Florida
This Central Florida city just tied an all-time weather record. Read all about big changes on the way
ORLANDO, Fla. – The heat was on today in Central Florida. Not quite the scorching summer sun, but definitely well above average and close to heat records.
Sanford is making headlines by tying the heat record set back in 1962 at a toasty 85 degrees.
The rest of Central Florida felt the heat too, with Orlando just shy of its 1962 record at 85 degrees, Daytona Beach reaching 83 (record 84 in 1962), Leesburg hitting 84 (just one degree off the 1962 mark), and Melbourne, slightly cooler at 80 not quite reaching the record of 84 also set in 1962.
This evening, we’re in for mainly dry conditions with temperatures gradually cooling through the 70s. Lows settle in the 60s under partly cloudy skies.
Buckle up for another weather rollercoaster ride from near heat records to a cool, jacket-worthy start to the week!
The real showstopper is expected to arrive early Sunday morning with a cold front that will bring with it a 30% chance of showers.
The rain will kick off northwest of Interstate 4, making its way to Orlando by 7 or 8 a.m. and finally exiting the Brevard coast around lunchtime.
There could be a thunderstorm or two, but most of the rain will range from light to moderate.
Highs will reach the upper 60s, almost hitting 70 degrees before the front moves in, dropping us to the low-to-mid 60s by 5 p.m.
Winds are set to kick up, coming from the west at 15-20 mph, later veering northwest to usher in even colder air tomorrow night. Wind will begin to slow down a little by Tuesday.
Get ready for a chilly start to the workweek, folks. Monday morning temperatures will have us reaching for our jackets with wake-up temperatures in the 40s.
Monday afternoon promises a lot of sunshine, but not a lot of heat. Highs slowly climb back to the low-to-mid 60s before another dip into the 40s overnight.
Those north and west of I-4 might want to layer up a bit more, as temperatures could dip into the upper 30s, approaching 40 degrees in some spots by early Tuesday morning.

TAMPA, Fla – New SNAP restrictions will start Monday in Florida.
What we know:
These changes will ban the purchase of many sugary sodas, energy drinks, candy and ultra-processed, shelf-stable prepared desserts.
Hunger Free America, an advocacy group, is against these restrictions.
Joel Berg, the CEO, said some regulation is a good thing, but he wants to see it support access to healthy foods as a choice.
“We do support mandates to mandate that healthier food is available in stores that do accept SNAP,” Berg said. “So, it makes a lot more sense to make it easier to get healthier food.”
Berg said these restrictions are unnecessary in achieving a healthier America.
“We should make America healthier again by making healthy food more affordable, convenient and physically available,” Berg said. “We shouldn’t micromanage the eating patterns of adults to try to achieve that goal.”
The other side:
This is part of the Make America Healthy Again initiative.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said, “Under the MAHA initiative, we are taking bold, historic steps to reverse the chronic disease epidemic that has taken root in this country for far too long.”
What they’re saying:
Berg said that these changes, on top of cuts to the program nationwide, will increase hunger.
“It’s not that low-income Americans don’t want healthier food; it’s that they can’t afford healthier food,” Berg said.
This coincides with the announcement that there will be cuts to WIC, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, which supplies food to mothers and young children.
“President Trump’s budget just announced that he’s proposing taking away fruits and vegetables from the WIC program for pregnant women and children under five,” Berg said. “So, they’re taking away healthier food.”
The WIC cuts would take away $1.4 billion in fruit and vegetable benefits from 5.4 million people.
Big picture view:
The SNAP changes come as part of the MAHA movement and include more than 20 other states that will implement changes over the next two years.
