Tag: Rainy Labor Day weekend

FROM THE SPACE FORCE STATION OUT AT CAPE CANAVERAL. BUT THERE ARE WEATHER CONCERNS. I KNOW FOR OUR LABOR DAY WEEKEND. FIRST WARNING METEOROLOGIST KELLIANNE KLASS IS HERE NOW FILLING US IN. KELLIANNE. WHAT DO WE HAVE? YEAH. SO UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE LOOKING AT HIGH RAINFALL COVERAGE, ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAY AND ON MONDAY AS WELL. SATURDAY. I THINK THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY ACTUALLY IS NOT GOING TO BE THAT BAD IN THE MORNING. WE’LL START OFF WITH MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS AND MORE RAINFALL MOVES IN, AND THEN EVENTUALLY WILL TRACK SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS UP TO ABOUT A 60% COVERAGE. AND THEN SUNDAY AND MONDAY WE ARE LOOKING AT MORE RAINFALL, WHICH IN TURN IS GOING TO DROP OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES INTO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 80S. AND IT’S ALL THANKS TO A FRONT THAT’S GOING TO STALL OUT OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA AGAIN SATURDAY. WE’RE LOOKING OKAY IN THE MORNING SUNDAY. THIS IS WHEN WE’RE REALLY GOING TO BE WATCHING FOR WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS. NOW, I THINK IF YOU ARE BACK TOWARDS THE WEST, WE’LL HAVE LOWER ACCUMULATIONS OF RAINFALL, ABOUT 1 TO 3IN OF PRECIPITATION. BUT THE FARTHER YOU GO TOWARDS THE EAST OR CENTRAL AND EASTERN SPOTS, THE HIGHER RAIN ACCUMULATIONS YOU’LL SEE AROUND 2 TO 4IN OF PRECIPITATION. SO BECAUSE OF THAT, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH ESPECIALLY SUNDAY AND MONDAY FOR THE POTENTIAL OF SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING. ON SATURDAY, IT IS GOING TO BE FOCUSED FROM ORLANDO AND ON EAST, BUT EVEN STRETCHING BACK TOWARDS THE NORTHWESTERN LOCATIONS AROUND THE MARION COUNTY AREA. AND THEN ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY, WE’LL WATCH THAT FLOODING POTENTIAL ALL ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. BUT WE’RE NOT LOOKING AT WIDESPREAD FLOODING FOR CENTRAL FLORIDA OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. I DO WANT TO GET YOU A LOOK AT DOWNTOWN ORLANDO, BECAUSE IN THE MID-LEVELS OF OUR ATMOSPHERE, WE HAVE SOME FOG DEVELOPING, NOT QUITE MAKING IT TO THE SURFACE. YET HERE IN THIS VIEWPOINT, BUT WE’RE STILL LOOKING AT SOME FOG STARTING TO DEVELOP AND GET A LITTLE BIT MORE THICK AROUND THE AIRPORT, AT LEAST RIGHT NOW. TECHNICALLY, THE AIRPORT IS REPORTING BETTER VISIBILITIES, BUT WE’RE STILL NOTICING SOME PATCHY FOG IN AND AROUND THE AREA. THE REST OF CENTRAL FLORIDA LOOKING OKAY FOR NOW, BUT I AM GOING TO MONITOR THAT FOG THROUGHOUT THE MORNING HOURS. SO PATCHY FOG AS YOU GET THE KIDS READY FOR SCHOOL. WHEN YOU PICK THEM UP. WE’RE GOING TO BE TRACKING RAIN AND EVEN SOME THUNDERSTORMS AROUND, BUT REALLY FOCUSING ON OUR CENTRAL AND EASTERN SPOTS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. AND TODAY’S RAIN COVERAGE IS GOING TO BE RIGHT AROUND 50% DURING THOSE EVENING HOURS. THINK FIVE, SIX, 7:00 THIS EVENING. NOW, TODAY OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES MOSTLY REACH THE LOW 90S, A COUPLE OF UPPER 80S FOR OUR INLAND SPOTS AND OUR COASTLINE INTO THE MIDDLE 80S AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE DAY. TODAY, MAYBE 1 OR 2 DEVELOPING SHOWERS ALONG OUR WESTERN LOCATIONS AROUND 12 ONE, 2:00. AFTER THAT, A LOT OF THAT RAINFALL BEGINS TO PUSH INTO OUR CENTRAL AND OUR EASTERN LOCATIONS. AROUND 4:00 5:00 IN THE EVENING THROUGH ABOUT 730, 8:00 TONIGHT. AFTER THAT, TOMORROW MORNING, A LOT OF US WAKE UP DRY. MAYBE JUST A COUPLE OF SHOWERS ALONG OUR COASTLINE. AND THEN TOMORROW AFTERNOON, OUR RAINFALL. THEN QUICKLY DEVELOPS. CENTRAL FLORIDA CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST SHOWS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASING UP TO A 70% COVERAGE ON SUNDAY AND ON MONDAY UP TO A 60% COVERAGE WI
