THE EXCITEMENT FOR EPIC IS EPIC. LET’S TAKE A LOOK NOW AT THOSE TEMPERATURES.

THE LAST 15 TO 20 MINUTES HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. LOOK AT THAT VIEW BEHIND ME. NOW THAT IS OVER TOWARDS PORT CANAVERAL, STU. AND THERE’S SOME PRETTY GOOD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING THERE. WE’LL KIND OF WIDEN OUT THAT VIEW FOR FOLKS AT HOME. YOU CAN SEE. THAT THUNDERSTORM AND A LITTLE BIT OF A CLOUD BASE THERE CALLED SOMETIMES COULD DEVELOP INTO A SHELF CLOUD OR ROLL CLOUD. IT’S TRYING TO DO SOMETHING. WE’LL CONTINUE TO WATCH IT AS IT DEVELOPS AND FORMS.

CHIEF METEOROLOGIST TONY MAINOLFI IS STANDING BY WITH THE LATEST TONY. ALL RIGHT. WE’VE GOT SOME STORMS DOWN IN SOUTHERN OSCEOLA AND BREVARD, AND WE’RE WATCHING THE SEA BREEZES HERE IN THE METRO AREAS TO SEE HOW THEY INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER AND WHAT THEY’RE ABLE TO PRODUCE TEMPERATURES HERE. STILL PLENTY OF WARM. AND WE’VE GOT A LITTLE MORE TROPICAL HUMIDITY OUT THERE, SO WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH THAT ALL OUT AHEAD OF THIS STATIONARY FRONT.
