[00:00:01]THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[00:00:02]YOU DO HAVE A NICE WATCH.

[00:00:03]THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[00:00:04]I LIKE IT.

[00:00:05]ALL RIGHT, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FORECAST, SHALL WE?

[00:00:07]WE’VE GOT A VERY COMFORTABLE START TO THE DAY OUT THERE.

[00:00:11]IT’S GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL ONE.

[00:00:13]HUMIDITY IN THE KIND OF MORE COMFORTABLE REGISTER.

[00:00:16]BUT LOOK AT THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

[00:00:18]THAT MUGGY METER PUTS US BACK INTO HUMID TERRITORY.

[00:00:21]AND BY LATE WEEK WE ACTUALLY GET INTO A STEAMY TERRITORY.

[00:00:24]SO AS THE HUMIDITY IS BUILDING, THAT MEANS THAT’S GOING TO BE KIND OF AIR YOU CAN WEAR, SO TO SPEAK.

[00:00:30]THAT ALSO MEANS THAT OUR HEAT RISK INCREASES LATER THIS WEEK.

[00:00:32]SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND.

[00:00:33]ALL RIGHT.

[00:00:34]LET’S LOOK AT THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST BECAUSE YES HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S.

[00:00:39]AND WE ONLY CROSS TO 90.

[00:00:41]BUT THAT HUMIDITY BUILDING MAKES OUTDOOR WORK JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE OMINOUS.

[00:00:45]AND IF YOU DON’T TAKE FREQUENT WATER BREAKS COULD EVEN BE DANGEROUS.

[00:00:48]SO KEEP THAT IN MIND.

[00:00:50]THAT SAID, IN TERMS OF RAIN CHANCES TODAY, A LITTLE SUBDUED BECAUSE OF THAT DRIER AIR.

[00:00:55]BUT NOTICE TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY WE’VE GOT THAT RAIN CHANCE CONTINUING TO BUILD 3040.

[00:01:01]EVENTUALLY THIS WEEKEND, EVEN 50% COVERAGE.

[00:01:03]SO YEAH, WE’RE GETTING THERE.

[00:01:05]THE PROBLEM, THOUGH, IS THAT LOOKING AT THE RAIN ACCUMULATION, THERE’S JUST NOT MUCH.

[00:01:10]WE’VE GOT A HALF INCH OF RAIN OR LESS NOW.

[00:01:13]MOST OF TOWN THIS WEEK.

[00:01:15]THE NEXT FIVE DAYS DOES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT THERE’S NOT TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS.

[00:01:20]SO WHEN WE LOOK TO THE YEAR MELBOURNE, YOU’RE SITTING PRETTY CLOSE TO AVERAGE.

[00:01:25]THE REST OF US, ESPECIALLY ORLANDO, SANFORD AND LEESBURG, YOU ARE RUNNING FOUR, FIVE, EVEN SIX, 6.5IN BEHIND WHERE WE SHOULD BE.

[00:01:34]SO CERTAINLY A DROUGHT PERSISTS.

[00:01:35]WE ARE ABOUT NINE DAYS AWAY FROM THE AVERAGE START OF THE WET SEASON, EVEN THOUGH WE NOTICE ON THE TRENDS, WE HAVE A PRETTY DECENT OPPORTUNITY FOR RAIN THESE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

[00:01:45]ELSEWHERE, JUST BRIEFLY WANT TO MENTION BIG SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK EXPECTED TODAY ACROSS THE PLAINS, A LEVEL FOUR OUT OF FIVE RISK FOR WIDESPREAD STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS UP THAT WAY.

[00:01:55]SO KEEP THAT IN MIND.

[00:01:57]FRIENDS OR FAMILY MAKE SURE THEY ARE AWARE OF IT THERE THIS MORNING.

[00:02:01]MEANWHILE, IT’S COMFORTABLE LOWS IN THE 70S AND NOTICING ON OUR TOWER CAM NETWORK A PARTLY CLOUDY SKY.

[00:02:07]NOTHING ON TOP OF US IN TERMS OF RAIN.

[00:02:10]ON OUR FIRST WARNING LIVE RADAR FORECAST TODAY.

[00:02:13]DOES ADD A FEW SHOWERS IN THERE, ABOUT A 10 TO 20% COVERAGE, 88 BY 1:00, 89 DEGREES, OUR 3:00 TEMPERATURE.

[00:02:21]AND THEN IT’S A SLUGGISH DROP OFF FROM THERE.

[00:02:24]SO AN ONSHORE WIND THAT’S WHAT’S BRINGING IN A COUPLE OF SHOWERS TODAY.

[00:02:28]RISING RAIN CHANCES LOOKING AT TOMORROW.

[00:02:30]BUT WHAT CAUSES THE HUMIDITY TO BUILD.

[00:02:33]IT’S AN OLD FRONT THAT BASICALLY JUST SANDWICHES US IN WITH MOISTURE.

[00:02:37]SO BECAUSE OF THAT YAY US.

[00:02:39]IT GETS WARMER.

[00:02:40]AND MUGGIER SEVEN DAY FORECAST REVEALING IT UPPER 80S LOWER 90S BUILDING RAIN CHANCES, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND.

[00:02:46]AND THAT’S AN INTERESTING KIND OF CORRESP
