<\/p>\nStormy pattern returns to Central Florida for holiday weekend<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDID, AND IT WAS A SCHLEP AND A HALF. I HEY, JUST SAYING. ANYWAY, YEAH, IT\u2019S BEAUTIFUL THIS MORNING. YOU DON\u2019T NEED TO GO CLIMBING. YOU JUST NEED TO GO OUTSIDE AND ENJOY. THAT\u2019S WHERE THE REAL BEAUTY IS, RIGHT? IT COULD BE AT THE SURFACE OR ANYWHERE ELSE YOU WANT TO GO FOR TODAY. 30% COVERAGE OF RAIN. THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE\u2019S NOT A TON OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IN THE FORECAST FOR TODAY. AS A MATTER OF FACT, HIGH TEMPERATURE GETS TO ABOUT 92 DEGREES. HERE\u2019S FUTURECAST SHOWING LUNCHTIME, A FEW SHOWERS POPPING ON UP, AND THEN LITTLE BY LITTLE THEY\u2019LL WORK INLAND. TWO, THREE, 4:00 OR SO. THEN WE LOOK AHEAD TO TOMORROW. YOUR FRIDAY RED HOT AND BOOM, BIG EVENT. LOOKS LIKE WE\u2019LL HAVE STORMS EARLY IN THE EVENT AND THEN PUSHING AND PUSHING TOWARD SUNSET. THINGS WILL GRADUALLY CLEAR ON OUT. AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE SAME THING HOLDS TRUE FOR OUR SATURDAY. IF YOU\u2019VE GOT 4TH OF JULY PLANS THAT INCLUDE FIREWORKS OR ANYTHING ELSE AROUND SUNSET, THE STORMS DO COME TO AN END. BUT I WANT YOU TO NOTICE SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY. YOU SEE THESE TEMPERATURES CLIMBING. IF YOU\u2019VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO NATIONAL WEATHER, THERE\u2019S BEEN THIS BIG HEAT DOME OVER TOP OF THE NORTHEAST UNITED STATES THAT STARTS RECEDING DOWN TO OUR AREA FOR NEXT WEEK. AND WHAT THAT\u2019S GOING TO HELP TO DO IS BUILD UP THOSE TEMPERATURES WILL BE BACK INTO THE MID 90S WITH FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES GETTING KIND OF OUT OF CONTROL. SO THAT\u2019S WHERE WE\u2019RE AT FOR NOW THOUGH. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. OUR TOWER CAM NETWORK TAKING US INTO DOWNTOWN ORLANDO. NOT SO BAD. WE\u2019RE IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S OUT THERE. OUR FIRST WARNING LIVE DOPPLER RADAR CHECK. DID HAVE SOME RAIN EARLIER HERE IN BREVARD COUNTY. THAT HAS SINCE MOVED OUT, BUT IT KIND OF LETS US KNOW THE HIGHEST COVERAGE OF RAIN ZONE. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE IN OUR SOUTHERN SPOTS TODAY. THE FURTHER NORTH YOU GO, I THINK THE DRIER THE ATMOSPHERE IS. SO WHATEVER YOUR PLANS ARE, WE\u2019RE LOOKING GOOD. LOTS OF THAT SUMMERTIME SUNSHINE MAKING IT INTO THE LOWER RANGE OF THE 90S. TODAY, HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE FAIRLY HELD BECAUSE WE\u2019RE NOT GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT A TON OF COOLING RAINS. BUT THINK OF IT LIKE THIS. TODAY IS THAT LAST DRIER DAY BECAUSE THAT STORM CHANCE STARTS TO INCREASE. LOOKING AHEAD TO THE WEEKEND FOR YOUR SATURDAY AND YOUR SUNDAY, IT\u2019S LOOKING LIKE A 70% COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSHOWERS. SO THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST SHOWS THAT LAST DRY DAY TODAY. AND THEN WE START TO BUILD IN THE RAIN CHANCE BUILDING UP THE HEAT BY NEXT WEEK. COASTAL SEVEN DAY FORECAST. SAME IDEA. MOSTLY DRY TODAY. BUT WE START BRINGING THOSE STORM CHANCES BACK UP. AND EVEN IN O\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
