Isolated Strong And Severe Early Evening Thunderstorms in Central Florida - Monitoring Memorial D...

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:03]SUMMER.

[00:00:03]INTERESTING.

[00:00:04]I’LL SAY THAT.

[00:00:05]ALL RIGHT, LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON OUTSIDE.

[00:00:08]YESTERDAY WE WERE DEALING WITH A LOT OF THUNDERSTORMS, A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN OUT THERE TODAY, NOT A REPEAT, BUT WE ARE DEFINITELY DEALING WITH SOME RAIN OUT THERE.

[00:00:16]YEAH, WE’LL SEE SOME SHOWERS IN VERY SIMILAR AREAS.

[00:00:18]BUT YESTERDAY THE RAIN FELT LIKE IT WAS NEVER GOING TO END.

[00:00:22]WE NEED IT HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, BUT SOMETIMES TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING CAN HAVE SOME DETRIMENTAL IMPACTS IN WHICH WE WERE WATCHING OUT FOR FLOODING CONCERNS WEST OF THE I-4 CORRIDOR, LAKE GRIFFIN, 4.35IN OF RAIN TOUCHED DOWN YESTERDAY.

[00:00:35]FRUITLAND PARK 4.13 STILL ABOVE FOUR INCHES IN THE VILLAGES AND JUST BELOW THAT, GROVELAND AND MASCOT.

[00:00:41]STILL ABOVE THREE INCHES, YOU SEE OUT TOWARDS I-75 FROM THE VILLAGES THROUGH LEESBURG, CLERMONT AND WILDWOOD.

[00:00:48]THAT’S WHERE OUR HEAVIEST RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS DID TAKE PLACE.

[00:00:51]AND WE CAN SEE THAT SEA BREEZE INTERACTION BEGINNING TO SET UP IN A VERY SIMILAR WAY THAT WE SAW YESTERDAY.

[00:00:57]WINDS ARE A LITTLE BIT FASTER ACROSS I-4.

[00:00:59]TAKE A LOOK AT BITHLO SAINT CLOUD JUST EAST OF IT.

[00:01:02]EXCUSE ME, FROM THE SOUTH AND THE EAST, BUT WE’LL MEET UP WITH THIS WESTERLY BREEZE.

[00:01:07]NOT AS STRONG AS IT WAS YESTERDAY, BUT STILL STRONG ENOUGH TO SPAWN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.

[00:01:11]WARNING THAT WE DID SEE ALREADY.

[00:01:13]STILL A STRONG STORM ACROSS SOUTHERN SUMTER COUNTY.

[00:01:16]GOING TO BE ACTIVE UNTIL ABOUT 630.

[00:01:18]WE’VE DROPPED THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM TAG.

[00:01:20]NEVERTHELESS, THOUGH WE COULD STILL SEE SOME STRONGER WINDS AND WE HAVE CERTAINLY SEEN MASSIVE HAIL FOR A BRIEF MOMENT IN TIME.

[00:01:28]THIS WAS JUST BEFORE THE 6:00 HOUR, FREEZING IT RIGHT AT 553.

[00:01:32]HERE WE HAD ABOUT 2.5IN IN DIAMETER FOR YOUR HAIL THERE, AND THEN BACK OFF TOWARDS THE EAST ACROSS ORLANDO.

[00:01:38]A BRIEF SHOWER IS WHAT YOU SAW JUST A MOMENT AGO THAT’S NOW FADED, JUST LIKE THE ONE ACROSS THE TURNPIKE IN OSCEOLA COUNTY.

[00:01:45]AS WE SPRING OUT TOWARDS THE WEST, HERE’S WHAT’S MOVING ACROSS SUMTER ALONG STATE ROAD 471, A COUPLE LIGHTNING STRIKES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SHOWER.

[00:01:52]BUT ONCE THAT WEST COAST SEA BREEZE BEGINS TO PUSH INLAND, WE COULD SEE SOME MORE RAIN DEVELOP ACROSS I-75.

[00:01:58]BACK IN ORLANDO, TEMPERATURES HAVE COOLED FROM THE LOWER 90S INTO THE 80S ALREADY, AND THAT’S THE POWER OF THE RAIN SHOWER THAT YOU SAW JUST BEFORE 6:00.

[00:02:06]ELSEWHERE, STILL HOLDING ON TO THE 90S IN OCALA.

[00:02:09]THE VILLAGES AND WILDWOOD.

[00:02:11]BUT IT FEELS EVEN WARMER THAN THAT.

[00:02:13]IT’S A HOT AND HUMID MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND FOR US.

[00:02:16]PLACING YOUR HEAT INDEX AT 103 DEGREES IN THE VILLAGES, WE’LL SEE SIMILAR HEAT INDICES TOMORROW, BUT AS WE TAKE YOU THROUGH FUTURECAST TONIGHT, THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.

[00:02:26]WE COULD STILL SEE SOME HEAVIER RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS I-75 BACK UP TOWARDS THE NORTHWEST INTO MARION COUNTY.

[00:02:31]THIS IS BEFORE THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, SO EVENTUALLY THE RAIN TAPERS OFF.

[00:02:35]WE’RE LEFT WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES.

[00:02:37]WE WAKE UP TO THE SUNSHINE TOMORROW AS TEMPERATURES HOLD THEIR PLACE IN THE 70S.

[00:02:41]SO WARM AND A LITTLE BIT MUGGY TONIGHT AS STORMS BEGIN TO CALM DOWN, BETTER CHANCES FOR RAIN TOMORROW WILL BE BACK ACROSS I-75 AS WE SEE THAT SIMILAR EAST TO WEST FLOW FOR YOUR SHOWERS.

[00:02:51]SO ACROSS THE COASTLINE, YOU COULD WAKE UP TO SOME LIGHTER RAIN THAT WILL BEGIN TO PICK UP ITS INTENSITY AS WE MOVE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON.

[00:02:58]ONCE WE REACH THOSE MAXIMUM DAYTIME HEATING TEMPERATURES, WITH SHOWERS TRAVELING OUT TOWARDS THE WEST, AND THEN IT’S MORE OF THE SAME ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

[00:03:05]MOVING THROUGH THE MIDWEEK.

[00:03:06]WE COULD HAVE SEE THAT INCREASE OF SHOWERS MOVING AT THE TOWARDS THE BACK END OF YOUR WORKWEEK FORECAST, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF TROPICAL MOISTURE BEGINNING TO SLIDE IN, NOTHING TO REALLY WORRY ABOUT.

[00:03:14]WE NEED THE RAIN HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.

[00:03:16]WE COULD HAVE A LOT OF IT COMING YOUR WAY STARTING ON FRIDAY
