SO THEN COMING BACK THIS MORNING, THINKING, OH, WOW. YEAH. IT’S HUMID. IT’S RAINING THIS MORNING. IT’S DEFINITELY A CHANGE. AND OF COURSE, OBVIOUSLY WE STILL NEED THE RAINFALL FOR SOME LOCATIONS BECAUSE WE’RE STILL UNDER A DEFICIT OR WE ARE IN A DEFICIT OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. BUT ALL AT ONCE IT’S A LOT AT ONE TIME. RIGHT NOW WE’RE SEEING A LOT OF HEAVY RAINFALL FOR PARTS OF THE CAPE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PARTS OF MELBOURNE AND BREVARD COUNTY. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT FIRST WARNING RADAR, MUCH OF OUR INLAND SPOTS ARE DRY. WE’RE JUST GOING TO BE WATCHING THIS MORNING OR AS OUR COASTLINE FOR SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS AND SOME HEAVIER DOWNPOURS, EVEN AT TIMES. WE HAD A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN PARTS OF THE CAPE, SO FROM PORT SAINT JOHN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ROCKLEDGE, COCOA, COCOA BEACH, SATELLITE BEACH, MELBOURNE, WE HAVE PLENTY OF RAINFALL AND SOME OF THAT IS TRYING TO WORK INTO PARTS OF EASTERN ORANGE COUNTY AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT SHOWERS IN PARTS OF FLAGLER COUNTY RIGHT AROUND FLAGLER BEACH. SO THIS MORNING WE’RE WATCHING THE RADAR FOR OUR COASTLINE. SOME OF YOU, ESPECIALLY IN BREVARD COUNTY, WILL NEED THAT UMBRELLA AS YOU GET THE KIDS READY FOR SCHOOL. AND THEN WHEN YOU PICK THEM UP FROM SCHOOL, ONCE AGAIN, WE’LL HAVE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. AND THESE ARE GOING TO DEVELOP PRETTY QUICKLY ALL MORNING LONG. THERE MAY BE A COASTAL SHOWER OR TWO. INLAND SPOTS SHOULD BE ON THE DRIER SIDE WITH A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS, BUT AT TIMES MORE CLOUD COVER INSTEAD OF SUNSHINE. 3:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL THEN QUICKLY DEVELOPS AND THAT’S GOING TO LAST ALL THROUGHOUT THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AS WELL. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT 12 HOUR FORECAST QUICKLY INCREASING TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND LUNCHTIME, AND THEN UP TO A 60% COVERAGE BETWEEN 3 AND 5:00 THIS EVENING. AND BECAUSE THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ARRIVE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER ON IN THE DAY, HIGH TEMPERATURES TOP OUT AROUND 83 TO 89 DEGREES. WE HAVE A LOT OF MOISTURE IN PLAY, AND IT’S ALL THANKS TO FRANCINE. NOW, FRANCINE IS NOT GOING TO DIRECTLY IMPACT US, BUT IT’S GOING TO PUSH A LOT OF THIS HUMID AIR INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA, WHICH IS WHY OUR RAIN CHANCES ARE GOING TO BE HIGH. STILL OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY THOUGH, WE’RE DOWN TO A 50% COVERAGE. THEN LOOKING AHEAD TO THE WEEKEND, ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAY, WE’LL START TO GET DRIER. A NEW LOW WILL TRY TO DEVELOP OUT IN THE ATLANTIC, WHICH WILL NOT IMPACT US, BUT MODELS SUGGESTING THIS WILL MOVE INTO THE CAROLINAS AS EARLY AS MONDAY, OR EVEN TUESDAY. BUT FOR NOW, NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER HAS NOT TAGGED THIS AS AN AREA TO WATCH, BUT DEFINITELY GOING TO BE BIG IMPACTS FOR THE CAROLINAS IN TERMS OF RAIN AND SOME WIND WATCHING. INVEST WHAT WE CALL 93 L AND 80% CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. COULD GRADUALLY GET ITS ACT TOGETHER AND RIGHT NOW, NOT LOOKING LIKE A HUGE IMPACT FOR FLORIDA. STILL PLENTY OF TIME TO WATCH. MOST MODELS HAVE THIS EVENTUALLY STRENGTHENING LATER ON. NEXT WEEK AND INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND, AND THIS WILL TRY TO AT LEAST SOME OF THE MODELS SHOWING THIS WILL TRY TO MOVE INTO PARTS OF CENTRAL ATLANTIC, SO WE’LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE TROPICS, BUT RIGHT NOW WE’RE JUST WATCHING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HERE LOCALLY. AND THEN LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK. MONDAY AND TUESDAY WE GET A BIT OF A DRI
