when it does happen, rain chances, about 5, 6, 7:00 in the morning, not a big deal. if you have outdoor plans tonight, do not hesitate to get outside. it's almost perfect. look at the daytime highs. we hit 81 degrees today in sanford. 79 in leaves and 79 in ocala and 81 in leesburg and 76 in daytona beach. the wind is from the east-southeast at 8 miles per hour. in melbourne, the reading is 80 with the winds from the south-southwest at 11:00. relative humidity is only 31%. it's still really dry. other temperatures for you, 75 degrees up there in palm coast right now. still 80 in sanford. 81 in kissimmee and 75 in cocoa beach. wind speeds and directions, okay, leesburg, 7-mile-an-hour wind, 15 in ocala, 7-mile-an-hour wind in orlando. 10-mile-an-hour wind in kissimmee and 12 in melbourne. it's all good. satellite and radar together shows you our smattering of cloud cover that we have right now. it's not doing anything big.
