Florida Weather March 3 Morning - Record Cold

Good morning. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. That 77 degrees on your thermometer right now? it's just the opening act. Strong high pressure parked off New England is wedging cool, moist Atlantic air down the coast. That sets up a classic Florida split today. Coastal areas deal with fog while inland spots surge toward the 80s. In the next 24 hours. North Florida, you're getting the brunt of it. Northeast winds gusting to 24 miles an hour will make that 72-degree high feel brisk. But the real story comes tonight. Widespread dense fog rolls in along the I-Ninety-Five corridor. If you're driving near Jacksonville or Fernandina Beach after sunset, visibility could drop fast. Central Florida wakes up to patchy fog tomorrow morning. Today you hit 80 degrees under mostly sunny skies. You might see a passing shower after 2 P.M., but most of you stay dry. Tampa Bay, you've got the warmest spot in the state. High of 84 degrees today. Mostly sunny and pleasant with light east winds. Down in South Florida, expect 78 degrees with a slight chance of coastal showers between 2 and 5 P.M. East winds gusting to 21 miles an hour will make it breezy. A high rip current risk continues at all Atlantic beaches through Wednesday evening. If you're heading to the water, swim near a lifeguard. Tonight brings a full moon. Look up after sunset and you'll see it shining through partly cloudy skies. Here's the week ahead. That warming trend continues. By Thursday and Friday, inland areas could flirt with record highs in the mid to upper 80s. Shower chances tick up Thursday through Saturday as moisture increases. But the pattern stays pleasant overall. Just keep an eye on those rip currents if you're beach-bound. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

3/3 Florida Weather Noon: Record Cold

Good afternoon. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. So picture this. A big high pressure system parked off New England is shoving cool air down the coast like a bouncer clearing a hallway. That's why North Florida woke up socked in fog this morning while the rest of the state is soaking up sunshine. Two completely different vibes separated by about 200 miles of I-75. In the next 24 hours. Up north, that dense fog hangs around through midday along the coast. Highs only reach 73 degrees with northeast winds gusting to 24 miles an hour. That wind has some teeth to it. Tonight the fog creeps inland and lows settle near 59. Now slide down to Central Florida. This is the winner today. Mostly sunny, high near 80 degrees. Just a whisper of a shower chance this afternoon. Lows tonight ease to 64. Pretty close to perfect. Tampa Bay, your patchy fog burns off by 10 A.M. and then it's full sunshine all the way to 84 degrees. That's the kind of afternoon where your car steering wheel reminds you summer's not far off. Tonight, partly cloudy, low around 65. South Florida, mostly sunny with a high of 78. A quick shower could pop near midday. East winds stay breezy, gusting to 20 miles an hour. Lows hold at a balmy 73. Quick safety note. Atlantic beaches from Palm Beach south have dangerous rip currents through Wednesday. Swim near a lifeguard. No exceptions. Looking ahead, things get spicy. A warming trend builds through the week with record highs possible by Thursday. We're talking mid to upper 80s inland. Moisture creeps in midweek bringing better shower chances. And tonight. Step outside after dark. Full moon, mainly clear skies across most of the state. Your phone camera won't do it justice, but try anyway. I'll be tracking those potential records all week. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

3/3 Florida Weather 6 AM: Record Cold

Good morning. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Walk outside right now and the air hits you like a warm blanket. Seventy six degrees already. That sticky, tropical humidity clinging to your skin. You can thank a high pressure system parked off New England for this. It's pushing a steady onshore flow across the entire state, pumping warm, moist air straight at us. In the next 24 hours. That flow is the whole story today. It's why fog is hugging the northeast coast. It's why your beach towel feels damp before you even spread it out. And it's why temperatures keep climbing all week. Possibly into record territory by Thursday. Up in North Florida, that fog is stubborn. It lingers through the afternoon with northeast gusts hitting 24 miles an hour. Highs reach 73 degrees. Tonight the fog creeps inland as you drop to 59 degrees. Keep those headlights on. Slide down to Central Florida and the picture brightens. Mostly sunny, high near 80 degrees. A stray shower is possible before 4 P.M., but nothing worth canceling plans over. Tonight settles into the mid 60s. Tampa Bay? You drew the winning ticket. Patchy fog burns off by 10 A.M., then pure sunshine pushes you to 84 degrees. That's February in denial. South Florida sees 78 degrees with east winds gusting to 20 miles an hour. A quick shower could sneak in around lunch. Overnight lows barely budge from 73 degrees. Your AC is earning its keep tonight. Quick safety note. High rip current risk along every Atlantic beach through Wednesday evening. Swim near a lifeguard. No exceptions. Looking ahead, temperatures just keep climbing. Mid to upper 80s by Thursday and Friday inland. That flirts with records. Afternoon pop up showers build midweek, but nothing organized. Just Florida doing its thing. Oh. And tonight's full moon rises right at sunset. Spring equinox is 17 days out. We're gaining two minutes of daylight every single day now. I'll be tracking those near record highs all week. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

