Orlando Weather Forecast: Tracking big cool down

Thank you. Well, enjoy the 70s and 80s while they last because we are in for a major cool down in just a few days and meteorologist Noah Bergeron joins us tonight. What a difference I-4 makes. You got 40s in Gainesville, a little warmer down here, but it's going to be frigid. It's very observant, Jack. Thank you. Your first winter here. I-4 is always the dividing line, right? Correct. It's just like every state has for weather, but it's normally north of I-4 is cold, east of it, not too bad. Well, it's going to be cold everywhere on Saturday. Correct. It'll feel colder than It's been for sure, but I-4 definitely is going to be that cutoff between the bigger chill and the lesser chill for the weekend. All right, so some notables tonight. Cloudy, warm, and humid for tomorrow. Basically a repeat of today, just fewer showers tomorrow. Winter-like cold on Saturday, no frost. You don't need to cover your plants or anything. Humidity goes down to January levels as well. Super crisp and dry. Rain and storms are possible middle of next week. How much? Not quite sure yet, to be honest. Some models advertise a really big event. Some data, a little bit lesser. Candidly, I lean on a little bit lesser end of that, just given how things look. But I just want to let you know, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday next week, another chance of rain and storms for our area. All right, 79 to the high tomorrow, 71 Friday, 65 Saturday. That's January-level chill. 74 Sunday, 76 on Monday. There's morning lows over the next couple, bottoming out Saturday morning. We will wake up to the mid-40s in Orlando. All right, statewide on Saturday, there will be 30s, potentially for the first time of the year. Some more outlying areas up in the panhandle in North Florida, 40, Ocala, Tallahassee. Saturday morning, 49, Tampa, 47, Orlando, 51 in Melbourne. Factor in a little bit of a breeze, 10, 15 miles an hour, just enough of a wind chill, slight wind chill. 37, Ocala, 39, Jacksonville, 37, Tallahassee. The wind chill Saturday morning, feeling 43 in Orlando. And 51 in the Melbourne area. Out there tonight, we talked about this a few days ago, and it has come to fruition. We're looking east. There's a big light show. We've got some big thunderstorms popping off out over the Gulf Stream just off the coast of Brevard. Tons of lightning out there tonight. These storms are moving away. But if you're watching tonight in Brevard and you haven't looked out your window yet, Take a peek out your window after the newscast. A pretty big light show out there. We've seen it on our cameras tonight. Nationally, not a lot of big weather going on. I do want to mention something interesting for you. Look at the colorized satellite. Look at the clouds here. This is way up at the upper level of the atmosphere. Look where they're coming from. All the way from the Central Pacific, that is El Nino. It brings all these Pacific systems across Mexico and into Florida. And once we get to December, January, February, March, that is what's going to cause our severe weather outbreaks and our more frequent flood events. Here in Florida, it aired last night. If you missed it, it is now streaming on Fox Local, it being our winter weather special. If you're curious how El Nino is going to impact our winter season, we do a whole deep dive into the previous tornado outbreaks, flood events, talking about how it's going to happen, why it's going to happen. Go to the Fox Local app. You'll see it right there, a little tile tracking El Nino. You can watch it at any time. All right, so on Friday, the front comes by in the morning and the humidity plummets. By Friday evening, it is just like perfect. I don't have a fire pit quite yet, but if I had one, I'd be using it Friday night. Also, I have to work. But Saturday, I would use it, definitely. So if this gives you any credence, Friday evening, oh, it's going to be so nice. The humidity plummets clear. Jack just got a fire pit here. Maybe he'll fire that up. Well, he has to work, too, actually. Maybe do that Saturday. But mostly cloudy Thursday, 79, breezy on Friday. We'll have lots of sunshine coming in for Saturday and Sunday, Jack. Who says you can't light a fire pit at 1130?
