Development chances increase for Invest 97-L, NHC says

11 people were saved. Wow. Alright, let’s talk about what is going on. *** lot is happening on our coast. We’ve got *** launch out there. We know we’ve got very rough surf conditions out there. How is this weather going to impact that maybe? Well, as far as the launch taking off, we’re going to have *** 95% probability that we’re agreeing to go, right? So we’re past our wet weather days here in Central Florida, but the booster recovery is where we might run into some issues just due to the high wave heights out across the ocean. As we take you back inland though, perfect blue skies lie ahead of you tonight if you’re stepping outside in Orlando. This is probably the most sunshine I have seen in weeks, not even *** cloud in sight as temperatures are still sitting in the lower 80s. You’ll cool once again tonight, dropping down to the 60s, and that’s gonna be the general trend that we’ll carry over the next few days, but this morning in particular was the coolest that we had been. Since all the way back in the end of April, 165 days have passed since the last time we saw temperatures of 62 degrees or cooler, and that’s all due to this cold front that marched across Central Florida yesterday. Now we see the heavy rain showers swirling around. Area of low pressure or noreaster affecting the Carolinas, but for us in Central Florida it’s consistent dry and cool air that we’re filtering in and that’s gonna be the trend as we continue across the rest of the month of October and that’s typical for us here in Central Florida that we switch from our wet season. To our dry season as we’re midway through the fall season right now. So last year that transition was right on October 11th, so yesterday this time last year, and back in 2023, that transition was on October 14th. So we’re lining up with the climatology trends, but what we still have to be cognizant of are the rough surf conditions that exist across our coast. This is marineland in Flagler County where we see those elevated. Wave he’s still well after high tide and as we continue into the start of the work week, we’re gonna be watching out for the rough surf, the rip current threats, as well as any chance for any additional coastal flooding that coincides with those high tide times. As we head into the start of your work week though, notice this wave heights are going to be subsiding. We see those drops to 4 to 6 ft conditions on Tuesday, which is gonna be great news. Therefore, still tomorrow morning we’re gonna carry the threats of any. Coastal flooding. It’s *** coastal flooding advisory for Brevard, Volusia, and Flagler County as we enter your work week here back at home inland though, temperatures will crawl into the mid-60s overnight under these perfectly clear skies. Take *** moment to track the tropics. We’re still watching Invest 970, which was tagged in Invest by the National Hurricane Center yesterday. This could become our next tropical depression by the middle of the workweek as this. Cluster of showers and storms moving towards the north and the west at 22 MPH, still moving across warm Atlantic waters. What it’s going to do likely recurve towards the north courtesy of *** Bermuda high, remaining *** fish storm, but we’ll still keep our eyes on it as we can see that intensification ongoing. Weather impact for your golf round tomorrow? None whatsoever as we’ll have these perfectly clear skies to start off the work week. There may be *** stray chance for *** coastal. Hour on Tuesday heading into Wednesday, but ultimately it is going to be *** brilliant 7 day stretch just with cooler temperatures. Marion County will drop to the 50s. Lower 60s for Sumter as we head across the coast. It’ll be *** touch warmer tomorrow morning in the upper 60s, but ultimately there will be some very cool pockets of air across our north and westernmost communities here back in Orlando, pretty consistent sunshine all throughout your work week, and we’ll carry that into the weekend as well.
