Rip Current Statement | Florida Weather 6 AM

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast. It's Wednesday, February 25th. Folks, if you stepped outside this morning and thought.. Wait, did I move to Georgia? You're not alone. Frost is coating lawns across inland Florida right now. Temps in the 30s. Even parts of South Florida dipped into the low 30s overnight. Winter's last little jab before it taps out. And it's tapping out. High pressure slides east today, flipping winds to the south. That's your warm air express. By this afternoon, you're feeling a completely different state. Jacksonville and the Panhandle climb to 70 degrees. Slide down to Tampa Bay, same story. Orlando and Central Florida push to 72. Miami and South Florida settle into the low 70s. Sun on your shoulders, coffee on the porch. That's February done right. Tonight stays comfortable. Inland lows land in the upper 40s to low 50s. Along the coast, mid 50s to low 60s. Thursday cranks the dial higher. Upper 70s to low 80s statewide. South Florida could kiss 80 degrees inland. Now.. Friday's where the plot thickens. A slow moving front rolls in Friday afternoon. Rain chances start modest, then climb sharply Friday night into Saturday. Isolated thunderstorms are possible, especially across North and Central Florida. Rainfall totals look like three quarters of an inch to an inch and a quarter over those two days. With the drought we've been dealing with, your lawn is practically begging for it. Looking past the weekend, that front exits south by Sunday. High pressure builds from the north, bringing easterly winds and scattered coastal showers. Temps hold steady in the upper 70s to low 80s through Tuesday. Partly sunny with a few stray showers hugging the coastline. Typical late February paradise. I'll be tracking that Friday front closely tonight. Come back tomorrow for the full breakdown. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Freeze Warning | Florida Weather 6 PM

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks — Florida is serving up one of those gorgeous late-February evenings where you step outside and think, "Yeah, this is why I live here." If you're heading out tonight, you're going to love it. Let's talk about what you're seeing right now. Down in Miami and the Keys, you've got temperatures sitting in the mid-seventies with humidity that's actually behaving itself for once. A light breeze off Biscayne Bay makes it feel like paradise — because, well, it's. Perfect evening for a walk along the waterfront. Heading up the coast to the Tampa Bay area, you're at about seventy-two degrees. Skies are mostly clear. And if you're catching a sunset over Clearwater Beach tonight, you'll want to have that phone camera ready. It's going to be a good one. Over in Orlando, you're sitting pretty at seventy-one. Theme park folks, this is your sweet spot — comfortable enough to enjoy the rides without melting into a puddle. Here's the thing though: overnight lows are dipping into the upper fifties, so grab a light jacket if you're staying out late. Up in Jacksonville and the Panhandle, it's a slightly different story. You're seeing temps in the mid-sixties. And there's a bit more cloud cover creeping in from the northwest. Pensacola might catch some scattered showers by early Wednesday morning, so if you're in the western Panhandle, you'll want to keep that umbrella handy. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Wednesday brings a weak cold front pushing through north Florida. That means brief showers for the northern half of the state, but south Florida? You're staying dry and sunny. By Thursday and Friday, temperatures bounce back into the upper seventies statewide. We're talking **beautiful** spring-preview weather heading into the weekend. One more thing — if you've been eyeing a fishing trip, Saturday's shaping up with calm seas and light winds along the Gulf Coast. Perfect conditions for getting out on the water. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care. And , Florida!

Rip Current Statement | Florida Weather Noon

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks, if you stepped outside this morning and thought someone swapped Florida for North Carolina.. You weren't dreaming. We dropped to 38 degrees overnight. Thirty one. That's fifteen degrees below normal for late February. Right now you're sitting at 46 degrees under skies so clear they look photoshopped. Let me walk you through the state. Up in North Florida, you'll top out around 58 degrees by 4 PM. Winds shift from northwest to west around 1 PM. Then temperatures slide back to 38 degrees by 4 AM. That's jacket weather all day long. Slide into Central Florida and you're seeing 61 degrees this afternoon. Lows dip to 39 degrees around 5 AM, then climb to 62 degrees by 11 AM Wednesday. Here's the kicker.. Patchy frost develops after 2 AM. Yes. Frost. In Florida. Over in Tampa Bay, similar story. Highs near 61 degrees today, lows around 42 degrees by 4 AM, warming to 62 degrees by 11 AM tomorrow. Down in South Florida, you've got it easiest. Highs reach 65 degrees with winds shifting north to northeast around 3 PM. Overnight lows only drop to 57 degrees. That's practically tropical compared to the rest of us. Now the important stuff. A Frost Advisory kicks in from 2 AM to 8 AM Wednesday for inland areas. Cover those sensitive plants tonight. Critically low humidity means elevated fire danger statewide. And a Rip Current Statement holds for Palm Beach County through Wednesday evening. Stay out of that surf. The week ahead tells a much warmer story. Highs jump into the 70s Wednesday, then push near 80 degrees Thursday. Friday into Saturday, a slow moving cold front brings scattered showers and thunderstorms. After months of drought, we could see a half inch to an inch of rain. That's music to every lawn in the state. Sunrise hit at 6:57 AM. Sunset comes at 6:23 PM. We're gaining almost two minutes of daylight every day now. If your plants survive tonight, they've earned a medal. Take care of them. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Freeze Watch | Florida Weather 6 AM

