it doesn't mean it's going to happen on a scale 1 to 5. the storm prediction center puts us at one so we're pretty low. the jet streams over us and we got a upper level disturbance in central florida and that creates some twists in the atmosphere so that's what we'll be watching for later today in those storms. for now we've got some sunshine and we're showing you wonder works off of eye dive. you can see the sun rosevilling off the building so we definitely have the time now to enjoy the weather until these storms develop later today. 67 is our current temp. it's going to be a warm afternoon which will also help trigger some of those storms. there's our cold front and then there's our rain, of course, that'll be moving to central florida. the rain chances, if you want to break it down, are a little higher actually to the south of us. about 60% and then about 50% for the rest of us but this will be moving over us later today and then we have another system that moves over central florida tomorrow so the rain stays with us through the weekend, unfortunately, but we have a great payoff on monday.
8:47 am
there's the big storm system and again, some of those storms have kind of deflated as they move across the tampa bay area. the rest of us will actually enjoy a lower 80 scheme and then as i mentioned look at the cooler colder weather that's back across the midsection and out west. all of that is going to spill towards florida as we head into monday so you'll see the extended outlook that's quite a bit different than we've seen here in the last couple of weeks. it's been pretty warm. we'll get probably one more push of cooler temperatures on monday and that's going to be it for another 4/5 months so there goes our cold front and then it'll bring in that cooler weather as we head towards monday and you'll see that here in your forecast coming up but for today, we'll be 82. lots of clouds will be developing. the scattered showers in the forecast about a 50 to 60% chance of the storms. a few of those could be strong. we'll keep an eye those for you. 67, cloudy skies, rain in the forecast this evening at about 40%. there's that extended outlook so not great today or tomorrow. it will not rain all day so
8:48 am
that the storms are out there and it will be headed our way. look at that big payoff, though, on monday. 67. that's probably going to be the last time i can type that until next winter. i don't even when, a long time. so enjoy it while you can, you guys and then warmer after that. all right. here is our weather baby. noah. >> andrea: a cutie. >> meteorologist: i love that little shirt. that's so cute with daddy and he's having -- it looks like he's got a big day ahead of him, whatever he's looking like, it's a great shot. hey, we would love to see your baby. it's so simple to do. all you have to do is head over to our website you'll see our weather baby section and all you do is upload your photo. you'll be like noah and you'll be a superstar. >> andrea: very true. leslie thank you. >> rain is in the forecast making it a perfect backdrop for a day at the movies. fox's jonathan hunt has what's new at the box office. >> those people out there>> reporter: the fan driven blols

somes in tease to finish early ahead of storms and speaking of the weather leslie hudson joins us now with all the details, good morning, leslie. >> meteorologist: good morning to you. they're so smart to actually change that because there is a lot of weather behind me and it is coming to florida. central florida this afternoon so we're starting to see those clouds develop. we did have some sunshine earlier today, now, those clouds are rolling in and it won't be long before the storms actually take over. the rain chances are about 50 to 60% so it is a good likelihood storms today. most of the us should. not everybody will. but there is a better chance tomorrow as another system moves over south florida. l- -- central florida. we got 2 things going on we got a pretty impressive line across the gulf of mexico so there's plenty of moisture to work with and lots of moisture and lightning out there as well. we think this will not be severe weather there's certainly some stronger storms we haven't seen severe weather yet with this system in florida so we're hoping we won't get that today. we had sunshine already and that actually helps trigger the
9:16 am
ripe for stronger storms so we'll keep an eye throughout the day and we'll let you know and again, another system is moving over central florida tomorrow and that keeps the rain chances at about 60%. so here's our towercam over at visit orlando. we've got again some overcast skies there as well. we're going to continue to see those clouds develop and i don't think the sunshine once it's the rest of the day. the winds are out of the southwest and that's what we'll through today. so here eye other storm system cold front actually moves through the forecast tomorrow. this weather all ahead of it, but what is making things a little interesting is that there is an upper level feature something you don't see on this map. it's an upper level lull so that will trigger some rogues and that's why we look for more stronger storms as it moves across the state of today and we'll let you know if anything develops, of course. meanwhile, there's cold air behind that cold front. this will be our last push of cold air. i seen everyone says we go
9:17 am
we've got one more taste of cooler weather coming our way with this arctic air pushing across the midsection of the country and it gets here monday and then after that, that's going to be it. we'll be well into spring across central florida so enjoy the cooler weather monday because that will be about it for about 6 months. there's our computer model everything moving across over a snail's pace and cooler weather will move into the 7-day forecast as i mentioned monday and beautiful day set up for you and i hope you got some spring break time. cloudy skies. showers developing as we head through the day. tonight, in the mid to upper 60s there will be about a 40% chance of showers developing, 62 for ocala, 62 in gainesville. 65 in leesburg. there's your extended outlook. 50% chance of the storms today. about a 60% chance on sunday and then the rain chances -- they go down, monday we're at 0% and look at that, high of 67 degrees.

9:24 am
>> always beautiful here to be here especially looking at that eagle cam. >> andrea: let's talk about depression. if you're suffering from clinical depression versus a gloomy mood how do you know if it's just having a bad day our you're really suffering for something. >> thank you andrea always great to be here. as a brain doctor it's normal to have a gloomy mood if something bad happened but if your mind is persisting on negative and unhappy thoughts for about two weeks at a time and it's starting to affect your ability to engage in work and with family members, it could be clinical depression. >> andrea: that's a great way to put it. how does does running change the brain. >> great question. i'm always as a holistic doctor looking for alternatives we know 40% of americans do not respond to traditional antidepressant pills they just don't feel better. running targets the pre-frontal cortex of the brain and an area known as the hipaa campus. brain scan studies in this translational research journal article showed that the way that
9:25 am
you run on a regular basis actually heals and cures the depression. >> andrea: as the explain the runners high that we hear about. >> spkr2: >> that's a little bit. it's more of an endorse finish and pick me up when you're regularly running and you don't have to be an athlete or a marathon runner just getting out there and starting a program will rewire the brain. >> andrea: okay. >> in addition the studies also showed when you combined meditation that the changes that happened were more beneficial than doing meditation or running alone. so you combine running and a meditation practice every day, 20 minutes meditating, just trying to quiet the mind and it not only mood but also helps memory and focus. >> andrea: what is it about meditation because everybody braising about it. meditation -- i'm sorry. but it is hard for me to sit still and think of nothing for 30 seconds. >> most of us have busy brain. >> andrea: yeah. >> as a neurologist i teach corporate clients this all the time.
9:26 am
okay. >> an example, you know, inhaling to the count of 3. exhaling to the count of 5 and ux forking and that's how we quiet the mind. >> andrea: okay. do you have to do both to cure depression. >> in this study it showed if you combined both running and meditation over doing one that the results were better and that you are stronger than using antidepressant medication? 12k34r67 really. any other advice when it comes to battling the blues. >> don't try to self-diagnose talk to your physician or psychologist and make sure you have that diagnosis and work with a professional. that is well versed in natural therapies versus traditional, you know, to do this but this is all over the media. this particular particular story has been getting attention all week and, you know, clinicians are starting to take notice. >> andrea: doctor, thank you. where can people find you. >> for a free guided meditation go to my website dr. romie.com >> andrea: always great to see z
