Orlando Weather Forecast: Colder air coming

I keep forgetting about the time change. I keep forgetting it's getting darker an hour earlier tonight. Meteorologist Noah Bergen is back here now. Noah, are you tracking any showers out there this afternoon? No, we're dry, but as you guys saw today, it was just cloudy the entire day. This is indicative of the El Nino we're in. We're in the winter, you know, so often we always, everybody always says, it's winter in Florida, sunny, 75 every day, right? We come down here for the blue skies. Many people do. Well, not this winter. Today is a precursor, and I think we'll see a lot of this winter. This weekend, it's going to be sunny. Yeah, this weekend will be sunny. It's a little sunny, but today just the The complete day of cloudiness in a normal fall and winter. We would not have a lot of these, but we will have a lot of them in the coming months. Temperatures today, because of those clouds, were held in the 70s, just 79 today in Orlando for a high, 77 in Sanford, 77 in the Villages, and 75 today, the official high temperature in Melbourne. All right, some perspective for you. See here in the bottom, late October is 82, the average high. Late November, 76. By late December, it's 73. Then you see by middle of January right here, we've got temperatures that are about 71 for the typical high. The coolest time of the year here is about January 17th. The lowest the average high gets here in central Florida is mid-January. You don't need me to point out the cold front for you. I think you can see it right here. Boom. There it is. There's the cold front. Now it's moving this way for tomorrow night. So the cold is still well to our north. And you really got to go up to about Knoxville and Nashville to find the big drop in temperature. It's 56 now in Music City, 42 in Lexington, 39 in Pittsburgh. Hey, by the way, many of you might have ties to the northeast, Philly or New Jersey. Wild day of weather. I'll show this to you hopefully coming up on the news at 6. I'm going to try to get it in my forecast for you. Wait until you see the image if you haven't seen it. They had tornadoes today in Delaware. In New Jersey, first time in those states in about 45 years in the month of November. Highly unusual. Just think about it, right? How often do you hear about a tornado in New Jersey in November or in the winter? Almost never. So very wild weather up there today attached to the cold front. But the cooler air is coming our way heading into the weekend. All right, there's some rain in the Bahamas and the Keys today. That's going to stay well to the south of us here locally. We're pretty dry, and other than maybe a random sprinkle, most of us should be dry. Now, that's good news because we still have river flooding to contend with. The big impact is going to be the Cocoa area and up towards the Geneva area on the St. Johns. And this is talking about last week's flash flood, all that water still has to run off. The Cocoa area is still currently at major flood stage. We're not going to see any of the big jump or rise from this point on, but we're going to stay at major flooding. Especially in the Cocoa area for about another week or two. So if you live along the St. Johns. Maybe a slight increase in the next couple days, but it's going to stay pretty plateaued at moderate to major flooding for about another week to two weeks. All right, waking up tomorrow morning, mid-60s in Brevard, upper 50s in Volusia, about 60 in Orlando. The only cool spots tomorrow where you need a jacket is around the villages of Cala Gainesville. Unless you're in those places, it's not going to really be that cool tomorrow morning. The cooler doesn't really come in until the afternoon. Highs tomorrow. Low 70s for your Friday the 13th of November already. Now for the weekend the cold air is all because of this front coming on by and notice by let's say noon tomorrow we're pretty much sunny and it's very nice. Very dry air comes in from the deep south and heading into Saturday when you wake up Saturday morning. Oh it is so nice. Here's 9 a.m. Saturday. Look over Florida. See there's not a singular cloud but over the oceans there's clouds. You might wonder why that is. Your analogy is think about holding a hot cup of coffee. I just got my hand here, but hot cup of coffee, walk outside in a cold morning, what do you get? You get steam above it, right? Steam is basically a cloud. It is a cloud, in fact. So the cold air blows over the warm Gulf waters and the warm Atlantic waters and creates clouds. But over Florida... There's no clouds, so hence why you see the cutout of Florida. There's not a single cloud Saturday, but there's clouds over the water. It's a pretty fun weather fact to point out to you there. And it's all because of that big storm that produced, again, tornadoes today. I mentioned outside of Philadelphia and in North Jersey. So that goes up towards the Canadian Maritimes, but it pulls down all the chill into Florida. Here's Saturday morning, 43 in the villages, 47 in Orlando, 45 in Sanford. Mid-50s in Brevard County, about 47 in Daytona, 45 in Clearmont. Is this historic? No, but it is again our first 40s of the season. Some perspective for you here, 47 in Orlando Saturday morning is right on cue. The average first night we get each fall in the 40s is November 8th. So this is really not unordinary at all. Now in terms of records for Saturday, 34. Back in 1906 for November 14th, so it can be colder than this, but we'll be nowhere near the record again of 34 from about 80 years ago or so. More than that, actually. All right, 71 on Friday, 65 Saturday, cold on Saturday, lots of sunshine and temperatures on Sunday back into the 70s. All right, Noah, thank you. Coming up, what's old is always.
