Either way, it’s all about to change. I hope you listened when I said enjoy fall while it lasts. You know how it goes here in Central Florida.

We are headed right back to our typical summer storms very soon.

Expect rain chances to increase Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Here’s your pinpoint forecast.

The storms that we see Friday and the weekend will mainly be summer-like in nature as we pinpoint the east and west coast sea breezes battling it out.

I told you the wet season wasn’t over just because fall arrived at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

🌀This Week in Weather History: 4 hurricanes, 6 weeks, 1 state, 1 season

Hey there, it’s meteorologist Samara Cokinos here to bring you a moment in weather history for this week. After a few cups of fabulous Blue Mountain coffee, I am feeling “golden,” so here goes nothing.

Picture it: Florida. End of September 2004. There’s no gas and the state has now been deemed the “plywood state” in news headlines nationwide. Yes, that’s a Golden Girls reference and if you said 2004 was the year four hurricanes struck Florida, you’re absolutely right.

I was chatting with Chief Meteorologist Tom Sorrells about it earlier. Check out what he had to say about that year by clicking here.

🤫 Shhh... be very, very quiet

Hey guys, Jonathan Kegges here.

For the first time in forever there are no active tropical systems in the Atlantic. You are required to reread that to the tune of the Frozen song.

Anyway, things are looking good in the short term (hope I don’t jinx it), but we’ll focus on the Western Caribbean to ruin the party during the first week of October.
