Early Evening Showers, Tropical Weather Update

ALL RIGHT. LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON WEATHER WISE. SLIGHTLY LOWER GAS PRICES. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE TRAVELING THIS WEEK, BUT VERY HOT OUTSIDE. SO YOU MAY WANT TO BE TRAVELING SOMEWHERE WITH AN AIR CONDITIONER. THAT’D BE NICE, RIGHT? OR JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET THE FAN ON AT LEAST IN YOUR CAR RIGHT? BUT GAS PRICES ARE GOING DOWN. TEMPERATURES ARE GOING UP. HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR HIGHS FOR TODAY. WE’RE BACK IN THE LOWER 90S HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. A COUPLE EXCEPTIONS AND THOSE ARE ACROSS THE COAST. WE HAD 88 DEGREE HIGHS OUT TOWARDS NEW SMYRNA BEACH. 89 IN TITUSVILLE AND WHEN WE ROUND OFF YOUR I-95 QUARTER WITH 88 DEGREE HIGHS IN MELBOURNE AND PALM BAY AS WELL, LOWER 90S EVERYWHERE ELSE AS TEMPERATURES WEREN’T THE ONLY THING THAT DID FEEL RATHER OPPRESSIVE TODAY. WE ALSO HAD A LOT OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY, MAKING THE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES PUSH PAST THE TRIPLE DIGIT BARRIER. IT’S BEEN A WARM MONTH OF JUNE. OVERALL, TODAY IS THE LAST DAY IN 24 DAYS OUT OF THE 30. DID HAVE TEMPERATURES AT OR ABOVE 90 DEGREES, AND THAT TOOK OUR HIGH TO 92.6. SO YOU’RE NEARLY TWO DEGREES ABOVE YOUR SEASONAL AVERAGE. AND I’VE GOT A STRONG FEELING WE’LL CARRY THE HEAT INTO THE MONTH OF JULY AS WELL. HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR TOWER CAM FACING ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL, IN WHICH WE’RE SPORTING A PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. TEMPERATURES ARE BACK IN THE LOWER 80S NOW AFTER THE COURTESY OF A COUPLE QUICK HITTING SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS STILL COMING OUT OF THE SOUTH AND THE SOUTHEAST. AND WAS THAT SOUTHERLY COMPONENT THAT WARMED UP THE TEMPERATURES TODAY. THE EASTERLY COMPONENT SUPPLIED US WITH THAT AMPLE ATLANTIC MOISTURE. SO HERE’S WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY 80 ON THE DOT IN OCALA. WE HAVE SOME RAIN MOVING ACROSS MARION COUNTY, HENCE THE REASON FOR COOLER TEMPERATURES 90 AT PALM COAST, 89 IN DAYTONA, AND WE’VE GOT 82 DEGREES TEMPERATURES RIGHT HERE IN ORLANDO. YOUR DEW POINTS, THOSE ARE BACK IN THE MID AND THE UPPER 70S AS WE ARE STAYING HUMID EARLY TONIGHT. BUT HERE’S A LOOK AT THAT RAIN. MOST OF IT IS CONCENTRATED ACROSS I 75. WE SEE ALL THE LIGHTNING STRIKES ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE SHOWERS. AND THESE WILL STAY OVERHEAD FOR MAYBE ANOTHER HOUR OR TWO, LIKELY FADING JUST AFTER SUNSET. GOT A COUPLE SHOWERS OUT TOWARD SALT SPRINGS. HERE’S WHAT THE HIGHER CONCENTRATION OF RAIN DOES. LINE THAT’S WEST HERE IN SUMTER COUNTY, ACROSS RUTLAND. LIKE LAKE PANASOFFKEE BUSHNELL. YOU GUYS HAVE THAT RED SHADE ABOVE YOU WHICH WILL INDICATE RAINFALL RETURN RATES OF UP TO AN INCH, MAYBE EVEN TWO INCHES IN JUST AN HOUR’S TIME SPAN. SO WE COULD HAVE SOME SERIOUS RAINFALL RETURNS. AND HERE IS THE ONLY RAIN THAT WE GOT OUT EAST. IT’S TOWARDS PALM BAY AND MELBOURNE. A QUICK HITTING SHOWER RACING NORTH ACROSS I 95. FUTURECAST HAS THE SHOWERS STILL ACROSS. I 75. AS WE MAKE OUR WAY INTO SEVEN EIGHT 9:00. BUT BY TEN MOST OF US WILL BE CHECKING OUT PARTLY CLOUDY OR MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. WE’LL CARRY THAT INTO THE MORNING TOMORROW IN WHICH WE’RE TRENDING DRY TO START OFF YOUR WORK WEEK, BUT SHOWERS ULTIMATELY WILL RETURN LATER IN THE AFTERNOON. CHECKING OUT THE TROPICS. WE HAVE THREE SYSTEMS ON OUR RADAR THAT’S TROPICAL DEPRESSION THREE. THAT’S A NEW HURRICANE BERYL, WHICH CONTINUES TO GROW IN TROPICAL WAVE. INVEST 96. SO HURRICANE BERYL NOW A CATEGORY FOUR. IT’S GOING TO BE CONTINUING TO BUILD ITS STRENGTH AS IT PASSES OVER THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. AND THEN WE SEE THAT TRIP TOWARDS THE WEST IN WHICH IT DOWNGRADES TO A CATEGORY THREE. WE STILL HAVE WARNINGS AND WATCHES IN PLACE ACROSS THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. AND THEN WE COULD POSSIBLY SEE THAT TURN TOWARDS CENTRAL AMERICA, IN WHICH WE’LL KEEP YOU UPDATED. IF IT DOES MOVE FURTHER OUT TOWARDS THE NORTH, YOUR BEACH AND BOATING FORECAST FOR TOMORROW SHOWS HUMID CONDITIONS EARLY ON. SHOWERS AROUND BY NOON FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES CROSS OVER INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS INLAND TOMORROW. SO WE’RE HOT AND HUMID ONCE AGAIN AND THEN WE HAVE THOSE REPEAT RAIN SHOWERS MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. STILL TO COME. OVERALL THOUGH, WE NEED THE RAIN HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA AS WE’RE ALL SHOWING A DROUGHT AND WE COULD HAVE MORE CONCENTRATED RAIN ACROSS. I 75. BEFORE WE FINISH OFF YOUR WORK WEEK, WHICH DOES INCLUDE CHANCES FOR RAIN ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40 AND 60% WITH SEASONAL TEMPERATURES, THOUGH IN TH
