURSDAY. THAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND. BUT THE BIG STORY IS GOING TO BE FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, THOSE TEMPERATURES CLIMBING, GETTING CLOSE TO 90.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
