šŸŒ‚Taking A Break From The Rain

News6 Pinpoint Weather Team 2024

A Little Bit Of Dry Air On The Way šŸ™ŒšŸ¾

Hey yā€™all, meteorologist Michelle Morgan here. So, itā€™s been rainy! Many areas across Central Florida already picked up over 7+ā€ of rainfall and I donā€™t know about you, but I think we need a little break from the wet weather.

The Pinpoint Weather team is tracking some drier air moving in, which will stick around for the next few days. This will help lower rain chances and humidityā€”yay!

Drier setup

The fall season begins on Sunday and it will sorta feel like fall, (of course, Florida standards) we wonā€™t be dealing with soggy conditions and the sweltering heat. Click here to check out the forecast.

Also, now that weā€™re past the peak of hurricane season, things remain active across the tropics. There are three areas to watch and one area is gaining more attention than the other two.


šŸ”„ā˜ļøWILDFIRES CREATING THEIR OWN WEATHER? Pyrocumulonimbus clouds hurting fire fight out westšŸ—²

Pyrocumumulo-what? Whatā€™s going on guys, meteorologist Jonathan Kegges with you. We get thunderstorms just about every day in the summer. Those thunderstorm clouds are called cumulonimbus clouds. But when they are born by heat from wildfires they are known as pyrocumulonimbus clouds, pyro meaning fire. Yes, fire can make its own weather. Read more about that here.

On a completely unrelated note, our newest member of the Pinpoint Weather Team, David Nazario breaks down the Central American Gyre. You may have seen crazy computer models of a tropical system developing next week. While a storm will likely form, there is currently no storm to track, so those models are just guessing where the actual disturbance develops. Where it develops has HUGE implications on where itā€™s headed. Do me a favor and please donā€™t stress out. Weā€™re not. Weā€™re simply watching and breaking down the limited data that we have at this point. We wouldnā€™t be talking about anything until maybe late next week...IF the system came this way.

Anyway, this storm will be born from the Central American Gyre. David talks about how these storms come to be here.
