Cooler with a few showers Thursday!

SEVERAL WEEKS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BUT IT’S ALREADY PRETTY MUCH HERE. TONY IT IS. YOU KNOW, WE GET SPRING BREAK EARLY HERE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE’RE GOING TO BE SPRINGING TONIGHT IS A ROCKET THERE. WE’VE GOT A LAUNCH THERE TONIGHT JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT, AND THE FORECAST HERE LOCALLY LOOKS GOOD. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH THE OFFSHORE CONDITIONS IN CASE THERE’S AN ABORT. UH, NEEDED. LET’S TAKE A LOOK NOW AT THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS. SOUTHWEST. WARM DAY TODAY. WE HIT 85 IN ORLANDO FOR DEGREES SHY OF TYING THE RECORD HIGH 75 IN OCALA, 86 CURRENTLY BACK TOWARDS TITUSVILLE. TAKING A LOOK AT FUTURE CAST. HERE YOU CAN SEE BETWEEN NINE, TEN, 11 AND 12 A LOT OF CLOUDS AROUND HERE, BUT NOT A WHOLE LOT OF OF MOISTURE. SO AS WE TAKE A LOOK NOW AT THE NASA CREW EIGHT FORECAST LAUNCH WINDOW. 12:04 A.M. LIFTOFF WINDS, PRECIPITATION PROBABILITY. LIFTOFF LOOKS GOOD. WIND SHEAR, SOLAR ACTIVITY IN THE GREEN, WHICH IS GOOD, BUT IT’S UPSTAIRS. AND DOWNWIND THERE THAT WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH THE ATLANTIC WITH THAT MID-ATLANTIC COLD FRONT THERE AND THOSE STRONG WINDS, UH, OFFSHORE WITH THAT NOW TEMPS TOMORROW MORNING, UPPER 50S TO THE LOW 60S, WELL ABOVE THE NORMAL TEMPERATURE OF 54 FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, 12 HOUR FORECAST UP TOWARDS PALM COAST. A LOT OF CLOUDS AROUND FROM START TO FINISH AND SPOTTY SHOWERS FROM TIME TO TIME, ESPECIALLY AS THE WIND PICKS UP DURING THE COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON. THERE’S THE FRONT KIND OF FIZZLING ON OUT, MAYBE A BRIEF SPRINKLE IN THE MORNING, LOOK AT THE ONSHORE FLOW, PICKING ON UP SHOWERS COMING ASHORE OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON, WINDS TURNING AROUND TO THE SOUTHEAST AND THEN THE SOUTH. BY FRIDAY MORNING. AND THAT’S A HINT THAT AGAIN, THERE WILL BE A FEW SHOWERS AROUND ON FRIDAY, ALONG WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES. THEN WE’LL WATCH THIS ACTIVITY HERE SLATED TO ARRIVE OVER THE WEEKEND AS IT SLOWLY MEANDERS BACK DOWN TOWARDS THE SOUTH. SO TEMPS TOMORROW HOLDING IN THE UPPER 60S IN OUR NORTHERN COMMUNITIES NEAR 7475 ORLANDO A LITTLE BIT WARMER. THE FARTHER SOUTH YOU GO. NOW WE COULD USE SOME OF THAT RAIN BECAUSE THE POLLEN LEVELS ARE HIGH RIGHT THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. WE MAY GET A LITTLE HELP BY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. IF THE EUROPEAN COMPUTER MODEL IS CORRECT, AND WE PICK UP OVER AN INCH RAIN, THAT WOULD HELP CLEANSE THE ENVIRONMENT THAT THE AIR THAT WE BREATHE AND WASH OUT SOME OF THAT POLLEN. SO WE’LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THAT. ALL RIGHT. BIKE WEEKEND FRIDAY KICKING OFF HERE 76 DEGREES. THE SPOTTY SHOWER. BETTER RAIN CHANCES THOUGH AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES HOLDING STEADY 7475 DEGREES AS WE TAKE A LOOK. NOW AT FUTURECAST HERE IS THAT SETUP. THERE’S THAT FRONT KIND OF STAYING RIGHT AROUND INTERSTATE TEN. WE’VE GOT THAT SOUTHERLY FLOW. WE’RE IN THE WARM SECTOR. SO THAT MEANS THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO TRIGGER AN ISOLATED LATE DAY SHOWER AND OR A THUNDERSTORM CAM OVER THE WEEKEND. HIGHER RAINFALL TOTALS ON THE GFS IN OUR NORTHERN COMMUNITIES. THE EUROPEAN HAS HIGHER RAINFALL TOTALS AS WELL. NORTH AND EAST OF ORLANDO, WITH ABOUT A HALF AN INCH TO ALMOST AN INCH AND A HALF UP THERE IN PALM COAST, SO WE’LL BE FINE TUNING THAT FORECAST. SO NOT A WASHOUT, BUT IN SOME AREAS THERE WILL BE SOME DECENT RAINS OVER THE WEEKEND. MONSTER JAM SHOWERS DEVELOPING AROUND THE PIT, PARTY TIME 230 AND LINGERING DEEPER INTO THE EVENING. AGAIN, THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A WASHOUT. JUST, YOU KNOW, BRINGING UMBRELLA OR HAVE A PONCHO READY TO GO. THERE. THURSDAY COOLER FRIDAY BACK UP TO 80, STAYING AROUND 80 THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AND RAIN CHANCES. SATURDAY WILL BE HIGHER THAN SUNDAY, 60 TO 40% AND A LITTLE BIT LOWER. THERE AS WE GET INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND. 80 DAREN. THANK YOU TONY. COMING UP IN SPORTS, THE MAGIC WITH THE DECISIVE PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT WITHOUT THEIR ALL STAR PAOLO BANCHERO. WHAT IT MEANS MOVING FORWARD. PLUS ORLANDO CITY IS MOVING FORWARD IN THE CONCACAF CHAMPIONS CUP. WHY THEIR SECOND ROUND MATCHUP HAS THEM A LITTLE MORE FIRED UP THAN USUAL. SPORTS IS NEXT. YOU KNO
