I recommend this bakery. They also have lactose free ice cream. I was just there the other day.

In Orlando, there is a spot where the smell of fresh-baked goods and sweet treats hits you the moment you walk in.

This is the most accurate weather forecasting system ever developed for the state of Florida, and honestly it should replace every radar tower, every weather app, and every meteorology degree currently trying to explain why the sky can be bright blue while lightning is actively striking the Publix parking lot.
The Florida Weather Station doesn’t need satellites or hurricane models.
It just needs a palm tree, a humidity reading, and decades of lived experience watching the atmosphere behave like it’s powered by pure chaos.
Every Floridian can read this sign once and immediately know the forecast for the next twelve hours.
Because Florida weather follows a very specific set of rules:
If the sky is perfectly blue: thunderstorm in 20 minutes.
If the forecast says 10% chance of rain: it will absolutely pour.
If the forecast says 90% chance of rain: nothing happens.
If it’s 75° outside: everyone says it feels cold.
If humidity hits 100%: congratulations, you are now swimming through the air.
If thunder appears at exactly 3:00 PM: that’s just the daily appointment.
If a hurricane is 500 miles away: the grocery stores are already out of water.
If the sun is out while it’s raining: normal Florida Tuesday.
The forecast inversion rule deserves special recognition because it is the most reliable meteorological law in Florida.
If your weather app says there’s a 10% chance of rain, bring an umbrella, because you’re about to get soaked walking from the parking lot to the door.
If it says 90% chance of rain, you’ll wake up to sunshine and a notification saying the forecast has been “updated.”
Florida meteorologists are not bad at their jobs.
Florida weather simply refuses to cooperate with physics.
And the humidity rule might be the most honest line on the sign.
If the humidity is high enough that your glasses fog up when you step outside, your car seat burns your legs, and your shirt sticks to your back before you reach the mailbox…
Congratulations.
That’s just summer. 🌴☀

Hoping for a calm season.

2026 HURRICANE SEASON 🌀 Hard to believe, but it's now 100 days away. The early outlook is for the number of storms to be closer to average or slightly above average. (It’s also February and by no means a lock or guarantee this early).

Long-range models are showing that the current La Niña is projected to flip to El Niño by the peak of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Historically, if that occurs, that would create higher wind shear across the Tropical Atlantic and Caribbean…helping to suppress or lower tropical activity. Stating the obvious, that doesn’t mean you can’t have hurricanes or US landfalls. Remember, it’s about impact, not just the number of storms.

Something we’ll have to watch would be the potential for warmer than average water temperatures across the Atlantic Basin…which could counteract the influence from El Niño and provide additional fuel for storms.

Although I won’t be on TV this hurricane season, that doesn’t mean I won’t be with you. In fact, it’ll be the opposite. I’ll be able to provide even more updates than ever before on multiple online and digital platforms. You can always trust me to be with you every step of the way all season long 24/7 with no hype, just the facts. In the meantime, continue to enjoy the off-season!

Brrrrr

🥶❄️ FLORIDA FREEZE ALERT ❄️🥶

Yep… you’re seeing that right. Freeze Watches are up for nearly ALL of Florida.
Palm trees are nervous. Citrus is panicking. Hoodies are about to do overtime.

This is a legit cold shot, especially for North & Central FL, with temps dipping into levels we just don’t do down here. Time to protect plants, pets, pipes — and maybe your pride if you break out the winter coat.

Florida 🤝 pretending this is the Arctic
Stay warm, y’all. 🧥🔥

Be aware!

⚡ Look out for Portuguese men-of-war in the water and on our beaches! If you see a purple flag waving by the beach, that's St. Johns County Marine Rescue warning you they've been spotted. If they're washed up on the sand, keep your distance—those venomous tentacles pack a powerful sting even after death. Sea turtles, sea slugs, crabs, and certain fish will eat the men-of-war they come across.
