STORMS EXPOSING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS MILES ABOVE THE SURFACE.
>> ALL THAT SUNSHINE. WE’VE
SEEN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS
HAS CERTAINLY TAKEN A GOOD
AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. WE’RE
TAKING A LOOK AT A CLOUDY DAY
OUT THERE. ONE THAT DOESN’T
REALLY HAVE A LOT OF SHOWERS
IN IT. BUT WE DO HAVE THE
WARMTH. IT’S A PRETTY MILD
DAY. AND IT’S ALSO KIND OF
ROUGH SURF OUT THERE. A LOT OF
BOARD RIDERS ARE ALONG THE
BEACHES AND MORE PEOPLE IN THE
WATER SURFING THAN WALKING
ALONG THE BEACH. I DON’T KNOW
WHY MAYBE WE’VE GOT SOME JOBS
HERE. BUT WHO COULD BE THOSE
CLOUDS? THAT’S NOT AS SUNNY AS
THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. AND
IT’S GOING TO BE A WHILE,
PROBABLY NOT TILL SATURDAY
BEFORE WE SEE THAT SUNSHINE
COME BACK AS STRONG AS WHAT IT
WAS EARLIER IN THE WEEK. IT’S
76 DEGREES THERE IN JAX BEACH
AND WARMER 80 HERE IN
JACKSONVILLE. HOW ABOUT THAT?
FEELS VERY NICE OUT THERE. BIG
WARM-UP. THAT’S THE LAST TIME
YOU’RE GOING TO SEE 80’S.
PROBABLY AT LEAST A COUPLE
WEEKS. SO WE’RE GOING INTO A
PATTERN CHANGE ONE THAT WILL
NOT BE AS WARM AS THIS FOR
SOME TIME TO COME. NOW AS TAKE
A I CAN JUST KIND OF CONFIRMED
THAT WE’RE NOT SEEING MUCH IN
THE WAY OF RAIN OUT THERE.
THERE’S THIS ONE BATCH OF RAIN
AND THE WATCHING THIS TO SEE
IF YOU CAN CUT IN TOWARDS
FERNADINA. BUT IT’S MAINLY
SCOOTING. THE COASTAL AREAS
JUST KIND OF SLIDING TO THE
NORTH. SO THIS RAIN IS AS IT
MOVES OFF TOWARDS THE NORTH
REALLY WANT IMPACT THOSE OF
YOU AROUND THE MILLION ISLAND.
BUT WE COULD SEE A BRIEF
SHOWER OR 2 WITH THAT ONE
CELL. THERE WILL BE A SMALL
CHANCE FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS AS
WE HEAD THROUGH THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
HOURS. OTHERWISE LOOK FOR
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. AND WE’RE
WAITING FOR THE FRONT TO COME
THROUGH OVERNIGHT. THAT FRONT
WILL PUSH ALL THE HEAVY RAINS
OVER CENTRAL SOUTH FLORIDA
AWAY FROM US. SO WE’RE NOT
WORRIED ABOUT THE WET
CONDITIONS THAT WILL BE
CREEPING UP TOWARDS THE
ORLANDO AREA, NOR ARE WE
WORRIED WITH THE RAIN WITH
THIS FRONT. THIS FRONT IS
ACTUALLY GOING TO COME THROUGH
RELATIVELY DRY. A LOT OF THIS
MOISTURE IS GOING TO SLIDE
TOWARDS OUR EAST. SO LESS
SUNSHINE HERE TODAY. TOMORROW,
IT’S GOING TO BE WINDY. A
LITTLE BIT COOLER. IN FACT,
WHEN DO THOSE WINDS KICK IN?
WELL, NOT UNTIL THE MORNING
HOURS. SO THIS AFTERNOON,
PRETTY CALM. AND THEN TOMORROW
MIGHT HAVE SOME AREAS OF FOG
AROUND GAINESVILLE, PALATKA
WITH THIS CALM CONDITIONS.
CERTAINLY NOT IN WAYCROSS BY
6.30, FRONT HAS ALREADY
PASSED. YOU AND THEN AS A LOT
OF FOLKS DRIVING TO WORK,
THOSE WINDS WILL BE PICKING UP
AS THE FRONT SLIDES ON IN. AND
SINCE THOSE WINDS COULD GUST
UP TO ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR.
