Orlando AM Weather Forecast: Cooler weather on the way

I'm Yeah, that's pretty dramatic to see. It's amazing the power of water. But if you think about it, water carved the Grand Canyon. starting I was thinking that exact same thing. It's happened before. It'll happen again or whatever. You get this kind of rain and there's that kind of force. It leaves behind a trail for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Well, with the flooding we've got now, we were talking about this a little bit earlier. There's the flood stage to and then there's the amount of water you'll actually see impacting you. speak. And we're at a point where in some of the access roads along Lake Pointe in the Brevard County area west of Cocoa where they're experiencing what's being called In the flood stage, major flooding, they've got several inches of water on some of those access roads, but it hasn't yet reached the homes, maybe at the driveway level. And a lot of the homes are elevated on pier and beam, or actually elevated on beams. So they're designed, if you will, to experience high water at times. So as far as the St. John's actually entering living spaces, that's very much yet to be determined. At this point, this is nowhere near hurricane Ian levels, but we're going to be looking at flood stage for the next several weeks as it will be very slow to fall. So in other words, boat ramps, the parking lots to those boat ramps, some docks will be underwater, but several inches. Thank you. As far as homes go, a lot of them are built just far enough away and just high enough to avoid sort of the run-of-the-mill flooding that can happen in these situations that have happened many times before in Florida's history. But right now, obviously, with catching over two feet of rain in spots last week in Brevard County, all that water's got to go somewhere. And after a couple of the major flood gauges we got, we're a moderate flood with medium impacts there. Flooding possible on some of the roads there, some of the neighborhood roads. and DeLand, we're just below a minor flood level, and in Sanford, at minor flood level. Lake Harney is at moderate, expected to rise to major, but that doesn't necessarily mean major impacts. We're looking at medium impacts right now on Lake Harney. More of the same where we could have a lot of those access roads, a lot of the roads in those neighborhoods experiencing inundation with a couple of inches. but yet to be determined if they'll actually reach living spaces. That said, access to those homes, obviously, when you're looking at water on the roads, you've got to be extremely careful. Well, 63 degrees. The big weather story for us is warm weather for the next few days and then a cool down this weekend. Here's a live view in Melbourne, Indian River. This is from the Launch Credit Union camera. 67 degrees right now. A few ripples in the water. Big changes in temperatures depending where you are in Florida. Look at that. 74 down in Miami and Fort Palm. We have 46 in Tallahassee and we're sitting in the middle here at about 63 in Orlando. Of course, we expect this every season where you have these huge temperature swings. Big state. All right, it is the 10th of November and getting out the door this Tuesday morning. We'll go from 62 at 6 to 66 at 8. Patchy fog possible north of Orlando, although at this point I haven't seen any cameras with any kind of noticeable fog on them, but that's certainly a potential over the next hour and a half or so as we head toward daybreak that we could see fog developing. 10 o'clock will be warming up and any fog clearing out long before with mid-70s. So, the cold front. He gets here on Thursday, bringing in that cooler air, and by cooler, I should say colder, because by Saturday morning, 45 degrees will be the temperature in the Orlando area, and it's going to be breezy. It is going to be cold. You're going to step outside and think, what happened? Where am I? Have I woken up in a city up north? Well, it's not going to be freezing in the afternoons by any stretch of the imagination, but it will only get up into the 60s. But with the warm sunshine, it'll feel pretty good for a lot of us. Not going to last forever either, just a couple of days of it, but a reminder of the time of the year that we are in. Now, tomorrow, Wednesday, we may see a few isolated storms popping up, especially east and south of Orlando as that front approaches. But this isn't a big rainmaker, and if any storms do form, they're going to be in and out in 20 minutes or so, no threat of flooding. Now in the big picture, we've got a subtropical jet stream connection to this system and that's getting a little more oomph to this cold front coming through. And speaking of, that subtropical jet stream born from a very strong El Nino. This is a temperature anomaly map of the sea surface temperatures off of South America. There's Florida at the top and it's amazing to think that something happening down there affects us here in Florida. That's why we're making a special tracking El Nino winter weather threat that airs tonight on Fox 35 at 7 p.m. We hope to see you there. We're going to talk all about the impacts we expect here, which could be significant at times this winter. 84 degrees today, 83 tomorrow. Tomorrow is Veterans Day. There's about a 30% to 40% chance for some showers and maybe a storm. Then chilly weather as we head into the end of the work week. 69 Friday, 64. That's it on Saturday. Morning lows in the 40s through Sunday. All right, let's get a look at our Sky Fox traffic in a second. First off, snap the sun. Oh, snap. Here we go. Pam in Daytona catching a nice shot here of some surfing waves crashing and a distant downpour. Which is, in some ways, kind of obscuring or eclipsing the rising sun. There's a lot going on in that picture right there, Jessica. I can almost see a rip current as well. I'd love to show your photos. Scan that QR code. Upload them here and we'll feature them on Good Day Orlando.