3/2 Florida Weather 6 PM: Record Cold

Good evening. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, here's the situation. We're looking at a tale of two Floridas today. Up north, you're dealing with a dense fog advisory until 8 A.M. Visibility could drop to a quarter mile near Jacksonville and the Georgia border. If you're driving that way, slow down and use your low beams. Meanwhile, down in Miami-Dade and Broward County, the Atlantic is angry. A high rip current risk stays in place through Wednesday evening. The surf is rough, so stay out of the water. In the next 24 hours. High pressure is building across the Southeast. This pumps in a warm, breezy easterly flow. It feels like summer is arriving early. We're flirting with record-breaking heat by Thursday. Here's what you're seeing across the state. In North Florida, the fog burns off to reveal a high of 76 degrees. Temperatures actually fall in the afternoon as winds shift. Tonight, widespread fog develops after 9 P.M. You'll drop to a mild 57 degrees. Central Florida stays mostly sunny. The Orlando area hits 80 degrees. You might see brief rain showers around 1 P.M. Winds shift from the northeast to the east. Tonight clears out with a low around 62 degrees. Down in South Florida, you see partly cloudy skies. An east wind blows around 14 miles an hour. Highs reach 78 degrees. There's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 7 P.M. Tonight holds steady near 73 degrees. Over in Tampa Bay, you're winning the sunshine game. Mostly sunny skies with a high near 84 degrees. East winds around 8 miles an hour keep the coast comfortable. Tonight lows drop to 62 degrees under clear skies. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. The warm-up is just getting started. We're looking at record highs Thursday through the weekend. Inland areas could hit the upper 80s. Expect a chance of showers each day along the coast. Nights remain mild and muggy. It's not officially summer yet, but the weather sure will feel like it. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

3/2 Florida Weather Noon: Record Cold

Good afternoon. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, here's the situation. A giant heat dome is building overhead. That high-pressure ridge is acting like a lid on a pot. It's trapping warmth and keeping every single rain cloud far away. We're looking at record-breaking heat later this week. but for today? You just get beautiful sunshine. In the next 24 hours. Step outside right now and you'll feel it. We're sitting at 79 degrees under a clear sky. With the spring equinox just two weeks away, the sun feels strong. We're gaining nearly two minutes of daylight every single day. Tonight brings a bright Waxing Gibbous moon. It sits at 87 percent illumination. It's going to be a lovely night to be outside. Down in South Florida, you're seeing mostly sunny skies. Your high hits near 78 degrees. Northeast winds blow around 14 miles an hour. It stays warm tonight with a low around 73. Tuesday looks similar. Expect another high near 78. You might see a quick shower between 11 A.M. and 2 P.M. Moving up the coast to Central Florida, it's a touch cooler to start. Look for a high near 80 degrees today. Winds are lighter here. Tonight cools down to around 62 degrees under clear skies. Tuesday warms up fast. You'll hit 80 degrees again. Watch for a brief shower chance around 1 P.M. North Florida remains the cool spot. Highs today reach near 76 degrees. Tonight stays mild with a low around 57. You might see patchy fog develop after 3 A.M. Tuesday starts with areas of fog before 9 A.M. Then the sun comes out. Highs climb back to 76 degrees. Over in Tampa Bay, expect sunny skies and a high near 84 degrees. Tonight is clear and 62 degrees. Tuesday looks fantastic. You hit 84 degrees again under sunny skies. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. This pattern is locked in. We see an extended stretch of heat. Highs climb into the mid-80s statewide by Wednesday. We could challenge record highs Thursday and Friday. Rain chances remain low. You might see a stray afternoon shower. but most of us stay dry. It's a classic taste of late spring in early March. One note for the beachgoers. There's a high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches through Wednesday evening. If you're heading to the coast, be careful. Swim near a lifeguard. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

