ORLANDO, Fla. — We had a rinse and repeat forecast Friday, as our highs climbed back to near record levels and we fired up a few isolated late day storms in some interior neighborhoods.

Another record-breaking day in Sanford and Daytona Beach as we soared into the low to mid-90s. Sanford hit high temps at 96 degrees, breaking an old record of 94 set in 1980.

We had a southeast flow around high pressure, and it was just enough to bring moisture back across the peninsula Friday afternoon. We had a few storms develop, but the activity settled down early.

Drier air aloft wrapping around Subtropical Storm Leslie and high pressure to our north will allow us to drop rain chances Saturday and keep them a very low 20 percent Sunday.

Temperatures soar several degrees above seasonable levels into the lower 90s. This high strengthens and brings our wind around from the east Monday and Tuesday, and may be enough to provide a few more isolated onshore moving showers both days.

Highs slip below 90 next week and stay a little closer to seasonable levels. Breezy to windy conditions are also on the way from Sunday into early next week.

An east-northeast swell continues along our east coast this weekend, with waves three to four feet, occasionally higher.

Overall surfing conditions won’t improve though, and we are expecting a fair to poor surfcast. Long period swells aren’t going anywhere the next several days, so we can expect a high rip current risk into the weekend.

Don’t forget sunscreen! Our UV index stays very high.

Tropical Update

Tropical storm Kirk is encountering strong wind shear in the Caribbean and continues weakening.

It is producing rounds of heavy rain in the Lesser Antilles. Kirk is forecast to become a remnant low Saturday.

Elsewhere in the Atlantic, Leslie has regained subtropical characteristics and is spreading storm-force wind and high surf several hundred miles from the center of circulation. This storm is no threat to land, and will spin in the north-central Atlantic for days.

Atlantic hurricane season continues through Nov. 30.
