News getting results
good morning Central Florida it is
Thursday and that means it's time for
ask trooper Steve and Steve this morning
we're talking about Christmas lights on
cars you know where we talked about it
last year gonna talk about it again
because I thought I was getting pulled
over last night so Chris mr. Kringle of
Christmas Christmas Florida of course
goodness has anything changed with the
rules on putting Christmas lights on
your car well simply put no they haven't
this is a little elaborate elaborate
this is actually a real car that was
used as a taxi that's 100% illegal here
in the state of Florida but no you can't
put those lights in the car because
they're distracting I know it call me
trooper Grinch if you want to you just
can't have them because sometimes they
could be kind of making people think
that's a cop car I saw yesterday a
minivan with lights on top of it and
they were flashing and it was about 7:30
at night I was driving to the store and
I swear I thought I was getting pulled
over so of course I'm not gonna say
anything to him but I figured we're
gonna talk about it here today yeah you
can land yourself a hundred and fourteen
dollar fine for having these lights on
your car so do me a favor
keep them at home and you know there's
some vandals out there that will
probably want to take them off your car
too but the Rudolph ears or that year's
the antlers antlers yeah and the nose on
the front that's all good mine's going

Senator Bill Nelson has delivered his
final address on the Senate floor Nelson
has held the seat since 2000 but lost to
Governor Rick Scott in a close election
last month during his final speech
Nelson urged his Senate colleagues and
future lawmakers to avoid putting party
over country and what has happened what
in the world has happened to civility
and to humility in our nation's public
discourse where our our servant leaders
who seek to serve instead of being
served bill Nelson's final day in office

dozens of children at Florida Hospital
after some special elves paid them a
visit yes they're very special members
of Orange County's Fire Rescue special
operation division rappel down the wall
the hospital yesterday and they were
dressed up as elves they ditched the
firefighter uniform for a little while
they even had personalized signs for the
patients after dropping by the elves and
Santa himself joined the kids inside for
a winter wonderland celebration so not
only seeing them outside like spider-man
getting to meet them I'm sure that was
big they come inside I wish they could
do that here our buildings not high
enough yes no they could try we have
some windows upstairs try to rappel over
but it wise we normally just see the
landscaping crew out that's true that's
the tree cutters yeah yeah yeah that
would be amazing to inside really nice
for those kids well today we're talking
about more clouds increasing so we're
gonna see that but not a lot of rain and
a nice warm up today so there's the good
news enjoy that because we got some
changes on the way heading into Friday
with a new front now the increased
clouds that we'll see today will be out
ahead of the front that moves in on
Friday mainly late Friday and that's the
time and we'll see a chance for some
stronger storms mainly after 5 o'clock
on through the evening hours Friday even
the early morning hours on Saturday
we'll have some lingering rain all of
this developing out in the Gulf we'll
see the front move through again
tomorrow so today well ahead of the
front you see the white there on the
imagery with the satellite some of those
are clouds high thin clouds will
see clouds on and off through the day
today but more of them than we saw
yesterday now here's a live view of the
Orlando health cam of downtown Orlando
we're gonna have a beautiful sunrise
with a mix of Sun and clouds when the
Sun comes up just after 7 o'clock the
winds light out of the north bringing in
some cool air we're at 58 degrees but
not nearly as chilly as we were this
time yesterday where many areas were in
the 30s and 40s even some 20s in Marion
County yesterday
right now it's 54 in Ocala 57 in Sanford
58 in Orlando 58 in Melbourne and 57 at
Daytona Beach but here's a look at the
pinpoint accurate forecast for today
notice the sky we will increase those
clouds through the day 66 will be the
temperature at noon with only a 20%
coverage of rain today well ahead of
that front up to 72 for the afternoon
high the average high of 73
so finally close to where we should be
if you've been complaining about all the
cold air and you want the heat to return
it's coming back of course the trade-off
will be a chance for some storms through
the evening tomorrow 64 will be the
temperature by 9:00 o'clock tonight
we're at 63 and 11 with a 30% coverage
of rain tonight so looking good for
evening plans just be ready for a couple
of showers there's the clouds and rain
forecast showing on-and-off clouds also
a few showers possible but not a lot
today it all comes in tomorrow notice
tomorrow evening seeing this leading
edge right ahead of the front some
stronger storms will be pinpointing that
carefully through the day tomorrow and
then early Saturday morning even a
chance for some rain along the actual
front then it clears out and then we
cool down through the weekend but highs
today in the low to mid 70s 75 in
Daytona Beach 72 in Orlando 74 in
Leesburg and 70 in Ocala here's the
seven-day forecast and notice those rain
chances going up considerably tomorrow