3/2 Florida Weather 6 AM: Special Weather Statement

Good morning. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Grab your coffee and listen up, folks. If you're anywhere in North Florida right now, you mightn't be able to see your neighbor's house. Dense fog swallowed Lake and inland Volusia counties overnight. Visibilities dropped to a quarter mile. It lifts by mid morning, but take it slow through sunrise. In the next 24 hours. So what's driving today's weather? High pressure parked over the Northeast is funneling a steady onshore breeze across the whole peninsula. Think of it like a giant fan blowing Atlantic air straight at us. That sets up completely different days depending on which coast you're standing on. Let's start down in Miami. You're already at 71 degrees. Feels like summer never left. A few quick showers could pop along the coast around 6 A.M., but they move fast. Highs reach 78 degrees with breezy east winds gusting to 18 miles an hour. Tonight stays balmy at 72. Slide up to Orlando and the vibe shifts. Clear skies, 59 degrees at the door. Sunshine pushes you to 79 by early afternoon. Winds gust to 15 miles an hour around 3 P.M. Tonight settles to a comfortable 62. Jacksonville. You're socked in at 53 degrees. Once that fog burns off, mostly sunny skies carry you to 75 by 1 P.M. Northeast gusts hit 20 miles an hour. Patchy fog sneaks back after midnight. Now Tampa Bay. Sixty two degrees this morning, climbing to a gorgeous 83. A slight chance of thunderstorms south of Sarasota, but most of you stay dry. Tonight eases to 63. Looking ahead, that onshore flow digs in all week. Temperatures keep climbing. Inland spots push upper 80s to low 90s by Friday. The coast stays cooler, upper 70s. but Atlantic beaches get rough. High rip current risk starts Tuesday. Seas build to four to seven feet. Not the week to test your boogie board skills. I'll be tracking that warming trend all week. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

3/1 Florida Weather 6 PM: Severe Thunderstorm Warning

Good evening. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. So Florida decided to kick off March with some drama. A cold front stalled over South Florida today and squeezed out thunderstorms that dropped pea sized hail from Homestead to Miami Beach. Hail. In March. That front is losing steam now, sliding south and fading out. In the next 24 hours. Down in South Florida, you're still at 79 degrees with showers lingering through early evening. A quarter to half inch of rain where those storms rumbled through. Things quiet down by 10 P.M. and overnight lows settle near 71 degrees. Warm and muggy. Classic. Slide over to Tampa Bay and it's a completely different vibe. 80 degrees, sunny skies, not a storm in sight. Tonight eases to 61 degrees with a few clouds drifting in. Nice evening to sit on the porch. Up in Central Florida, you caught a break too. Mostly sunny, 76 degrees. Tonight drops to a refreshing 58 degrees. That's open the windows weather. North Florida wins the day though. Pure sunshine, 71 degrees, cooling to 52 tonight. Crisp enough to grab a light jacket. Now here's where it gets interesting. High pressure muscles in tomorrow, flipping the winds to the northeast. Most of the state stays dry with highs in the mid to upper 70s. South Florida sees a few morning coastal showers, then clearing by afternoon near 78 degrees. The real story is what builds from there. That high pressure locks in easterly winds all week, pumping Gulf moisture inland. Afternoon pop up showers become a daily habit, especially over the interior. Temperatures climb fast. Mid 80s by Wednesday. Flirting with 90 degrees inland by Friday. and the beaches? Dangerous rip currents develop by Tuesday with seas building to 5 to 8 feet. Stay out of the surf. Charge your phone and keep the umbrella in the car this week. You'll need both. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

