And before they got to school, they were already gone. Well, tell them not to lose those jackets because it’s going to be terribly cold there when we get to the bus stop on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. So when we look at the seven-day forecast, there are plenty of ups and downs. OF COURSE THE RISK WILL BE THE CHANCE FOR ONE OR TWO MILDLY SEVERE STORMS TOMORROW. THEN THE COLDER WEATHER SHORTLY MOVES IN ON THURSDAY. YOUR CHRISTMAS MORNING WILL BE COMFORTABLE HERE BUT A LITTLE COOLER IN THE NORTH AND WEST AREA AND ONLAND CURRENT AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND MEANS THERE WILL BE SOME SHOWERS ALONG THE COAST. Speaking of holiday cheer and the colder temperatures, boy is the OCALA course well lit and looking good. Although it’s a mild night up there, at least tonight. 73 NOW UP THERE, 74 BACK TOWARD MELBOURNE. THIS FRONT HERE HAS BEEN MOVING SLOWLY, BUT IT WILL GET A BOOST TO THE SOUTH AND EAST WITH A SECONDARY STRONGER FRONT THAT WILL OVERTAKE THIS. And that’s what’s going to make things a little interesting here, especially along the West Coast. COME TOMORROW. QUIET OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, MILD TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60S. Pretty comprehensive. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS COASTAL BREVARD COUNTY. THEY WILL CHOOSE A NIGHTTIME LOW TOMORROW NEAR 70 DEGREES AGAIN. YOU MAY SEE A SERIES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHING Interstate 75. Pretty early in the morning, right at the end of the morning commute. By midday, as we approach the I-4 corridor here, one or two of these storms could again be briefly strong, if not mildly severe. But notice how they weaken as they push away from the shore. EARLY AFTERNOON. SO THE DRYER AND COOLER AIR CAN BUILD UP QUICKLY ON WEDNESDAY, FROM THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. For the most part, precipitation totals are less than a quarter of an inch of rain. HERE IN THE GREEN IS THE GREATEST RISK OF SINGLE, STRONG OR SEVERE STORMS. SUMTER, MARION LAKE, THE WIDE NORTHWEST SECTIONS OF VOLUSIA AND UP TOWARD FLAGLER COUNTY. Perhaps the biggest concern for me is the damaging wind gusts. There could be an isolated tornado along the west coast, but I think we’ll be fine for our viewing area. Check out these times tomorrow. TONIGHT. This occurs in the early afternoon and then decreases rapidly throughout the afternoon. 74 OCALA 82 DOWN TOWARD MELBOURNE AND PALM BAY BEFORE THE FRONT WORK UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON. BIGGEST RISK, BIGGEST IMPACT OF THE STORMS. LATE MORNING, EARLY AFTERNOON. Then look for temperatures to drop as we move deeper into the evening, a compliment to this very strong cold front that will build from north to south during the late afternoon hours. COME TOMORROW, 35 THURSDAY MORNING IN OCALA, 44 IN ORLANDO. AND IF THE WIND FALLS ENOUGH WE MAY HAVE SOME SPOT FREEZING UP THERE IN MARION COUNTY. We will keep you updated on this. 44 50, 62 BIG CHANGES ARE COMING AGAIN. JUST ONE DAY OF REALLY COLD AIR. That’s a good sign that the city’s early Friday morning food drive will be in the 50s, 60s at 10 a.m. and 70s by early afternoon. Then we head into the weekend, deep easterly currents, a few showers on the coast. THIS FRONT WILL NOT MAKE IT INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA. So let’s recap everything. WEDNESDAY SHOWER AND STORM. COLD AND FRESH ON THURSDAY.
