Tropical moisture fuels rain, storms in Central Florida this weekend | Impact Weather

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:01]WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3RD AT 730, RIGHT AFTER LOCAL NEWS AT SEVEN.

[00:00:05]ALL RIGHT, TIME NOW TO TURN YOUR FOCUS BACK TO THE WEATHER, BECAUSE WE COULD SEE MORE RAIN AND STORMS TO KICK OFF THE START OF OUR WORKWEEK.

[00:00:11]METEOROLOGIST MARQUISE VITO JOINING ME RIGHT NOW.

[00:00:12]MARQUISE.

[00:00:13]WE SEE IT LIT UP A LITTLE BIT FOR THE REST OF OUR EVENING.

[00:00:15]RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO BE MORE OF THE SAME TOMORROW.

[00:00:18]THAT IS CORRECT.

[00:00:19]THE GOOD NEWS IS THE SHOWERS THAT WE SAW HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA START A LITTLE BIT EARLY.

[00:00:23]SO THAT MEANS THEY’RE GOING TO FINISH EARLY AS WELL.

[00:00:27]SEE THAT THREAT FOR SEVERE AND IMPACTFUL WEATHER.

[00:00:29]PUSH OFFSHORE JUST AFTER SUNSET.

[00:00:31]BUT RIGHT NOW GRAY SKIES STILL REMAIN IN THE PICTURE ACROSS PORT CANAVERAL.

[00:00:35]HAVEN’T SEEN THE RAIN QUITE YET, BUT A NEW BATCH WILL BE MOVING IN SHORTLY.

[00:00:39]TEMPERATURES SHOW 79 DEGREE CONDITIONS, SO THE CLOUDS AND THE SHOWERS HAVE CERTAINLY COOL THINGS DOWN ACROSS BREVARD COUNTY.

[00:00:45]77 IN TITUSVILLE, NEW SMYRNA BEACH.

[00:00:47]JUST A HOP, SKIP AND A JUMP ACROSS VOLUSIA COUNTY.

[00:00:49]YOU’RE BACK IN THE LOWER 80S AND YOU SEE SIMILAR NUMBERS INLAND WHERE WE HAD SOME SHOWERS IN ORLANDO A SECOND AGO.

[00:00:54]WE’VE BEEN WATCHING OUT FOR A FLOOD THREAT ACROSS THE EYE AND I-95 CORRIDOR.

[00:00:58]THE FURTHER NORTH AND EAST YOU GO, THE GREATER THE FLOOD THREAT HAS BEEN.

[00:01:02]RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SOME STRONG STORMS IN THAT AREA ACROSS NORTHERN BREVARD COUNTY.

[00:01:07]ALSO VOLUSIA COUNTY.

[00:01:08]WE’RE MONITORING THOSE LOTS OF LIGHTNING STRIKES ASSOCIATED WITH THESE SHOWERS HERE.

[00:01:11]BUT ALL OF THE RAIN THAT WE’VE SEEN OUT WEST HAS MADE ITS WAY TOWARDS THE EAST.

[00:01:16]THIS IS A STRONG STORM IN NORTHERN BREVARD COUNTY, AFFECTING THE PORT SAINT JOHN AND TITUSVILLE AREA.

[00:01:23]OVER 50,000 PEOPLE HERE IN WHICH WIND SPEEDS COULD BE UP TO 50MPH.

[00:01:28]WE’VE NOTICED SOME HAIL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STORM.

[00:01:30]HAILSTONES UP TO HALF AN INCH IN DIAMETER FURTHER NORTH.

[00:01:33]THIS IS A STRONG STORM ACROSS I-95 AND US ONE IN VOLUSIA COUNTY.

[00:01:37]YOU SEE IT RUNNING ACROSS OAK HILL, ALSO INTO SCOTTSMOOR FOR BREVARD COUNTY, IN WHICH THE RAINFALL ACCUMULATION RATE, I DO BELIEVE, IS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 4 AND 5IN IN CERTAIN AREAS.

