Showers and storms Wednesday then coldest air of season arrives!

BUT WE’VE BEEN EXPECTING IT BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN TELLING US ABOUT SARAH. SO WE’VE BEEN BRACING FOR IT. YOU KNOW, I DID A SCHOOL TALK TEACHING TODAY OVER AT CYPRESS SPRINGS ELEMENTARY IN EAST ORLANDO, AND THEY WERE ALL, LIKE, ABUZZ. THEY WERE READY TO WEAR THEIR JACKETS AND THEIR HOODIES AND EVERYTHING. SO, YEAH. IT’S COMING. ALL RIGHT. SO WE GOT TO DEAL WITH A COUPLE OF STORMS TOMORROW MORNING. NOT WORRIED ABOUT SEVERE STORMS, BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT STORMS THAT COULD WAKE YOU UP IN THE MORNING AND COULD BE PROBLEMATIC FOR YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. SO WE JUST WANT YOU TO BE CAREFUL ON THE ROADS, OUT IN THE WORK, AND THEN THE PAYOFF, THOUGH, IS THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON, 40S IN THE MORNING, 60S TO LOW 70S. AS WE GET YOU INTO THE AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY AND THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THERE’S THAT ROLLER COASTER STEW WAS JUST ALLUDING TO 69 ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, TOMORROW MORNING AND THEN 47 ON FRIDAY MORNING. AND IN BETWEEN THURSDAY MORNING IN THE UPPER 50S. EPCOT, A GLOW TONIGHT. LOOKING BEAUTIFUL. TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW RUNNING ABOUT 70 TO 75 DEGREES. NOW THERE’S OUR FRONT. IT IS ON THE MOVE. NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS. NO TORNADO WARNINGS IN THE PANHANDLE. AND JUST A NICE, GOOD SOLID SOAKING RAIN. AS OF RIGHT NOW. WE’RE TAKING A LOOK NOW AT THE RADAR OUT OF TAMPA BAY. STARTING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN APPROACHING THE THE FAR EASTERN PANHANDLE AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE SHOWERS WILL START TO RETURN BACK INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA, AND IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE’VE HAD OVER A QUARTER OF AN INCH OF RAIN, SO THIS IS GOING TO BE SOME GOOD NEWS. THE UNFORTUNATE THING ABOUT IT IS THE TIMING. DURING THE HEART OF THE MORNING RUSH HOUR, WHERE THE TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL STILL BE MILD, 65 TO ABOUT THE 70 DEGREE MARK. AND THEN AS THE STORMS ROLL IN, YOU’LL SEE THAT THEY APPEAR TO BE WEAKENING AS WE HEAD DEEPER INTO THE THE MORNING HOURS HERE. SEVEN, EIGHT, 9:00 WE GET THE BIG FIRST PUSH, THEN WE GET THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THEN THE ACTUAL FRONT ARRIVING EARLY AFTERNOON, AND THEN THE CLEARING LINE COMING IN AFTER SUNSET WITH THOSE NORTHWEST WINDS. AS FAR AS RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE CONCERNED, YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE EURO. IT’S STILL THE HEAVIEST IT HAS BEEN CONSECUTIVELY HERE FOR A COUPLE OF RUNS. THE GFS A LITTLE BIT LIGHTER WITH MOST FOLKS AROUND A HALF AN INCH. A FEW FOLKS OFF TOWARDS THE WEST WITH SOME HEAVIER AMOUNTS. NOW TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BE IN THE UPPER 70S, BUT FALLING DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS BEHIND THAT FRONT. SO IT’S A LITTLE BIT DECEPTIVE THERE. TAKE A LOOK AT THE DAY PLANNER. YOU CAN SEE THOSE YELLOW IMPACT ICONS FOR THE MORNING RAIN. THINGS WILL BE IMPROVING LATE MORNING ON INTO THE AFTERNOON. YOU CAN SEE THE TEMPERATURE DROPPING THERE AS WE SHOWED YOU THERE ON THE PLANNER. THAT’S GOING TO BE AREA WIDE AND THERE’S YOUR BLUE DOME OF COLDER HIGH PRESSURE THAT WILL BE SETTLING ON IN AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SO WAS 82 TODAY. IT WILL BE 72 THURSDAY AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE HIGH TEMPERATURES. AND THEN THE 60S AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. SO MORNING LOW TEMPERATURES FRIDAY MORNING, 43 IN OCALA, 46, SANFORD 48 ON INTO TITUSVILLE. AND I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, FOR THOSE PLAYOFF FOOTBALL GAMES, YOU’RE GOING TO NEED A JACKET 59 AT KICKOFF OVER TO LAKE MARY. BY THE TIME WE’RE AT THE SECOND HALF, 54 DEGREES, WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE SETUP FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. COLD DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES ON IN GORGEOUS WEATHER, BUT CHILLY. LOOK AT THESE TEMPERATURES SATURDAY MORNING 39 OCALA 41 TO LAND 45 BACK TOWARDS TITUSVILLE FOR THE FLORIDA CLASSIC FAN FEST AT 1030 58. KICKOFF COMING IN AT ABOUT 68. WE’RE NOT DONE. 40 IN OCALA. THERE SUNDAY MORNING AND 46 BACK TOWARDS BITHLO AND SAINT CLOUD. SO CRISP, COOL WEATHER HEADED OUR WAY. AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT IT ONE MORE TIME. WEDNESDAY. SHOWERS AND STORMS. PERFECT WEATHER THERE FOR THURSDAY.