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast. It's Tuesday, February 24th. Folks, North Florida is waking up under a freeze warning right now. South Florida? Dealing with dangerous rip currents and wildfire smoke. Same state, completely different mornings. Up north, you're stepping out to 33 degrees at 7 A.M. Feels like 33 degrees with the wind. That freeze warning holds until 9 A.M. West of I-95. If you've got exposed pipes or tender plants, protect them now. The afternoon reward? A climb to 58 degrees by 4 P.M. Tonight, patchy frost sneaks back as lows settle near 38. But tomorrow.. 71 degrees. Winter's last stand ends fast. Slide down to Orlando and Central Florida. Wind chills near 33 degrees this morning. A frost advisory kicks in tonight as temps drop to 35 by 5 A.M. Wednesday. Then the plot twist. Wednesday afternoon hits 72 degrees. That's a 37 degree swing in one day. By Thursday you're touching 80. Tampa Bay, you're at 36 degrees at 7 A.M., feeling like 31. You'll only reach 60 by 3 P.M. Still ten degrees below normal. Wednesday brings 71 and south winds. Rip currents stay dangerous at area beaches through this evening. Stay out of the water. Down in Miami, 47 degrees at 6 A.M. You'll rebound to 64 by 5 P.M. Under full sunshine. Watch for dense smoke from the Big Cypress wildfire reducing visibility along Alligator Alley through mid morning. High rip current risk runs through Wednesday evening from Palm Beach to Collier County. Now the week ahead. Wednesday and Thursday are the headliners. Seventies statewide, eighties by Thursday. Feels like someone flipped a switch. Then Friday, a cold front rolls through with scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially north of I-4. A good chance of rain Friday night into Saturday. Half an inch to an inch possible. Sunday and Monday dry out with upper 70s and sunshine returning. If this podcast helps you plan your morning, drop us a quick rating. Takes five seconds. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Red Flag Warning | Florida Weather 6 PM

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. Folks, Florida is about to get a reality check tonight. That cold front that blew through? It's not messing around. By early Tuesday morning, you're waking up to temperatures you'd expect in Georgia.. Not the Sunshine State. Let's take the tour. Up in North Florida, tonight drops to around 31 degrees. Wind chills push that down to 31 degrees. That's freeze warning territory. Frost on your windshield, frost on your plants, frost on your patience. Tuesday stays sunny but tops out in the upper 50s. That's a good 31 degrees below where you'd normally be. Slide down into Central Florida and you're not much better off. Lows tonight around 34 degrees, but wind chills make it feel like 27. Tuesday brings sunshine and highs in the low 60s. Still chilly by our standards. Over in Tampa Bay, you're looking at 36 degrees tonight. Wind chills near 32. Tuesday climbs to the low 60s under sunny skies. Now South Florida.. You're the lucky ones. Lows tonight around 46 degrees, feeling closer to 40 with the wind. Tuesday afternoon pushes into the mid 60s. That's practically tropical compared to everyone else. Here's the thing. This cold snap has a very short lease. Wednesday the warmth comes roaring back. Highs jump into the 70s statewide. Thursday some spots flirt with 80 degrees. Then Friday.. Plot twist. Another front barrels in with rain and thunderstorms. The weekend stays unsettled with afternoon showers and highs holding in the 70s. Tonight, though, protect those plants. Bring the pets inside. Cover any exposed pipes, especially in North and Central Florida. And if you're near the coast, rip currents are running. Not the week for a swim. I'll be tracking that Friday front closely. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay warm tonight!

