Strong cold front to bring gusty winds, high surf and rain to Central Florida coast
TAKEN TO JAIL AND CHARGED. ALL RIGHT, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER. A VERY UGLY START TO OUR WEEKEND. WET, WINDY. AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S NOT GOING TO STOP ANYTIME SOON. NO, WE’RE GOING TO ACTUALLY CARRY IMPACT WEATHER THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND ACROSS SUNDAY, PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE WINDS. I WONDER IF THAT BAG WAS FLYING BECAUSE OF THE WIND. I HAVE A BABY WHO? OH. BUT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT BAG OF COCAINE? I’M GOING TO BRING UP MY BABY’S BIRTHDAY TOMORROW. I DIDN’T KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING WITH IT, BUT YES, YOU HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY TOMORROW, AND I JUST. I’M AFRAID THAT THREE YEAR OLDS ARE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, CARRIED AWAY IN THE WIND OUT THERE. IT’S GOING TO HAVE TO GO INDOORS. YEAH. DEFINITELY INDOORS. I DON’T THINK THE RAIN IS GOING TO BE MUCH OF A FACTOR TOMORROW AS IT WAS TODAY. WE’RE STILL SEEING SOME SHOWERS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, BUT ALL THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON WE WILL BE BREEZY TOMORROW WITH THAT WIND ADVISORY LIFTING LATER IN THE DAY ON SUNDAY. RIGHT NOW THOUGH, ACROSS NEW SMYRNA BEACH, WELL EARLIER AS A MATTER OF FACT, DIDN’T HAVE MANY FOLKS ON THE SHORELINE DUE TO THE WINDS. I DO THINK THAT OFFICIALS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB AT GETTING THE SPRING BREAKERS, AND ALL THE LOCAL RESIDENTS INDOORS, BECAUSE WITH WINDS LIKE THIS, WE DO POSE OTHER THREATS. ACROSS THE COASTLINE. THERE’S A GALE WARNING IN PLACE. ALSO A HIGH RIP CURRENT THREAT. AND ON TOP OF THAT, YOU DO HAVE THE WIND ADVISORY ALL ACROSS OUR COASTAL BEACHES. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. YOUR WINDS RIGHT NOW ARE SUSTAINED AT 23MPH IN NEW SMYRNA. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, BUT IT’S THE BREEZE THAT IS ELEVATING YOUR WAVE HEIGHTS. THESE WAVES ARE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 9 AND 12FT. THIS IS JUST US PINGING THE WAVE HEIGHTS HERE. BUT ULTIMATELY, AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE REST OF YOUR WEEKEND AND INTO THE START OF THE WORKWEEK, WAVES CAN ACTUALLY MOVE ALL THE WAY UP TO 10 TO 15 FOOT CONDITIONS ON SUNDAY. THEY START TO COME DOWN MONDAY, BUT STILL PRETTY HIGH. SO DANGEROUS CONDITIONS STILL LIE OUTDOORS ON MONDAY. HEADING INTO TUESDAY, THE RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS HIGH ALL THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. IT’S DANGEROUS FROM PALM COAST ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PALM BAY, AND THAT’S COURTESY OF THE COLD FRONT THAT MOVED IN IN CENTRAL FLORIDA TODAY. AND OUR LAST ADVISORY THAT WE HAVE FOR YOU IS THE GALE WARNING IN PLACE WITH THOSE STRONGER GUSTS CONTINUING ALL THE WAY ACROSS YOUR SUNDAY AS WELL. HERE’S A LOOK AT THAT COLD FRONT. GOING TO REALLY JUST PARK ITSELF ACROSS SOUTHERN FLORIDA. BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WIND AND THE RAIN. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE WIND THOUGH. THESE ARE YOUR CURRENT WIND GUSTS IN BREVARD COUNTY. NOTICE MELBOURNE. YOU GUYS STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB. YOU JUST HAD A GUST OF 45MPH AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE BREEZY WELL AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT TOMORROW. TAKE A LOOK EARLY IN THE MORNING. ON SUNDAY. WINDS ARE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 25 AND 35MPH, YET SOME ADDITIONAL HEAT FROM THE AFTERNOON. NOW YOUR WINDS COULD SURGE CLOSER TO 40 MILE PER HOUR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE COASTLINE, WHICH IS WHY WE’RE KEEPING THAT WIND ADVISORY ALL THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON ON SUNDAY. THEN IN THE EVENING, THE WINDS SLOWLY START TO SUBSIDE. WILL DROP DOWN BELOW 20 MILE PER HOUR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE I-4 CORRIDOR. BUT THAT’S EXACTLY WHERE WE’RE SEEING THE RAIN RIGHT NOW. A COUPLE SHOWERS MOVING ABOUT THE AREA OUT TOWARDS DELAND. VERY LIGHT RAIN. WE HAD A COUPLE OFF AND ON AGAIN SHOWERS ACROSS SOUTHERN BREVARD COUNTY PUSHING ACROSS OSCEOLA INTO YEEHAW JUNCTION. AND THIS IS THE MOST WIDESPREAD RAIN THAT WE’VE SEEN SO FAR IN THE METRO FROM MEADOW WOODS THROUGH LAKE HART, ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO CELEBRATION ACROSS I-4. YOU GUYS ARE CURRENTLY DEALING WITH THE RAIN SHOWERS THEY’VE ACCUMULATED BETWEEN HALF AN INCH, MAYBE AN INCH, AND A QUARTER AT THE MOST. NOW WE NEED ALL THE RAIN THAT WE CAN GET, BUT THESE SHOWERS WILL FIZZLE OUT JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE SKY WILL BEGIN TO PART WAYS. YOU’LL ACTUALLY WAKE UP TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES TOMORROW ONCE THESE SHOWERS COME TO AN END. BUT WE WILL BE BREEZY TO FINISH OFF YOUR WEEKEND AS WELL. FORECAST FOR OVERNIGHT DOES HAVE TEMPERATURES ANYWHERE BETWEEN 59 AND 69 DEGREES. TOMORROW. WE STALL IN THE 70S. SMALL CHANCES FOR RAIN, BUT BETTER CHANCES FOR THOSE STRONGER WIND GUSTS THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. AS WE START OFF THE WORKWEEK, THIS EAST COAST FLOW IS GOING TO BRING IN SOME MOISTURE, SO WE COULD EXPECT SOME SHOWERS ON MONDAY, POSSIBLY TUESDAY. ULTIMATELY, AT MOST WE MIGHT SEE 1 TO 2 MORE INCHES OF RAIN HEADING INTO THE MIDDLE OF YOUR WORK WEEK, IN WHICH WE’LL SEE THE SUNSHINE AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY. KEEP IN MIND, IMPACT WEATHER IS STILL ONGOING TOMORROW DUE TO THE WIND. TH
