Storm chances return to Central Florida this afternoon | May 13 forecast

Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:01]IT’S EARLY.

[00:00:02]A LITTLE BIT OF HOPE.

[00:00:03]A LITTLE BIT OF HOPE GOES A LONG WAY THIS MORNING.

[00:00:06]THERE’S A LOT OF CLOUD COVER OVER TOP OF US.

[00:00:09]IT’S NOT GOING TO BE THAT PICTURESQUE START, BUT I WANTED TO POINT SOMETHING OUT BECAUSE WE’RE NOW WITHIN ABOUT A TWO WEEK WINDOW OF THE TYPICAL START OF CENTRAL FLORIDA’S RAINY SEASON, WHEN COLD FRONTS STOP AND THOSE DAILY SEA BREEZE STORMS START.

[00:00:23]WE DO HAVE A FRONT IN THE AREA, EVEN THOUGH IT’S DEAD.

[00:00:26]IT’S A STATIONARY FRONT, WHICH IS WHY IT’S GOT THE BLUE AND THE RED, BUT THERE’S STILL A FRONT IN THE AREA.

[00:00:32]AND FURTHERMORE, IF WE LOOK AT THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST, WELL, YEAH, WE’VE GOT STORMS IN THERE TODAY.

[00:00:37]WE GO DRIER FOR OUR THURSDAY, FRIDAY BECAUSE OF THAT FRONT.

[00:00:40]SO WE’RE NOT THERE YET.

[00:00:41]BUT WATCH HOW QUICKLY THE ATMOSPHERE WANTS TO THROW THE RAINS BACK.

[00:00:44]SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY.

[00:00:45]WHILE IT’S NOT A DELUGE OF RAIN, IT’S BACK TO THE DAILY SHOWERS AND STORMS.

[00:00:51]SO WE’RE TRYING TO GET THERE.

[00:00:53]WE’RE ALMOST THERE MY FRIENDS.

[00:00:54]BUT FOR TODAY, HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS MORNING.

[00:00:57]A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS.

[00:00:58]DON’T BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD IF DRIVING INTO WORK, HEADING OVER TO CLASS, YOU’VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN ON THE WINDSHIELD THROUGH 10:00.

[00:01:05]I THINK THIS MORNING.

[00:01:07]CLOUD STARTS TO CLEAR.

[00:01:08]WE’LL GET SOME SUNSHINE.

[00:01:09]AND THEN AFTER LUNCHTIME, 1 OR 2:00, WE’LL START WITH SOME RAIN AROUND AND THEN WE’LL BRING THAT EAST COAST SEA BREEZE IN 4:00.

[00:01:16]THAT WILL HELP TO POP UP A FEW ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS, ESPECIALLY OUT ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN.

[00:01:22]SO THAT’S WHERE WE’RE AT.

[00:01:24]MORE OF A TYPICAL WEATHER PATTERN THAN WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY.

[00:01:28]MAGIC KINGDOM CLOSES AT 530, BY THE WAY, BECAUSE MY FAVORITE ARTIST ON THE PLANET, DAVE MATTHEWS, IS DOING A CONCERT THERE.

[00:01:34]SO ANY WAY THAT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE MAGIC KINGDOM AT ABOUT 6:00 TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN SUPER COOL, BUT I DIGRESS.

[00:01:40]IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT TO THE PARK, IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

[00:01:42]JUST HAVE TO HAVE THE PONCHO READY TO GO.

[00:01:44]IF YOU’RE GETTING INTO THE BACKYARD SWIMMING POOL, IT’S AN OKAY DAY UP TO ABOUT THE POINT WHERE WE GET THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS.

[00:01:50]THEN IT’S GOING TO BE A NOT SO GOOD DAY OUTSIDE THIS MORNING, WE SEE THE CLOUD DECK TO VARIES.

[00:01:55]IT’S A THICK CLOUD DECK.

[00:01:56]A LITTLE BIT OF THAT MOON SHINING THROUGH HERE AT OUR PORT CANAVERAL TOWER.

[00:02:00]CAM FIRST WARNING LIVE RADAR SCANNING AND FINDING NOTHING OVER TOP OF US.

[00:02:04]JUST SOME OFFSHORE RAINS THAT ARE NOT GOING TO BOTHER US AT ALL.

[00:02:08]SO THE 12 HOUR FORECAST, THEN WATCHING THOSE TEMPERATURES CLIMB 80 DEGREES BY NOON, 86 DEGREES, OUR 3:00 TEMPERATURE, AND YOU SEE THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX IS WHEN WE’LL GET THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS AROUND AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE MID 80S.

[00:02:21]HIGHEST COVERAGE OF RAIN IS GOING TO BE THE METRO OFF TO THE EAST, ESPECIALLY HERE INTO BREVARD COUNTY.

[00:02:26]BUT THAT COVERAGE IS HIGHEST FOR INDIAN RIVER, SAINT LUCIE AND MARTIN COUNTIES BECAUSE THERE’S A LITTLE MORE ENERGY DOWN THAT WAY.

[00:02:32]A HIGH RISK OF RECURRENCE IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT THAT DIRECTION.

[00:02:35]THIS STORM SYSTEM JUST KIND OF CHURNING IT UP.

[00:02:36]SO KEEP THAT IN MI
