SO FOR TODAY, THAT\u2019S WHERE WE ARE. RAINS ALONG THE COAST THROUGH ABOUT 9:10 A.M. AND THEN LUNCHTIME. WE KIND OF RESET THINGS BEFORE POPPING UP. SHOWERS AND STORMS, ONE, TWO, 3:00 AND THEN WORKING THEM INLAND THROUGH THE DAY. SO OUR MEMORIAL DAY FORECAST IS LOOKING VERY NICE. IF WE TIME IT OUT AS THE GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING, HERE\u2019S 8:00. STILL WITH SOME OF THESE COASTAL RAINS. BUT WATCH HOW THAT TAPERS OFF. THEN EVERYBODY STARTS HEADING TO THE BEACHES. EVERYBODY STARTS HEADING INTO THE BACKYARD SWIMMING POOLS. WE ARE LOOKING FANTASTIC FOR LUNCH TIME. THEN THERE\u2019S 2:00 STARTING UP SOME SHOWERS AND THEN WORKING INTO SOME STORMS IN OUR WESTERN AREAS. THERE\u2019S 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 ACROSS THE I 75 CORRIDOR. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GIVE YOU THE FIRST WARNING, THOUGH, WHILE WE\u2019RE IN A NORMAL SUMMER PATTERN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS THURSDAY. FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY. THERE\u2019S A LOT OF TROPICAL MOISTURE BUBBLING UP OUR WAY. AND NOT ONLY ARE WE LOOKING AT WIDESPREAD RAINS, BUT THERE IS A CONCERN OF FLOODING. THIS IS THE EUROPEAN MODEL. OKAY, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, I\u2019M RUNNING IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH ABOUT JUNE 3RD. LOOK AT THE COLORS. OKAY. YOU\u2019RE TALKING WIDESPREAD, 2 TO 3, EVEN FOUR FIVE INCHES OF RAIN. THIS IS ONE RUN OF ONE MODEL, BUT IT JUST ILLUSTRATES THE IDEA THAT WE\u2019VE GOT SOME SIGNIFICANT RAINS MOVING IN. THIS IS THAT SAME EUROPEAN MODEL. AND THIS IS LOOKING AT WATER VAPOR OR MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE. RIGHT. SO FOR TODAY, MOST OF THE MOISTURE IS UP AROUND THE GULF COAST FROM MISSISSIPPI, BACK OVER TOWARD THE PANHANDLE. BUT BY THURSDAY, WE START TO SEE THOSE GREENS PICKING UP OVER FLORIDA. THAT\u2019S A REAL SOUPY ATMOSPHERE. AND IT CONTINUES FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND EVEN INTO SUNDAY. SO YES, RAIN CHANCES REALLY GOING UP. SO FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IT\u2019S AFTERNOON STORMS, BUT LATE WEEK THAT TURNS INTO MORE AND MORE OF A FLOODING THREAT. AND WE ALWAYS WANT TO GIVE YOU THAT FIRST WARNING. SO HERE WE ARE HAVING THAT CONVERSATION THIS MORNING. IT\u2019S A NICE QUIET START. THAT\u2019S A LIVE LOOK FROM OUR VENUE. 520 TOWER CAM IN SANFORD. WE\u2019RE AT 74 DEGREES 76 CURRENTLY IN ORLANDO, AND IT\u2019S NEARLY 80. BACK OVER TO THE SPACE COAST. LOOK AT THIS FIRST WARNING. DOPPLER RADAR. THANKFULLY NOTHING STRONG OR SEVERE, BUT THERE\u2019S A LOT OF SHOWERS HERE FROM PORT SAINT JOHN UP THROUGH ABOUT TITUSVILLE, MERRITT ISLAND BACK OVER TOWARD JULIO TO KIND OF CROSSING OVER BREVARD, ORANGE, VOLUSIA, SEMINOLE COUNTY AND THEN PLENTY MORE OAK HILL, EDGEWATER ABOUT TO COME ON IN PORT ORANGE. DAYTONA BEACH MAY SEE SOME RAIN, BUT IT\u2019S POURING HERE FROM ABOUT FLAGLER BEACH THROUGH TO PALM COAST, RIGHT UP TOWARD THE SAINT JOHNS COUNTY LINE. SO THAT\u2019S WHERE WE\u2019RE AT RIGHT NOW. A FEW AREAS OF COASTAL RAINS. THEN WE GET INTO A COUPLE OF AFTERNOON STORMS, HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY, PUSHING INTO THE LOWER RANGE OF THE 90S, COASTAL SHOWERS, BIGGER STORM CHANCE LATER TODAY, WORKS INTO OUR WESTERN AREAS. OKAY, WITH IT BEING MEMORIAL DAY. WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ALSO KNOW AT THE BEACHES, HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS, RIGHT? SURF BREAKING 2 TO 3. THAT\u2019S NOT TOO BAD. WATER TEMPERATURES HAVE CLIMBED INTO THE UPPER 70S LOWER 80S. AND WHILE, YES, WE\u2019VE GOT SOME AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING, IT LOOKS BETTER AND BETTER AT THE BEACHES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SO HERE WE ARE. CENTRAL FLORIDA CERTIFIED. MOST ACCURATE SEVEN DAY FORECAST SHOWING THE LOWEST COVERAGE OF RAIN TODAY FOR MEMORIAL DAY. THEN TUESDAY WEDNESDAY WE START PICKING UP THAT RAIN CHANCE AGAIN AS WE START TO SEE MORE AND MORE OF THAT TROPICAL MOISTURE MOVE OUR DIRECTION. THEN THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, IT\u2019S IMPACT WEATHER. AND I\u2019M NOT SAYING THIS TO HYPE. IT\u2019S NOT TRYING TO SCARE. THAT\u2019S NOT THE WORDS WE\u2019RE USING. IT\u2019S IMPACT. IT\u2019S GOING TO IMPACT YOU.
