Hot, stormy pattern continues across Central Florida<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAT THE OFF RAMP THERE. ALL RIGHT. GOOD ON YOU, ALLEN. GOOD ON YOU. LISTEN, WHATEVER OUR PLANS ARE THIS WEEKEND, WE\u2019RE GETTING BACK TO OUR NORMAL RAIN PATTERN TODAY. YESTERDAY, IT\u2019S A HIGHER THAN AVERAGE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM SET UP AT ABOUT 60%. BUT LOOKING AHEAD TO SATURDAY. SUNDAY, QUIET IN THE MORNING. AND THEN THOSE STORMS GET FIRED UP NOW. IT\u2019S STILL GOING TO STORM OVER THE WEEKEND JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. WE\u2019LL SAY UNDER CONTROL. BUT FOR TODAY IT\u2019S A 60% COVERAGE OF RAIN, 94 DEGREES, OUR HIGH TEMPERATURE. AND THEN NOTICE WE KIND OF GET BACK TO NORMAL. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THOUGH, LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK, RAIN COVERAGE STARTS TO BUILD AS A STORM SYSTEM TRIES TO BUBBLE UP AROUND US. WE\u2019LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT COMING UP IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR. BUT LET\u2019S GET INTO TODAY\u2019S RAIN OPPORTUNITIES. ALL RIGHT. STARTING AROUND LUNCHTIME, I-75, A FEW AREAS OF RAIN, THEN INTO THE METRO. NOTICE 2 TO 4 P.M. THAT\u2019S YOUR WINDOW FOR WIDESPREAD STORMY WEATHER. AND THEN BY ABOUT DINNERTIME OR SO, IT\u2019S SETTLING IN OUT ALONG OUR I-95 CORRIDOR FOR TOMORROW. SAME IDEA, BUT THE COVERAGE IS A LITTLE MORE UNDER CONTROL. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS AROUND TOWN. SO LET\u2019S LOOK AT OUR DAY TO DAY. SHALL WE? STARTING OFF NICE AND QUIET, GETTING THOSE TEMPERATURES CLIMBING 92 BY 1 P.M. 3 P.M. IT\u2019S 95. THERE\u2019S THAT 60% COVERAGE OF STORMS. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE TEMPERATURES START TO DROP OFF A BIT AS WE GET THAT RAIN AROUND. UV INDEX TODAY IS AT AN 11, MEANING THAT YOU\u2019VE GOT ABOUT TEN MINUTES TO BURN. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE DAYS HEADING TO THE BEACH. WATER TEMPERATURES, GREAT SURF, LOOKING FANTASTIC IN THE POOL. FORECAST PUTS US IN A GOOD RANGE JUST BECAUSE OF THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS. THE EARLIER THE BETTER YOU\u2019LL BE. LIVE. LOOK OUTSIDE ON OUR TOWER CAM. IT IS FINE IN THE TOURIST DISTRICT. NOTHING. ON OUR FIRST WARNING. LIVE DOPPLER RADAR. LOVE THAT IT GETS ACTIVE THOUGH LATER ON TODAY, 60% COVERAGE OF RAIN. MORE ACTIVE THAN NORMAL TODAY. RAIN CHANCES KIND OF GETTING MORE IN CHECK FOR FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND THEN SOME RAIN\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
