Updated: 11:42 PM EST Nov 17, 2023
UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING. ALL RIGHT, TONY, YOU PROMISED BY THE WEEKEND IT WAS GOING TO DRY OUT AND MANY PEOPLE ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. YEAH, WE WILL. I THINK IN THE MORNING THAT WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOME FOGGY OF ALL THIS MOISTURE AT THE SURFACE. AND YEAH, YOU’VE GOT ALL THIS HUMIDITY, IT CREATES FOG. SO THAT’S WHAT WE’LL BE DEALING WITH IN THE MORNING. BUT I THINK AS WE TRANSITION INTO THE AFTERNOON, PERFECT THAT LITTLE YELLOW THING IN THE SKY WE CALL THE SUN. FINALLY, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. YEAH. YOU AND ME BOTH. LET ME TAKE YOU TO DOWNTOWN ORLANDO RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN SEE THE LOW CEILINGS RIGHT THERE SHROUDING THOSE BUILDINGS IN LOW CLOUDS TONIGHT. AGAIN, JUST A QUICK UPDATE IF YOU’RE JUST CHECKING ON IN, LOOKING FOR THAT LAUNCH AT 11, IT’S BEEN PUSHED BACK TO 1205. WE’RE WATCHING THE WINDS AND WE’RE WATCHING THE CUMULUS CLOUD RULES. THERE’S THAT PESKY LOW PRESSURE, SLOW MOVER. A LOT OF THE MODELS ALREADY HAD THIS ONE APPROACHING CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, THIS TIME LAST NIGHT. AND BECAUSE OF THE SLOWER MOVEMENT, WE’VE HAD A LONGER DURATION OF THOSE LOW CLOUDS AND THE OFF AND ON PERIODIC RAIN AND THE WAVE HEIGHTS HERE, ANYWHERE FROM EIGHT TO AS MUCH AS 13FT. WELL OFF SHORE, NEAR SHORE BREAKING WAVES ARE STARTING TO IMPROVE, BUT THEY ARE STILL PRETTY ROUGH OUT THERE AND WILL BE FOR YOUR AFTERNOON TOMORROW. THERE’S A LOOK NOW AT DAYTONA BEACH. WE’VE GOT SOME SHOWERS JUST OFF THE COAST AND DRIZZLE HERE THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF VOLUSIA COUNTY. BACK TOWARDS THE COAST, LOW CLOUDS, LOW VISIBILITIES THERE OVER THE BEACH LINE. A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN HERE AND DRIFTING OFF TOWARDS THE SOUTH SOUTHEAST ON THE BACK SIDE OF THAT LOW PRESSURE. THAT’S JUST OFFSHORE. NOW, THE RAIN’S GOOD. WE NEEDED IT. WE WERE 6 TO 8IN BEHIND IN ORLANDO, SANFORD AND LEESBURG. AND JUST LIKE THAT, WE GOT A BIG TIME DOSE OF MOTHER NATURE’S RAIN. STILL FOUR INCHES BEHIND, THOUGH, IN LEESBURG. BUT WE’RE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION NOW BACK TO PALM BAY, STEWART MICHELLE. WE’RE SHOWING YOU THE RAIN FROM THERE LAST NIGHT. YOU TAKE A LOOK AT LAST NIGHT’S RAIN ALONE. COMPARE THAT TO IAN. WE HAD MORE RAIN IN PALM BAY LAST NIGHT THAN WE DID IN HURRICANE IAN. TROPICAL STORM FAY IN PALM BAY BROUGHT ALMOST 15IN OF RAIN. SO SHY OF THAT. BUT AGAIN, EVERYBODY REMEMBERS FAY OVER THERE IN BREVARD COUNTY, COASTAL CONCERNS. WE GOT THE FLOOD ADVISORIES IN EFFECT THROUGH THE MORNING. HIGH SURF ADVISORY ALSO IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE HIGH RIP CURRENT CONCERNS NOW UP THERE IN FLAGLER COUNTY ALONG THE COAST AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. STEVE, START TO COME DOWN. STILL AWFULLY ROUGH, THOUGH, ON SATURDAY, IMPROVING THERE ON SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WE’RE GOING TO BE IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE, 12 HOUR FORECAST NOW UP IN OCALA. THE HIGH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING UP INTO THE MID 70S. ANOTHER FRONT DOES COME IN. IT’LL GIVE US THE CHANCE FOR A QUICK LITTLE SHOT OF A FEW SPRINKLES DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS ONCE THE FOG BURNS OFF. SUNDAY DOES LOOK A LOT BETTER WITH A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE. TEMPERATURES TOMORROW ABOUT WHERE THEY SHOULD BE IN THE MID 70S FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. THE FLORIDA CLASSIC. HERE WE GO. CLOUDS AFTER THAT FOG IS BURNING OFF 73, KICKING IT OFF AT 330. A TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 76 DEGREES. AND THEN WE SWITCH GEARS. WE HEAD TO THE TROPICS. THERE IS POTENTIAL TROPICAL CYCLONE 22, AGAIN OVER KINGSTON, HEADED TOWARDS CUBA AND THE BAHAMAS. BIG RAINMAKER HERE, NOT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE FOR US HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. AS YOU TAKE A LOOK NOW, THIS IS GOING TO HEAD JUST TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF BERMUDA. THERE’S THE LATEST NOW. THE TROPICAL STORM WATCHES HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED ACROSS PORTIONS OF CUBA AND HAITI. SO GOOD NEWS ON THAT FRONT AS WELL. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK NOW AT YOUR UPDATED SEVEN DAY FORECAST ON SATURDAY MORNING. FOG WITH THAT FRONT COMING ON IN, 20% CHANCE FOR A FEW SHOWERS LATE MORNING, EARLY AFTERNOON, NOTHING HEAVY SUNDAY, A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE. YOU’LL NOTICE THE TEMPERATURE THEN RIGHT AROUND 79 MONDAY WE’RE BACK IN THE 80S. TUESDAY LOW IN MID 80S. AND THEN ON WEDNESDAY, HERE COMES A COLD FRONT AFTERNOON. RAIN DOES ARRIVE. THINGS SHOULD CLEAR OUT IN TIME FOR THANKSGIVING. NOTICE THE TEMPERATURES THEN A LITTLE BIT COOLER UP AROUND 71. AND THEN ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MAY BE COMING IN OFF OF THE GULF OF MEXICO LATE FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.
