[{'start': '1.067', 'end': '2.935', 'text': "LONG RANGE FORECAST.  WE COULD SEE THE NEXT SEVEN  DAYS.  THIS ONE LOOKS REALLY GOOD  BECAUSE IT FINALLY INCLUDES SOME  RAIN.  LET'S GET IT RIGHT UP THERE.  YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE  HEAD THERE, MICHELLE.  I'LLLL TELL YOU WHAT.  WE NEED THE RAIN.  THERE IT IS.  SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND MONDAY.  SATURDAY IT'S GOING TO BE LATE  AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AS  HEAVY ON SATURDAY AS IT WILL BE  ON SUNDAY.  SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ONE OF  THE TWO DAYS TO DO SOMETHING  OUTSIDE.  YEAH, THERE WILL BE A COUPLE  LIGHTNING STORMS FAVORING THE  EASTERN SIDE OF THE PENINSULA.  BUT OVERALL, I THINK THE  RAINFALL COVERAGE IS GOING TO BE  HIGHER SUNDAY ON INTO MONDAY.  THOSE ARE GOING TO BE THE TWO  CRITICAL DAYS FOR US TO PICK UP  SOME MUCH NEEDED RAIN, AND THEN  THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING  SHOWERS.  THE MODELS ARE TRYING TO FIGURE  OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE FRONT IS  JUST GOING TO KIND OF FIZZLE OUT  OVER US.  SO FOR ME, I'M GOING TO KEEP THE  CHANCE FOR RAIN SATURDAY, SUNDAY  AND MONDAY HERE AS WELL.  ALONG THE COAST, TEMPERATURES  WILL BE A LITTLE BIT COOLER AND  DEPENDING UPON HOW QUICKLY THAT  FRONT WASHES OUT AND LIFTS TO  THE NORTH WILL DETERMINE WHETHER  OR NOT WE TAKE THE RAIN OUT OR  IF WE ACTUALLY KEEP IT AROUND.  LET'S TAKE YOU TO THE PORT RIGHT  NOW ARE THE BEAUTIFUL DISNEY  CRUISE SHIP OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.  FANTASTIC.  DOWNTOWN ORLANDO.  FEW CLOUDS OUT THERE.  ALSO.  VERY FANTASTIC.  NOW, WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT THE  CONFIGURATION OF THE JET STREAM  IS SHOWING A FARTHER DIP.  AND ONCE THIS PIECE IS ABLE TO  ROTATE AROUND AND HELP THIS  FRONT KIND OF LIFT ON  SOUTHEASTWARD, THAT'S WHERE  WE'LL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO  DISPLACE THAT BIG HIGH TO THE  EAST OF FLORIDA AND GET SOME  RAIN IN HERE TO HELP OUR FIRE  DANGER INDEX, WHICH IS MODERATE  TO HIGH.  ONCE AGAIN, CURRENT BURN BANS  REMAIN IN PLAY FOR ALL BUT  MARION COUNTY.  BUT MARION COUNTY, I WANT YOU TO  TREAT IT AS THOUGH YOU'RE IN IT.  OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE IN EXTREME  DROUGHT, SO THERE'S A GOOD  REASON WHY I WANT YOU TO TREAT  IT THAT WAY.  82, 78, 74 THIS EVENING.  NO MENTION OF ANY RAIN.  WE TAKE A LOOK AT FUTURECAST  HERE FOR YOU.  OUT THE DOOR IN THE MORNING.  QUIET NOW.  THE MODELS ARE HINTING AT MAYBE  JUST A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS AS  THAT EAST TO EASAST SOUTHEASTERY  FLOW PICKS UP, AND THEN THERE  COULD BE A LITTLE BIT OF FOG  DEVELOPING TOMORROW NIGHT INTO  SATURDAY MORNING.  TEMPERATURES TOMORROW.  ANOTHER STEP UP 86 WEDGEFIELD  87.  WINTER GARDEN 88 INTO POINCIANA  OFF TO THE WEST, NEARING THE 90  DEGREE MARK.  OFF TO THE EAST ALONG THE COAST  WILL BE RUNNING IN THE LOWER  80S, COMPLIMENTS OF THE ONSHORE  FLOW.  THOSE COOLER ATLANTIC WATERS NOW  OCALA TOMORROW, NEAR THE 90  DEGREE MARK, THERE'S DAYTONA  BEACH ONCE AGAIN, LOW 80S.  WATCH THOSE DANGEROUS RIP  CURRENTS.  I CAN'T STRESS THAT ENOUGH.  SATURDAY SHOWERS AND STORMS  FAVORING THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE  PENINSULA.  SUNDAY.  IT MAY BE MORE AREA WIDE AND A  MORE BENEFICIAL RAIN HERE AS WE  HEAD INTO SUNDAY.  SO MONDAY THE FRONT'S JUST GOING  TO KIND OF STALL OUT HERE A  LITTLE BIT AND THEN LIFT BACK TO  THE NORTH.  THAT'S WHY THE RAINFALL CHANCES  WILL BE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER  SUNDAY INTO MONDAY WEEKEND.  HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THE MOST  PART RUNNING IN THE UPPER 80S TO  NEAR THE 90 DEGREE MARK.  SO THERE'S THE FRONT JUST KIND  OF STALLING OUT, LIFTING BACK TO  THE NORTH, WASHING ON OUT.  EUROPEAN COMPUTER MODEL.  AGAIN, THE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH  THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS HINTING AT  THE POTENTIAL FOR 2 TO 3IN OF  RAIN.  GFS ISN'T HAVING IT AS OF RIGHT  NOW.  NOW, A LOT OF TIMES IN MAY, ONE  OF THE THINGS THAT CAN REALLY  HELP US OUT IS ON THE TAIL END  OF A FRONT.  AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS  SUBTROPICAL OR TROPICAL, CAN  SOMETIMES DEVELOP AND PRODUCE  SOME SIGNIFICANT RAIN THAT IS  NOT IN THE PICTURE, BUT IT'S  JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT  COULD HELP US OUT LATER ON THIS  MONTH.  WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THAT.  SO SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY,  FALLING BACK INTO THE LOWER 80S,  THEN HEATING UP TOWARDS THE  MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK ALONG THE  COAST.  THERE RAINFALL CHANCES GOING TO  KEEP THE TEMPERATURES DOW"}]
