ORLANDO, Fla. – Hey insiders its meteorologist Candace Campos. Early today forecasters at Colorado State University released their first official prediction for the 2024 hurricane season. The combination of warmer-than-normal ocean temperatures and a quick transition to La Nina by the summer, it’s no surprise that this upcoming season could be one for the record books. Click here to see how many storms they are forecasting.

Locally our weather into the weekend is shaping up nicely as several fronts reinforce the pleasant and dry conditions we saw Thursday. But the breezy and dry weather also has a downside to it, click here to see why.

The sunny skies continue into next week, which is perfect for those hoping to catch a glimpse of the partial solar eclipse Monday afternoon, just make sure to do it safely!


Total eclipse of the ‘Heart’land ☀️🕶️

Hey insiders, it’s meteorologist Jonathan Kegges host of ‘Weather Wise’ getting everything ready in the ClickO Studio for Monday’s total solar eclipse!

Even though Central Florida won’t be in the path of totality, the sun overhead will be about 65% blocked by the moon come Monday afternoon.

But if a partial eclipse doesn’t excite you, Central Florida will have its turn with a total solar eclipse in the future! Find out how long we have to wait to be in the path of totality by clicking here.

Join me as we look at views of the 2024 solar eclipse from here in Central Florida and those in the path of totality across the country. The live stream will start on Monday at 1:00 p.m. on ClickOrlando.com.


Excited for the eclipse? No shades, no problem — but don’t look up!! 🌙

Hey there insiders, it’s meteorologist Michelle Morgan talking about a very cool natural phenomenon that will happen during the partial solar eclipse coming up Monday, April 8.

Now, for last year’s partial solar eclipse that happened in October I waited too long to get my ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses. By the time I tried, they were sold out everywhere.

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one in that situation, but I made sure not to repeat that mistake this time.

Anyway, if you didn’t manage to get a pair, no worries. You can still enjoy the partial solar eclipse, but this time you’ll have to look down.