Red Flag Warning | Florida Weather Noon

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. Folks, Florida is pulling double duty today. Freeze warnings up north.. And Red Flag fire warnings across half the state. Same day. Same sunshine. Totally different problems. Let's start where it stings. North Florida is the coldest spot right now. Highs only hit 51 degrees around 3 PM. Winds gusting to 17 miles an hour. By 7 AM Tuesday, wind chills drop to 31 degrees. That's frostbite territory. Tonight? Lows fall to 31 degrees with widespread frost. Slide down to Central Florida. You're topping out around 55 degrees near 4 PM. Northwest gusts push 20 miles an hour. Tonight brings a hard freeze inland. Lows hit 34 degrees. By 5 AM Tuesday, wind chills crater to 27 degrees. Over in Tampa Bay, highs reach 54 degrees around 1 PM. Winds stay calmer, near 9 miles an hour. But by 7 AM Tuesday you're feeling 31 degrees. Lows tonight settle near 36. Now push south. Miami and the Gold Coast see 62 degrees around 2 PM with breezy northwest winds, 14 to 22 miles an hour. By 6 AM Tuesday you're down to 46 degrees. Wind chills make it feel like 40. That's grab a jacket cold for South Florida. Two things you'll want to take seriously tonight. Cover those plants. Bring pets inside. And with Red Flag Warnings flying across North Central Florida, don't burn anything outdoors. Critically low humidity plus 30 mile an hour gusts equals disaster waiting to happen. Also, rip currents are running high on both coasts. Stay out of the water. Now the good news. Tuesday starts another freeze risk inland, but by Wednesday.. Highs climb back into the 70s. Thursday and Friday? Upper 70s, low 80s, with thunderstorms likely Friday. The weekend parks itself in the low 80s with mostly sunny skies. Winter's last gasp is tonight. I'll be watching the overnight freeze closely. Charge your phone and set that plant alarm. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Red Flag Warning | Florida Weather 6 AM

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd. And folks.. Florida woke up thinking it was Minnesota today. Step outside and you'll feel 44 degrees. That's the warm part. It gets worse from here. We've got Freeze Warnings, Red Flag Warnings. And Cold Weather Advisories all flying at once. This is the kind of cold that makes your orange trees nervous. Wind chills are dropping into the upper teens overnight. Let that sink in. Upper teens. In Florida. Up in North Florida, you're barely cracking 52 degrees today. That's 31 degrees to 31 degrees below normal. Tonight? Down to 31 with winds at 15 miles an hour and patchy frost by dawn. Hard freeze territory by Tuesday morning. Slide down to Orlando and you'll hit 55 today. Sounds almost reasonable until tonight's 34 degrees arrives. Wind chills near 27 by early Tuesday. Cover those plants now, not later. Tampa Bay tops out at 54 with lows near 36 tonight. Not quite freezing, but your body won't know the difference with those 10 to 14 mile an hour winds. Even Miami only reaches 62 today. North winds gusting to 22 miles an hour have a Red Flag Warning posted. Any spark becomes a wildfire in this bone dry air. The Keys? High rip current risk. Stay out of the water. Now the big picture for the week. Tonight is rock bottom. The coldest night, period. Tuesday starts the climb. Wednesday, the 70s return like an old friend. Thursday pushes 80 degrees in Tampa and Miami. You'll want sunglasses again. But there's a twist rolling in late week. A front brings scattered showers and a few thunderstorms by Friday. After days of desert dry air, rain chances jump to a coin flip south of I-31 degrees. The weekend stays warm and unsettled with low 80s. Protect your pipes tonight. Bring the pets in. Check on neighbors who might need a hand. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay warm out there!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, if you enjoyed today's 80 degree warmth, I hope you took a mental picture. Because tonight? The rug gets pulled out from under us. A cold front is barreling through the state right now. Behind it, Arctic air is rushing south like it forgot something in Miami. Winds are gusting up to 40 miles an hour. That's the kind of wind that steals patio cushions and doesn't apologize. Down in South Florida, you're dropping from 84 degrees this afternoon to 51 tonight. That's a 30 degree freefall. A slight chance of showers hangs around this evening, but skies clear fast. Tampa Bay follows suit. You hit 74 today. By midnight you're staring at 43. Northwest winds at 12 miles an hour keep wind chills locked in the upper 30s. Push north into Central Florida and things get serious. Highs in the mid 70s today crash to the upper 30s overnight. Wind chills dip into the low 30s. Tomorrow's high barely cracks the mid 50s. That's January weather wearing a February mask. North Florida takes the biggest hit. You're plunging from near 70 this afternoon to 36 by morning. Northwest gusts hit 32 miles an hour. That wind finds every gap in your jacket. Now here's what you'll want to keep an eye on. Monday morning brings widespread frost, especially inland. A Freeze Watch kicks in Monday night.
