Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]IN THE SUMMERTIME, I DON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING.

[00:00:03]WE JUST GET ENOUGH RAIN.

[00:00:05]AND WE’RE GEARING UP FOR MORE RAIN COMING OUR WAY.

[00:00:07]RIGHT GUYS?

[00:00:08]A LOT OF RAIN, A LOT OF RAIN.

[00:00:10]YOU KNOW, THEY ALWAYS SAY IT’S LIKE, YOU KNOW, FEAST OR FAMINE, RIGHT?

[00:00:14]JUST YOU WAIT BECAUSE, WELL, WE’VE BEEN FOR MONTHS DISCUSSING HOW DRY WE ARE.

[00:00:18]THE PATTERN IS SHIFTING.

[00:00:19]THIS IS JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED.

[00:00:20]OKAY.

[00:00:21]BUT I’M TELLING YOU, IT’S GOING TO BE IMPACTFUL IN THAT THERE’S A LOT OF RAIN COMING.

[00:00:25]SO IMPACT WEATHER.

[00:00:26]THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, EVEN MONDAY.

[00:00:28]OKAY.

[00:00:29]AND BASICALLY IT’S NOT, IT’S NOT JUST YOUR RUN OF THE MILL.

[00:00:35]TYPICAL AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS.

[00:00:37]WE’RE WATCHING BROAD LOWERING PRESSURES IN THE GULF.

[00:00:40]THIS IS NOT GOING TO BECOME A TROPICAL STORM OR A HURRICANE, BUT ESSENTIALLY WE’VE GOT TWO THINGS PLAYING OUT HERE.

[00:00:46]THE PRESSURES ARE LOWERING, FUNNELING UP MOISTURE.

[00:00:49]AND THEN THERE’S A COLD FRONT FROM THE NORTH TRAVELING DOWN AND JUST TRAPPING THIS FUNNEL RIGHT OVER TOP OF US.

[00:00:56]SO WE END UP WITH THIS WIND FLOW JUST PUMPING MOISTURE AND MOISTURE AND MOISTURE.

[00:01:00]SO WE’RE LOOKING AT A SEVERAL DAY RAIN EVENT WITH THE BIG CONCERN OF FLOODING AROUND CENTRAL FLORIDA.

[00:01:06]SO YOU’LL SEE ON THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST, WE DON’T DO THIS VERY OFTEN WHERE WE’VE GOT DAYS OF IMPACT WEATHER.

[00:01:13]BUT LOOK AT THAT RAIN COVERAGE 70 TO 80%.

[00:01:16]YEAH, WE’RE IN A SUMMER PATTERN WITH TODAY AND TOMORROW AT A 5,060%.

[00:01:20]BUT THERE’S THAT ADDED INCREASE.

[00:01:21]AND AT THE MOMENT, IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE IT’S GOING TO BE A COMPLETE WASHOUT DAYS.

[00:01:25]IT JUST MEANS THAT WHEN WE GET INTO THE RAINS, THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT.

[00:01:28]SO A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS MORNING.

[00:01:31]THE MODELS CONTINUE TO BACK OFF ON ANY EVEN WHISPER OF TROPICAL ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT.

[00:01:35]IT’S JUST GOING TO BE RAIN AND A LOT OF IT.

[00:01:39]SO DEFINITELY HAVE TO KEEP TABS.

[00:01:40]AND TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THIS IS THE FORECAST.

[00:01:43]THIS IS NOT A MODEL.

[00:01:45]THIS IS THE FORECAST RAIN OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS TIME, 3 TO 5IN WIDESPREAD.

[00:01:51]SO THAT IS EXCELLENT NEWS.

[00:01:52]ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE SOME FLOODING LOCALIZED THAT WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

[00:01:56]BUT WE’LL HELP YOU NAVIGATE.

[00:01:57]IN THE MEANTIME, HERE’S TODAY LUNCHTIME.

[00:01:58]LOOKING GOOD.

[00:01:59]POPPING UP THE SHOWERS, EVEN A FEW THUNDERSHOWERS.

[00:02:02]3:00 AND YOU NOTICE BASICALLY ORLANDO OFF TO THE WEST IS GOING TO BE THE AREA THAT SEES THOSE RAINS TODAY.

[00:02:13]IF YOU LIVE OUT THERE, IT’S GOING TO BE KIND OF BEDTIME OR PAST YOUR BEDTIME.

[00:02:18]THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 11:00.

[00:02:21]IT LOOKS LIKE THEN INTO TOMORROW MORNING NOTICE 5:00 FUTURECAST.

[00:02:25]STILL WITH THAT RAIN AROUND, QUIETING LATE MORNING TOMORROW.

[00:02:29]BUT BY ABOUT LUNCHTIME, DEVELOPING THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE.

[00:02:48]AND WE’RE WATCHING SOME RAINS HERE IN COASTAL VOLUSIA COUNTY.

[00:02:51]BUT FOR NOW, THAT’S ALL WE’VE GOT.

[00:02:53]HEADING TO THE BEACH TODAY.

[00:02:54]HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS.

[00:02:56]SURF RUNNING 2 TO 3FT, LOTS OF MOISTURE.