3/1 Florida Weather Noon: Record Cold

Good afternoon. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. A cold front pushed through yesterday and now it's just. Sitting there. Draped across South Florida like a wet towel on a pool chair. That stalled front is the whole story today. In the next 24 hours. North of it? Gorgeous. Jacksonville's soaking up sunshine with highs near 71 degrees. Drive south to Orlando and Tampa Bay, same deal. Mostly sunny, 77 to 79 degrees. Perfect patio weather. South Florida, you drew the short straw. That dying front overhead means a coin flip on showers and thunderstorms between 11 A.M. and 11 P.M. Miami and Fort Lauderdale top out around 79 degrees, but it'll feel sticky. Keep the umbrella close. Quick morning note. If you were up early in North Florida, you probably drove through fog. Dense patches lingered through 9 A.M. That's cleared out now, but heads up for tomorrow morning too. Beach folks, listen up. High rip current risk at Volusia and North Brevard beaches today. Stay out of the surf. South of Cape Canaveral, moderate risk. Not the day to test your swimming skills. Tonight clears out nicely. Jacksonville cools to 53 degrees. Central Florida settles near 58. South Florida stays balmy at 71. Monday? Sunshine everywhere. but northeast winds kick up along the coast, gusting to 20 miles an hour by afternoon. That onshore breeze sticks around all week. Now the week ahead gets interesting. High pressure locks in and cranks the thermostat. Low 80s Tuesday and Wednesday. By Thursday and Friday. We're flirting with 90 degrees inland. Record highs are on the table. The coast stays cooler thanks to those persistent east winds, but Southwest Florida and inland spots will feel like May showed up two months early. In One bright spot to close on. Sunrise at 6, 52 A.M., sunset at 6:26 P.M. Nearly twelve hours of daylight. Spring equinox is just nineteen days away. I'll be watching those record temps all week. Should be a wild ride. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

3/1 Florida Weather 6 AM: Record Cold

Good morning. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, grab that coffee and listen up. If you're driving across North Florida right now, you're driving blind. Dense fog has visibility down to a quarter mile from the Suwannee Valley through Southeast Georgia. That fog lifts by 9 A.M. Once the sun burns through. Until then. Slow down. In the next 24 hours. So what's going on? A frontal boundary pushed south yesterday and ran out of gas. It's just sitting over South Florida now, acting like a moisture magnet. That means scattered storms fire up after 7 A.M. Down in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. They peak around midday. You're looking at a quarter inch of rain, maybe less. Nothing dramatic, but keep the umbrella handy. Meanwhile, the rest of the state? High pressure is running the show. Sunshine and easy breezes. North Florida climbs into the low 70s. Central Florida pushes the upper 70s. Tampa Bay and South Florida flirt with the low 80s. Tonight, inland spots cool to the 50s. The coast holds in the low 60s. Quick safety note. Volusia and northern Brevard beaches have a high rip current risk today. Stay out of that water. Now the week ahead is where things get interesting. Monday, high pressure building off New England sends breezy northeast winds our way. Those winds stick around and create daily coastal showers Tuesday through Friday. Inland areas stay drier until Thursday and Friday, when sea breeze storms pop up. The real headline? Heat. Temperatures climb every single day. By Thursday and Friday, inland thermometers hit the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. The coast stays 51 degrees to 51 degrees cooler thanks to that ocean breeze. We're talking potential record highs Thursday into the weekend. March first. and we're already chasing records. I'll be tracking those numbers all week. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

2/28 Florida Weather 6 PM: Rip Current Statement

Good evening. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. A cold front is draped across the middle of the state right now. and it's splitting Florida into two completely different evenings. North of it, skies are clearing. South of it, storms are still firing. In the next 24 hours. Let's talk about who needs to pay attention. South Florida sees the most action tonight. A marginal severe risk stretches from Palm Beach to Lake Okeechobee. Strong winds, small hail, maybe even an isolated spin up. Highs hit 80 degrees today with storms tapering off after 8 P.M. Lows settle near 70. Tomorrow brings another round of scattered storms with highs near 78. Keep your weather app handy. Slide up to Tampa Bay. Showers and thunderstorms popped this afternoon with highs around 76 degrees. Any lingering shower chance fades before 7 P.M. Lows dip to 59. Sunday? Mostly sunny and a gorgeous 79. Central Florida sat right under the front all day. Mostly cloudy, high near 74 degrees, maybe a stray shower. Tonight clears out with lows near 58. Sunday opens up to sunshine and 77. Now up north, you're already winning. High pressure is muscling in from the north. Partly sunny today, 66 degrees, northeast winds gusting to 17 miles an hour. Tonight, lows drop to 51 with patchy fog developing after 5 A.M. Once that burns off Sunday morning, you're looking at sunny skies and 71 degrees. That's a postcard day. Quick heads up for Panhandle beachgoers. Dangerous rip currents from Walton to Gulf County through tonight. Stay out of that water. Looking ahead, that front fizzles by Monday. Then temperatures actually climb. By midweek, inland spots could push into the mid 80s with breezy onshore winds and scattered afternoon showers. We're gaining almost two minutes of daylight every day now. Spring equinox is just 20 days out. Charge your phone tonight. South Florida. You might need those storm alerts before sunrise. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.
