weather. severe weather. right now numerous severe thunderstorm warnings have been issued across the panhandle up towards tallahassee right now, again, this is the main line. quite a bit of lightning. our lightning tracker picking up on about 300 lightning strikes. however, the amount of lightning has been cut in half just in the last three hours. we had over 600 lightning strikes at one point. now we're looking at only 300 lightning strikes in about a 30 minute period. once again, not nearly as active when it comes to the lightning because overall the atmosphere is starting to cool down just a little bit. 65 the palm coast. right now 67 in melbourne. 65 out in clermont. temperatures are way up tonight compared to last night because the dewpoints are back up into the lower 60s. not summer like but definitely it's getting a little muggy outside. 64 degrees in advance of the approaching cold front. this is our visit orlando tower cam on top of the hyatt regency

and the i-drive corridor. here's tomorrow. storms in the morning. six, 7:00, 8:00 they'll move offshore. 11:00 a.m. we're back to sunshine. and lots of sunshine. highs will be in the low to mid 70s as we go through the afternoon. very comfortable. there's the actual low pressure center. earlier today this low was very near alabama and mississippi. that's the reason why they had rotating thunderstorms. the low continues to get farther and farther and farther away from us. so the risk of any rotating storms basically zero. chance for some severe storms overnight tonight. about 10%. not much. expecting potentially some gusty winds, possibly some small hail. wouldn't be surprised if we got one or two severe thunderstorm warnings during the overnight. let's talk about it here as we go through the county zones. marion county and alachua county, between 2:00 and 4:00 in the morning, your best chance for the rain and the thunderstorms moving through.
