The first day of October will still feel like summer

Seems to fly by. The outside temperatures don't help. NO. YES. NO. Absolutely not. I mean, it still feels like summer. I still feel like we're in August. Yes, it feels like temperatures will be in the high to triple digits on October first. AND WE WILL HAVE LOTS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. So just keep that in mind. BUT THERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS. A WEAK FRONT BRINGS SOMETHING COOLER AIR INSTEAD OF THE 90S. IT WILL BE IN THE MID 80S LATER NEXT WEEK. Technically it is below average, but today we will be above average. OUR AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE IS 88. TODAY WE WILL BE AT 92 DEGREES. And in fact, many inland locations are in the low 90s today. This will be considered unreasonably warm across the region. But look where we are going at the end of the month. AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURES AT THE END OF THE MONTH 82 DEGREES WITH MORNING TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 60'S. So yes, this will be the time this month where we move into the dry season, but also the cool season. SO WE HAVE COOLER MORNINGS AND COOLER, MORE COMFORTABLE AFTERNOONS WITH LOWER HUMIDITY. WE HAVE A LOT OF HUMIDITY AND HEAT OUTSIDE NOW. AT 79 DEGREES IN ORLANDO, SANFORD, BITHLO AND KISSIMMEE. IT'S 80 DEGREES IN WINTER HAVEN, BUT WITH A LITTLE MORE HUMIDITY. IT FEELS A LOT MORE LIKE THE MID 80'S FROM ORLANDO AND SOUTH. THIS MORNING EVERYONE AWOKE TO MAJORLY CLEAR CONDITIONS. We have a few showers trying to move from Polk County into OSCEOLA County, especially around Haines City. DAVENPORT HIGH TOWARD POINCIANA, STRETCH HIGH TOWARD SAINT CLOUD. So just a few showers to get the kids ready for school. Isolated thunderstorms will develop until you lift them. However, I believe peak coverage will occur later in the evening. SOME showers and thunderstorms will develop along our east coast at SOME 230 3:00. Sea breezes in inland locations. NICE AND DRY. And then these showers and thunderstorms continue to work inland throughout the day. 530 6:00 PM EVENING. Scattered thunderstorms continuing to move across central Florida along I-4 around 7, 8 and 9 this evening. So it will be later this evening that we will have more thunderstorms. TOMORROW EVERYTHING WILL BE OVER. So over the next few hours we can expect around 60% coverage of showers and thunderstorms. BUT AT LEAST FOR THIS MORNING WE ARE DRY. ONLY LATER OUR CHANCES OF RAIN INCREASE. AND THIS AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES COULD REACH THE UPPER 80S AND LOW 90S. WE WILL ACTUALLY HAVE THE UPPER 80S TOMORROW UNTIL ABOUT FRIDAY, THEN SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND MONDAY. The chance of rain is high. Temperatures will be in the mid-80s and the chance of rain will be particularly high

The first day of October will still feel like summer

Temperatures will be in the 90s with a high chance of afternoon storms

A weak front will emerge this afternoon. Cooler air will not return today, however this front will bring scattered rain and storms for the Prime Minister. Up to 60% coverage will be possible in the late afternoon and early evening. Highs will fall into the upper 80s tomorrow and continue throughout the week. Scattered showers and storms remain in the picture throughout the work week. Highs this weekend will fall into the mid 80s. TROPICS Joyce is a residual low in the Atlantic and will no longer be a problem. Kirk continues to strengthen and become a hurricane later today or tomorrow. This will have no impact on the country. East of Kirk there is an interesting area, Invest 91-L, that shows signs of organization. This could become a tropical depression over the next few days. A 60% chance of education in the next 2 days and a 90% chance of education in the next 7 days. There is a low pressure area in the Caribbean. Conditions could support gradual development of this system and a tropical depression could form in the next few days. There is a 10% chance of the storm developing in the next two days and a 40% chance of developing in the next seven days. Models expect this storm to develop into a severe storm, but it could still bring us a lot of rain through the end of the weekend and into next week.
