DIDN’T REALLY WANT TO DO MUCH EXCEPT KIND OF HANG OUT, WATCH MOVIES. IT WAS LIKE A REALLY NICE KIND OF DAY FOR SOUP CHILI HANGING OUT WITH THE FAMILY, WATCHING SOME FOOTBALL. EXACTLY. YEAH. TODAY IT’S MONDAY, SO WE CAN’T DO ALL OF THAT, AT LEAST DURING THE DAY. BUT BY THE EVENING HOURS WE CAN MAKE THAT SOUP AND CHILI BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH OUR TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO WARM INTO THE 70S AND 80S, IT’S STILL GOING TO FEEL VERY COOL OUTSIDE THIS MORNING, WHAT WE’RE WORKING WITH IS MIST CLOUDS AND SOME RAINFALL FOR OUR COASTLINE. OUR TEMPERATURES TODAY WON’T RISE MUCH BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY. THE CLOUDS, THE MIST AND THE RAIN. AND WE’RE ALREADY FEELING KIND OF COOLER THIS MORNING DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE RAIN FIRST. FIRST WARNING, RADAR PICKING UP ON SCATTERED SHOWERS WORKING IN FROM THE ATLANTIC. HEAVIEST RAIN RIGHT NOW IS FOCUSED FROM BREVARD COUNTY AND INTO VOLUSIA COUNTY. MERRITT ISLAND TOWARDS CAPE CANAVERAL. WE’RE SEEING HEAVIER DOWNPOURS THERE. PORT SAINT JOHNS STARTING TO DRY OUT, BUT SOME SPRINKLES ARE HEADED IN YOUR DIRECTION. SAME THING WITH MIMS AND THEN UP TOWARDS SCOTTSMOOR, OAK HILL AND ALL THE WAY UP TOWARDS PORT ORANGE AND DAYTONA BEACH. WE HAVE A STEADY STREAM OF RAINFALL WORKING ON IN. SO AS YOU GET THE KIDS READY FOR SCHOOL, UMBRELLAS WILL BE NEEDED ALONG I 95 BUT FOR OUR INLAND SPOTS NO UMBRELLAS WE’RE JUST LOOKING AT GRAY AND MISTY CONDITIONS. AND FOR SOME, THIS IS REDUCING THE VISIBILITIES. BUT WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THICK AND DENSE VISIBILITIES OR THICK AND DENSE FOG. WE’RE LOOKING AT A FOUR MILE VISIBILITY RIGHT NOW IN DELAND, SIX MILES IN LEESBURG, AND A NINE MILE VISIBILITY IN KISSIMMEE. WE’VE ALL OF THIS MOISTURE BEING STREAMED IN FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. AND THIS IS GOING TO LAST ALL AFTERNOON LONG. SO THIS MORNING WE HAVE THE MIST THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND THIS AFTERNOON, WE’LL ALSO BE LOOKING UP TO A 30% COVERAGE OF RAINFALL. HIGHEST RAIN COVERAGE TODAY WILL BE UP AND DOWN I 95. BUT SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS COULD WORK INLAND THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. AND EARLY MORNING. HERE’S A LOOK AT 930, 10:00. SOME HEAVIER RAINFALL IN OUR CENTRAL SPOTS THAT WORKS BACK TOWARDS I 75 BY 230 3:00, WE HAVE MORE RAIN STREAMING IN FROM THE ATLANTIC AND THAT WILL BE ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DAY TODAY. FOR MOST OF US THIS MORNING, WE’RE IN THE 60S AND 70S, ALTHOUGH WE’RE DROPPING DOWN TO ABOUT 60 DEGREES IN OCALA. SO A LITTLE BIT COOLER NORTH AND WEST OF ORLANDO. AND TODAY, WITH ALL OF THAT MIST, THE DAMP CONDITIONS PLUS A VERY STRONG WIND OUT OF THE NORTH NORTHEAST AT 15 TO 20MPH. IT’LL MAKE THE 70S AND LOW 80S FEEL A LITTLE BIT CHILLY AND OUR RAIN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO GO UP AS WELL, UP TO ABOUT A 60 TO 70% COVERAGE OF RAINFALL. THE REASON WHY IS THIS STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPING IN THE NORTHERN GULF COAST? THIS WILL SLOWLY MARCH TOWARDS CENTRAL FLORIDA TO REALLY INCREASING OUR RAINFALL FOR WEDNESDAY. AND ON THURSDAY, WE’LL HAVE A FEW SHOWERS EARLY MORNING ON FRIDAY. AND THEN THINGS SHOULD GRADUALLY IMPROVE BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AND GREAT NEWS IS, IS ALL OF THAT RAINFALL CLEARS OUT BY THE WEEKEND. SO WE’LL BE LEFT WITH MOSTLY SUNNY CO

Our Monday is off to a cloudy, gray, and misty start across Central Florida. While many of us are waking up to mist, our coastal locations are waking up to scattered rain. Morning showers will linger into the afternoon. A 30% coverage of rain is expected this morning and afternoon. Morning mist will stick around today as well; however, it will not reduce our visibility. Temperatures today will slowly rise into the 70s and lower 80s.Our pattern will become more active throughout the week. A storm system developing in the northern Gulf Coast will bring in more rain and storms beginning as early as tomorrow. Up to a 50% coverage of rain is expected Tuesday and 60% Wednesday. The storm system will bring the highest rain coverage Wednesday night through Thursday as it moves across the state. Our forecast will slowly turn drier as the low moves into the Atlantic by Friday. Rain chances will drop to 30% by Friday. A few isolated showers are possible going into the weekend, but the forecast will be back to our normal dry season by then. TROPICS: We are still watching the area of interest in the Caribbean. A broad area of low pressure is likely to form the in the next couple of days. Gradual development is possible. A tropical depression could form late this week. Models do not have this becoming a problem for Central Florida as a cold front will push this storm over Hispaniola and move into the Atlantic. Regardless, we will continue to monitor the progression of this system.