JUST BE MINDFUL. IF YOU ARE
DOING OUTSIDE WORK WITH
LADDERS, GOING TO BE BLOWN
AROUND THAT EASTERLY FLOW IS
THE REASON WHY TEMPERATURES TO
REALLY DROP OFF A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT BEHIND THIS FIRST
FRONT. THAT WILL WAIT UNTIL
TUESDAY WITH A MORE POWERFUL
WIND WARMING. CLOUDY
CONDITIONS HERE TODAY. AND
THEN TOMORROW WE’RE GOING TO
SEE THOSE HIGHS DROP DOWN TO
ABOUT 70 DEGREES IN MOST OF
YOUR AFTERNOON SPENT IN THE
60’S WITH THAT STIFF BREEZE
OUT OF THE NORTHEAST WILL
FINALLY START TO SEE SOME
CLEARING TAKING PLACE OVER THE
WEEKEND WITH A SMALL CHANCE
FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
FLAGLER AND SAINT JOHN’S. BUT
THAT FRONT WAY DOWN OVER SOUTH
FLORIDA. THAT BRINGS BACK THE
SUNSHINE FOR US HERE AND WE’LL
SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THERE TO
THAT FORECAST. NOW, NOTICE
HERE. THIS IS INTERESTING. SEE
HOW TEMPERATURES HERE IN
SOUTHERN GEORGIA IN THE 50’S
AND 60’S ALONG THE COAST KNOWS
HOW THE COAST DOESN’T REALLY
DROP OFF FROM OVERNIGHT LOWS
TONIGHT TO TOMORROW NIGHT,
WHEREAS IT CERTAINLY GETS A
LOT COLDER THERE IN GEORGIA.
SO THAT WIND’S STAYING UP OVER
THE WEEKEND IS REALLY GOING TO
HOLD UP THE TEMPERATURES ALONG
THE I-95 CORRIDOR BACK TOWARDS
THE WEST REALLY WON’T FEEL
CHILL. BUT THOSE INLAND
CERTAIN AREAS CERTAINLY WILL
AS THEY DIVE DOWN INTO THE
50’S AT NIGHT. BUT YOUR
DAYTIME HIGHS ACTUALLY STAY IN
THE 70’S OVER THE WEEKEND. AND
THEN HERE’S THAT BIGGER DIP
THEM TALKING ABOUT ON TUESDAY.
THIS IS THE POLAR FRONT THAT
COMES THROUGH WITH COLD
CANADIAN AIR AND WE COULD BE
SETTING UP SO THAT WEDNESDAY
MORNING WE COULD SEE OUR FIRST
FREEZE, POSSIBLY A FROST IN
JACKSONVILLE. THE FREEZE WOULD
NOT BE IN JACKSONVILLE RIGHT
NOW. LOOKS LIKE IT BE MAINLY
AROUND THE WAY ACROSS THE
AREA. BUT THIS IS A QUICK LOOK
AHEAD TO THANKSGIVING EVE SAID
THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING IN
MOURNING, WE COULD SEE
TEMPERATURES DOWN INTO THE MID
TO UPPER 30’S. SO THAT WOULD
LIKELY BE THE COOLEST AIR OF
THE SEASON AS WE THINK AHEAD
TOWARDS THE HOLIDAY. RIGHT. SO
TODAY’S FORECAST, WELL, WE’RE
GOING TO BE SEEING THOSE
TEMPERATURES STARTING THE
LITTLE BIT COOLER TOMORROW
COMPARED TO TODAY. AND THAT
WILL BE WITH THE FIRST FRONT.
THE SECOND FRONT COMES THROUGH
ON MONDAY SAID NONE OF THE
SYSTEMS REALLY INTERFERE WITH
YOUR FOOTBALL PLANS. A SMALL
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IN THE MIX.
THAT’S MAINLY WELL SOUTH OF
THE STADIUM ACROSS SAINT JOHNS
AND FLAGLER COUNTIES. SO AT
LEAST NEXT WEEK, THANKSGIVING
LOOKS BONE DRY AND WILL
ACTUALLY BE SEEING
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60’S
NEAR 70 DEGREES ONCE
THANKSGIVING ROLLS AROUND
ALREADY. START THINKING ABOUT
YOUR DINNER PLANS. I DON’T