[00:01:47]SO RAIN BEING A MAJOR THREAT THERE IN THE LAST STRONG STORM WE HAVE IS ACROSS THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE IN KINGSVILLE, ACROSS 441 HERE, STILL GUSTY WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PARTICULAR STRONG STORM.

[00:01:58]AND WATCH THAT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS BEGIN TO PUSH EAST.

[00:02:01]IT’S ACTUALLY RACING TOWARDS THE EAST.

[00:02:03]SO BY 7:00, 8:00, LOOKS LIKE OUR COASTAL SHOWERS ARE SLOWLY COMING TO AN END.

[00:02:07]AND WHAT WE’RE LEFT WITH ARE CLOUDY SKIES ALONG THE I-4 CORRIDOR PUSHING SOUTH AND TOWARDS THE WEST, KEEPING OUR TEMPERATURES WARM OVERNIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.

[00:02:16]YOUR DAY PLANNER STARTS OFF CLOUDY AND IT QUICKLY TURNS TO RAIN SHOWERS YET AGAIN AS WE’LL BE WATCHING OUT FOR THAT THREAT.

[00:02:23]FOR IMPACT WEATHER, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST.

[00:02:25]JUST LIKE WHAT WE SAW TODAY, RAIN CHANCES VERY REMINISCENT OF WHAT WE DID SPEND YOUR WEEKEND WITH THROUGHOUT THE WORKWEEK THAT WE’LL WATCH THIS COLD FRONT, A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHIFT TOWARDS THE SOUTH THAT WILL GIVE US BETTER CHANCES FOR SHOWERS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY IN THE MORNING.

[00:02:40]AND WE COULD STILL SEE SOME IMPACT WEATHER ON MONDAY AS WELL.

[00:02:44]BUT THE BIG SHIFT IN OUR FORECAST WILL BE THIS BLAST OF DRIER AIR TOWARDS THE BACK END OF YOUR WORKWEEK.

[00:02:50]AND ALSO THIS WE HAVE AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE BEGINNING TO GROW ACROSS THE GULF.

[00:02:54]IT’S GOING TO PRESENT THE WESTERN GULF COAST WITH A LOT MORE RAIN, AS THIS FRONT ACTS AS A BARRIER, ALMOST A DEFLECTING PIECE.

[00:03:01]THIS AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WANTS TO TAKE THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE AND WANTS TO DO RUN UP AGAINST THAT FRONT AND PUSH TOWARDS THE WEST.

[00:03:08]BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR US HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, BUT WE’RE STILL GOING TO MONITOR A FLOOD THREAT TODAY.

[00:03:13]AND ALSO ON TUESDAY WITH THAT WEAK COLD FRONT DESCENDING SOUTH OF THE I-10 CORRIDOR AND THEN PUSHING INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA HERE, AS WE START OFF THE WORKWEEK, WE’RE CLOUDY ON MONDAY.

[00:03:22]WE SEE THESE BANDS OF RAIN PUSHING TOWARDS THE COAST THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING, SO WE’LL BE WATCHING OUT FOR ANY HEAVY SHOWERS COMING UP.

[00:03:30]BUT AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR LONG RANGE MODEL COMPARISONS, THE GFS MODEL WANTS TO PULL THAT FRONTAL BOUNDARY FURTHER TOWARDS THE SOUTH.

[00:03:37]AND WHAT THAT’S GOING TO DO IS KEEP THAT MOISTURE OUT TOWARDS THE WEST IN THE GULF.

[00:03:41]SO THAT WILL BE THE BETTER OF THE TWO SCENARIOS FOR US HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.

[00:03:45]REGARDLESS THOUGH, THE EUROPEAN GOING A LITTLE BIT HEAVIER ON THE RAINFALL.

[00:03:48]GFS KEEPING MOST OF YOUR RAIN 1 TO 2IN ALONG THE COAST IN WHICH WE’LL SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO SHIFT AS WE HEAD OUR WAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WORKWEEK.

[00:03:56]MORE SUNSHINE THOUGH, ON THE BACK E
