Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
A very fall-like week with highs in the 70s to 60s and lower humidity.
Today may be the warmest day of the week with highs in the upper 70s. Expect a mix of mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies as a cold front moves through. A spotty shower is possible this afternoon to evening.
Even cooler and less humid air will move in behind the front. Highs will drop to the low 70s on Tuesday and Wednesday, then to the upper 60s to end the work week.
The big weather story this week will be Hurricane Milton as it impacts Florida through midweek. Most of the rain from this storm will stay well to our south but our wind will kick up Thursday and Friday as we are squeezed between high pressure and low pressure (Milton).
Today: Partly Cloudy. Highs in the upper 70s. Winds: SW/N 5-10
Tonight: Mainly Clear. Lows in the upper 50s. Winds: N 5-10
Tomorrow: Mostly Sunny. Highs in the low 70s. Winds: N 5-10
Tropical Update
Hurricane Milton continues to rapidly intensify over the southern Gulf of Mexico. On the forecast track, Milton is forecast to move near or just north of the Yucatan Peninsula today and Tuesday, then cross the eastern Gulf of Mexico and approach the west coast of the Florida Peninsula by Wednesday. Data from NOAA and Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 155 mph with higher gusts. Milton is forecast to become a category 5 hurricane later today and become a large hurricane over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane Leslie continues moving northwest over the tropical Atlantic. This general motion is expected to continue over the next few days. Gradual weakening is forecast through the week, and Leslie is expected to weaken to a tropical storm in a day or so.
Kirk becomes an extratropical cyclone over the northern Atlantic. This storm will continue moving E/NE toward Spain and France by midweek.
