METEOROLOGIST KELLIANNE KLASS. YEAH, JOINING US NOW. HOPEFULLY THIS THING WILL BE A GOOD GO. THINGS ARE LOOKING NEAR PERFECT FOR LIFTOFF. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A LOOK AT THAT LAUNCH FORECAST. BUT LET’S AT LEAST GET YOU OUT THE DOOR THIS MORNING BECAUSE IT’S VERY COMFORTABLE WITH TEMPERATURES INTO THE 60S AND 70S, 62 DEGREES IN OCALA, WILDWOOD IN PALM COAST, 67 DEGREES IN ORLANDO. WE’RE AT 75 DEGREES IN MELBOURNE AND 74 DEGREES IN PALM BAY. SO AS WE GET THE KIDS READY FOR SCHOOL, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IT’S COMFORTABLE. WE’RE MOSTLY CLEAR, BUT DO KNOW THAT WE’RE TRACKING A FEW AREAS OF PATCHY FOG. MOST OF THAT FOG IS RIGHT AROUND MARION COUNTY. OCALA YOU’RE DOWN TO A QUARTER MILE VISIBILITY. PALM COAST AT A PERFECT TEN AND ABOUT A ALMOST A FOUR AND A HALF MILE VISIBILITY IN WILDWOOD. I’M NOT EXPECTING IT TO BE WIDE SPREAD FOG THIS MORNING, BUT MOSTLY THAT PATCHY FOG AROUND MARION AND EVEN SUMTER COUNTIES. OTHERWISE, FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AHEAD, IT’S SHAPING UP TO BE BEAUTIFUL. OUTSIDE. WE’LL HAVE A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS JUST LIKE YESTERDAY. A NICE BREEZE PICKING UP TO AROUND 10 TO 15MPH. AND OUR TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY WARM INTO THE MID 80S. THOSE CLEAR CONDITIONS STICK AROUND WITH US OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND TEMPERATURES FALL INTO THE 70 IS LOOKING GREAT FOR THAT FALCON NINE ROCKET LAUNCH. AGAIN, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT NEAR PERFECT CONDITIONS AT 720 FOR THAT FALCON NINE, THAT STARLINK LAUNCH. OTHERWISE, TEMPERATURES TODAY, AGAIN, WE’RE TALKING VERY COMFORTABLE FOR OUR COASTAL SPOTS IN THE LOW 80S INLAND SPOTS INTO THE MID 80S AND A LITTLE BIT WARMER NORTH AND WEST OF ORLANDO, 87IN OCALA. THE VILLAGES AND WILDWOOD, BUT 85 RIGHT HERE IN ORLANDO. AND THEN TOMORROW, ONCE AGAIN WE’LL BE IN THE LOW AND MID 80S. IT’S GOING TO BE SUNNY AND JUST SLIGHTLY WARMER BY A COUPLE OF DEGREES FOR SOME LOCATIONS TOMORROW. BY THE WAY, IS HALLOWEEN CONDITIONS FOR HALLOWEEN AND TRICK OR TREAT ARE LOOKING GREAT. CLEAR WITH NO RAINFALL. BUT THEN BY WEDNESDAY, THINGS START TO CHANGE AS OUR NEXT COLD FRONT SWINGS IN AND THAT’S GOING TO DROP. TEMPERATURES FROM TUESDAY AT 86 DEGREES DOWN TO 74 DEGREES ON WEDNESDAY. AS OUR AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE RIGHT AROUND 82. SO THAT’S GOING TO BE ALMOST TEN DEGREES BELOW OUR AVERAGE. AND THE OTHER NICE THING IS THE LOWER HUMID CITY. IT’S GOING TO BE SOMEWHAT HUMID TODAY AND TOMORROW, BUT BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, ONCE THAT COOLER AND DRIER AIR PUSHES IN, IT’S GOING TO FEEL VERY, VERY PLEASANT OUT SIDE, YOUR FIRST WARNING, SEVEN DAY FORECAST FEATURES THAT COOL DOWN VERY BRIEFLY FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THURSDAY MORNING, BY THE WAY, WE’RE WAKING UP INTO THE 50S ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. BY THE AFTERNOON, WE’RE WARMING UP TO 7780S, MAKE A RETURN BY FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND WHERE SUNDAY WE ACTUALLY FALL. BACK. WE TURN THOSE CLOCKS BACK ONE HOUR AT 2 A.M. SO WE LOSE AN

It’s a pleasant start to our Monday with temperatures in the 60s & 70s. Most of Central Florida is under clear conditions, but a few spots N&W of the city could see some fog. The fog will lift by late morning leading to sunny and warm conditions. Tomorrow will feature plenty of sunshine and warm conditions. Temperatures will once again reach the mid-80s under plenty of sunshine.Things will change starting Wednesday as a cold front swings through. Temperatures Wednesday afternoon will drop to the mid-70s. For some, this will be almost ten degrees below average. Thursday morning will be the coolest morning as temperatures dip into the upper 50s. Highs will reach the mid-70s again.Seasonable air is back in the forecast by the weekend, along with a few showers. TROPICS: There are two areas of interest in the tropics. An area of low pressure (Invest 96-L) near the central Bahamas is producing gale-force winds on its northeast side. However, the thunderstorm activity continues to remain disorganized. The storm’s chances of becoming a short-lived tropical storm are slowly decreasing. The NHC has a 30% chance of development in the next 2 & 7 days. The cold front that will arrive mid-week will help to keep this storm away from Central Florida and remain out to sea. Model guidance is agreeing on this as well. There is an area of disturbed weather in the eastern Caribbean Sea. This will move westward over the next several days. Conditions seem to be conducive for gradual development. A tropical depression could form later this week.
