THAT’S GOING TO IMPACT US ALL TODAY. KELLIANNE THIS WEATHER, THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS ARE THEY GOING TO BE FAST MOVING? I REALLY THINK IT DEPENDS. GOING INTO THE LATE MORNING HOURS. NO, BUT ONCE IT STARTS TO KIND OF PICK UP SOME STEAM, IT WILL EVENTUALLY PUSH THROUGH. I THINK ONE THING THAT WE’RE REALLY GOING TO BE WATCHING IS FOR JUST A COUPLE OF ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE FIRST ROUND, ARRIVING LATE MORNING, EARLY AFTERNOON, AND THEN ANOTHER ROUND LATE TONIGHT, WHICH THAT 1ST MAY NOT BE ON THE STRONG AND SEVERE SIDE. SO WE TALK ABOUT A SEVERE WEATHER RISK FOR TODAY. IT’S GOING TO BE MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WE HAVE A LOT OF HEAT. WE HAVE A LOT OF HUMIDITY COUPLED WITH A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THAT WILL BRING US THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT REALLY TURN STRONG AND SEVERE. I THINK MUCH OF CENTRAL FLORIDA WILL BE UNDER SOME SORT OF SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IF YOU’RE IN KISSIMMEE. UH, COCOA BEACH, MERRITT ISLAND, EVEN AREAS UP NORTH, YOU ARE IN A LEVEL ONE OUT OF FIVE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT, INCLUDING PARTS OF SEMINOLE COUNTY. BUT AREAS NORTH OF SEMINOLE COUNTY, A LEVEL TWO OUT OF FIVE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. NOW, KEEP IN MIND IF YOU ARE TRAVELING, LET’S SAY TO JACKSONVILLE, EVEN LAKE CITY THIS MORNING, ESPECIALLY LATE MORNING, EARLY AFTERNOON, YOU’RE LOOKING AT A LEVEL THREE OUT OF FIVE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT, MEANING NUMEROUS STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. IT’S ALL THANKS TO THIS AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WORKING THROUGH ALABAMA RIGHT NOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT. AND THAT IS RACING TOWARDS NORTH FLORIDA. SO WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS MORNING IS TO GET THE KIDS READY FOR SCHOOL. WE’RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT RAINFALL, BUT WHEN YOU PICK THEM UP, WE MAY BE WATCHING SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION. SO LET’S TIME IT OUT HOUR BY HOUR. 11:00. WE’RE LOOKING AT A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WORKING INTO PARTS OF MARION COUNTY, FLAGLER COUNTY THAT THEN PUSHES OFF THE COASTLINE AROUND NOON. WE’LL GET ANOTHER BREAK IN THAT RAINFALL AROUND 130 AND TWO. HERE, THOUGH, COMES A SECOND LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND THREE, FOUR AND FIVE LEADING TO SCATTERED RAINFALL AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. 6:00 COUPLE OF SHOWERS ALONG I 95 IN BREVARD COUNTY. WE’LL START TO DRY OUT GOING INTO THE LATE NIGHT HOURS, BUT THEN OVERNIGHT. THIS IS WHEN FUTURECAST PICKS UP ON MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVING. WILL THESE BE SEVERE? I DON’T THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE TOO CONCERNED ABOUT A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT OVERNIGHT. MAYBE 1 OR 2 BRINGING SOME GUSTY WINDS, BUT THE BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL ARRIVE LATE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THEN BY THE TIME YOU WAKE UP ON SATURDAY, WE’RE COMPLETELY DRY AND QUIET. SO WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW IS THAT FROM ABOUT 10:00 THIS MORNING IN OUR NORTHERN LOCATIONS, ALL THE WAY UNTIL 6:00 THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR 1 OR 2 ISOLATED, STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS, WIND AND HAIL BEING THE BIGGEST CONCERN. I WILL BE WATCHING ALSO THE POTENTIAL OF TORNADOES, THOUGH THAT IS NOT A HUGE CONCERN FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THEN THIS WEEKEND WE’RE SUNNY, DRY, BUT WARM TEMPERATURES IN TH

Today will be an Impact Day for strong/severe storms this afternoon. There will be two waves of storms. The first arriving this afternoon/evening. Another round is possible late tonight. Showers & storms will push into our northern locations after 10a and slowly work south throughout the day. Our northern locations have the best possibility to see scattered strong/severe storms while areas between Orlando and Marion/Flagler will have an isolated severe weather threat. Wind and hail will be the biggest concerns with anything that turns severe. An isolated tornado or two cannot be ruled out. The second round of showers & storms may not be strong enough to produce severe storms, however, that is something we will watch.Rain and storms clear out by sunrise tomorrow leading to a sunny and dry day ahead. This Mother’s Day weekend will be sunny, dry, and warm. Highs reach the lower 90s.Our pattern turns active next week as showers & storms are back in the forecast.
