Hot & Humid With Low Storm Chances | June 23rd Forecast

MORNING. CAM. BUT I THINK THE BIG STORY NOW IS JUST THE HEAT. THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE, RIGHT? THE BEACH. THE BEACH OR THE POOL. ANYWHERE WHERE THERE’S WATER TO HELP COOL YOU OFF. BECAUSE TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE NEARING RECORDS. I DON’T THINK WE’LL ACTUALLY HIT THE RECORDS, BUT STILL VERY HOT. HERE’S A LIVE LOOK AT NEW SMYRNA. YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF FOLKS ARE JUST CRUISING THERE ON THE BEACH. AND DON’T BLAME YOU. IT IS HOT OUT THIS AFTERNOON. LOOK, THIS ALREADY FEELS LIKE 104 IN SAINT CLOUD 100 IN WILDWOOD, 101 RIGHT NOW IN OCALA. EVEN OUR COASTAL SPOTS. NEW SMYRNA RIGHT NOW FEELS LIKE 105. ONCE YOU COMBINE THAT HEAT AS WELL AS THAT HUMIDITY. SO TRIPLE DIGIT FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES THROUGH ABOUT 6 TO 7:00 TONIGHT. THAT’S HOW LONG THAT HEAT IS GOING TO STICK AROUND. EVEN BY 9:00 THIS EVENING, IT’S STILL GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE LOW 90S OUT WITH THAT HIGH HUMIDITY. NOW WE ARE SEEING SOME VERY ISOLATED RUMBLES OF THUNDER THIS AFTERNOON. YOU CAN SEE IT’S MOSTLY TO THE NORTH OF ORLANDO. I’M TRACKING THIS ONE CELL HERE THAT’S HEADING INTO FLAGLER COUNTY VERY SOON. THAT’S ACTUALLY BEEN TAGGED STRONG, MEANING WINDS OF 40MPH. THIS IS COMING OUT OF PIERSON AND HEADING EAST INTO SOUTHERN FLAGLER COUNTY. THIS WILL IMPACT AREAS LIKE BERTA. JUST AFTER ABOUT 1245 THIS AFTERNOON. SO HEADS UP FOR YOU FOLKS THERE IN FAVOR OF. YOU ARE EXPECTING LOTS OF LIGHTNING AND SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER, SOME GUSTY WINDS, ABOUT 40MPH. ALSO TRACKING THIS GUSTY THUNDERSTORM NEAR WEIRSDALE AS WELL AS THE VILLAGES IS HEADING EAST NOW TO LADY LAKE. WE’RE ALSO TRACKING A COUPLE SHOWERS AND STORMS NEAR ALEXANDRA SPRINGS IS GOING TO BE HEADING EAST TOWARDS MOSQUITO GROVE VERY SOON. THE HEADS UP FOR YOU FOLKS THERE AND YOU CAN SEE THE STORMS ARE VERY, VERY ISOLATED, MEANING MOST OF US ARE DRY, BUT THAT WILL BE CHANGING LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. OUR COASTAL AREAS WILL BE TAKING THE BRUNT OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, AS THE WEST COAST BREEZE REALLY TAKES OVER. SO BY 6 TO 7:00, WE’LL SEE SOME LIGHTNING OUT THERE AND SOME HEAR SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER, MOSTLY FOR I COUNTIES FLAGLER, VOLUSIA AND BREVARD. RIGHT NOW, THE ORLANDO METRO COULD SEE AN ISOLATED SPRINKLE. THAT’S WHY I JUST HAVE A 20% CHANCE OF RAIN. BUT THE BULK OF THE RAIN TODAY, IF WE DO SEE ANY, IS GOING TO BE MOSTLY EAST OF ORLANDO AND A COUPLE ISOLATED STORMS LIKE WHAT WE’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW. WELL, NORTH OF ORLANDO. SO FULL FORECAST. I’M STILL CALLING FOR A GREAT ONE BECAUSE WE’RE LOOKING AT HIGH OF 97 THIS AFTERNOON. RAIN CHANCES ARE FAIRLY LOW. AND THEN AS WE GO INTO MIDWEEK WE’RE GOING TO SEE THOSE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS STICK AROUND. AND BY THURSDAY, WITH THIS HIGH PRESSURE MOVING AWAY, THAT’S GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR HIGHER RAIN CHANCES, ESPECIALLY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY OF THIS WEEK. AND THAT’S DEFINITELY REFLECTED HERE AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR CENTRAL FLORIDA CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE SEVEN-DAY FORECAST. NOTICE WE GO FROM A 20% CHANCE OF RAIN TODAY, WHICH IS EXTREMELY LOW FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, TO A 60% COVERAGE FOR THURSDAY. 50% CHANCE OF RAIN ON FRIDAY AND THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND. WE’VE GOT SOME STORMY WEATHER, ESPECIALLY FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOO
