Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
A very fall-like week with highs in the 70s to 60s and lower humidity.
Mostly sunny today with just a few clouds in the mix. Highs will drop to the low 70s, a few degrees below normal for this time of year. Humidity will be even lower than yesterday, making it feel more like fall.
Another nice day on Wednesday with highs in the mid 70s. We will see mostly sunny skies through most of the day, but clouds will start to build in later in the afternoon to evening.
The big weather story this week will be Hurricane Milton as it impacts Florida Wednesday and Thursday. Most of the rain from this storm will stay well to our south but our wind will kick up a bit for Thursday and Friday as we are squeezed between high pressure and low pressure (Milton). Highs will drop to the upper 60s to end the work week.
Today: Mostly Sunny. Highs in the low 70s. Winds: N 5-10
Tonight: Mainly Clear. Lows in the mid 50s. Winds: N 5-10
Tomorrow: Mostly Sunny. Highs in the mid 70s. Winds: N 5-10
Tropical Update
Hurricane Milton just north of the Yucatan Peninsula. On the forecast track, the center of Milton will move across the eastern Gulf of Mexico and approach the west-central coast of Florida through Wednesday. The center is likely to make landfall along the Gulf Coast of Florida on Wednesday night and move across central Florida on Thursday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 150 mph with higher gusts. Milton is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. While fluctuations in intensity are expected, Milton is forecast to remain an extremely dangerous hurricane through landfall in Florida.
Tropical Storm Leslie continues moving NW over the central tropical Atlantic. A turn to the north is expected late Wednesday and to the northeast by Friday. Little significant change in strength is forecast during the next 48 hours.
