Orlando weather: Quieter Sunday across Florida, but isolated storms still in play
ORLANDO, Fla. - Our Sunday is certainly quieter than how our weekend started with that cold frontal boundary now situated to our south. That front has stalled and it looks to wobble back to the north today.
Isolated showers and storms are possible as a result, especially south of Orlando. A couple of stronger storms are possible across South-Central and South Florida, so keep your eyes on the sky if you're traveling.
Highs look to jump back up close to 90°. Overnight, we'll see a mix of clouds and stars with lows near 70. A stray shower or storm is possible as well.
The progressive and more active pattern continues as we kick off the workweek too, with our next disturbance coming down the pike. This wave looks to be a little stronger and brings more coverage of showers and storms on Monday.
Widespread severe storms are not expected but a rogue strong to severe storm or two is possible, and it's something we'll continue to watch. Afternoon readings stay close to normal, rounding out near 90°.
Looking ahead
As this upper-level low exits, we shift into a more classic "Summer" set-up with onshore flow and seabreeze driven storms. This pattern unfolds Tuesday through late week with daily chances for afternoon showers and storms. The coverage is looking to be the greatest on Wednesday and Thursday as we still have a bit of upper-level support in the atmosphere. We'll likely see more clouds too and that'll hold temperatures down in the middle to upper 80s. Highs then look to rebound and stay close to seasonable norms into next weekend, topping out around 90°.

Much of Brevard under 'major' heat risk with triple-digit heat index
It's a scorching hot start to August in Brevard County. The Space Coast will experience triple-digit heat index temperatures the week of Aug. 3 triggering 'major' heat risk throughout most of the county. The 'major' heat risk is issued once heat index temperatures – a combination of humidity and the high temperature – reaches 108. If your part of the county isn't quite at that point, you're not far off. Most of the county will be hovering between a heat index of 105 and 108 through Aug. 6. Later in the week, it is expected to "cool" down, but not by much. 'Increasing cloud cover and rain chances will keep us generally below heat advisory criteria, but conditions remain hot and humid with heat indices up to 107 across much of the area, and the continued chance for one or two spots to briefly hit 108,' according to the National Weather Service in Melbourne. What will the temerpature be in Brevard County? As of Aug. 4, Brevard will experience highs in the low 90s. Chances of rain increase as the week continues starting at 50% and increasing to 60% by Aug. 7. How is heat index measure? Heat index is how it really feels when relative humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature. 'Heat index is an important consideration for the human body's comfort and is often called the 'feels-like" temperature,' according to the National Weather Service. When are heat watches, warnings, advisories issued? Extreme Heat Warning - issued within 12 hours, or up to 24 hours in advance (if confidence is high) when Heat Index values are expected to reach 113 or higher. Extreme Heat Watch - issued during the first 48 hours when Heat Index values could reach 113 or higher. Heat Advisory - issued within 12 hours, or up to 36 hours in advance (if confidence is high) when Heat Index values are expected to reach 108 to 112.

How Richard Blake's Local Leadership Forged A Generational Legacy.
When we think about leading figures within the Black American community, we often go to figures such as Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis, and Reverend Al Sharpton. While these icons rightfully have their place and recognition on a national stage, we tend to overlook local icons and heroes who are and have been tangibly building up resilient and prosperous Black communities. They are the principals who mentor our children, the public servants who ensure our neighborhoods thrive, and the community pillars who build institutions through sheer will and steadfast dedication. For the small town of Cocoa nestled in the heart of the Space Coast in Florida, Richard 'Dick' Blake was a larger-than-life hero who broke barriers while keeping the door open for others to walk through easily! Blake, who passed away this past June at the age of 91, was a proud beacon of progress in his community for over half a century. His life and work as a trailblazing educator, coach, and the longest-serving councilman in his city's history offer more than just a local story; it is a powerful blueprint for how true, lasting change is forged. The Educator as an Agent of Change Brevard County, Florida, like many counties in the South, maintained segregated schools for Black and white students. This 'separate but equal' doctrine was established in the Supreme Court Case Plessy v. Ferguson. Mr. Blake's start in education came after graduation from Florida A&M University, where he taught and coached in Brevard County. In 1955, he served as an educator and coach at Monroe High School, a school dedicated to educating the Black youth in Brevard County during segregation. From the beginning, Blake knew his responsibility extended far beyond administrative and coaching duties. It was his responsibility to lead the charge in creating equitable opportunity for Black students and the youth of Brevard County as a whole. His work and excellence at Monroe High School did not go unnoticed. In 1966, Blake was called to embark on a challenge that would change the course of history on the Space Coast: becoming the first Black Principal in Brevard County at the newly integrated Cocoa High School. Mr. Blake used his position and influence to champion excellence and higher education amongst his pupils, leveraging his advanced degrees from Columbia University and Florida A&M to inspire countless students to pursue their academic ambitions. In 2018, Cocoa High School honored Blake for his servant leadership by naming the Richard "Dick" Blake Stadium. This wasn't just a gesture of gratitude; it was an acknowledgment that he had built the very foundation upon which thousands of futures were launched. Building a Generational Dynasty of Service The most impressive aspect of Richard Blake's legacy is its generational nature. His commitment to civil rights and public service started in the home. Blake was born in 1933 in Bonaventure, a small community just south of Rockledge, Florida, to migrant workers. His father, Virgil, was the first Black American to serve on a major advisory board in the area. In 1976, Blake began his political career by being voted in as City Councilman of Rockledge, a position he held for four decades until he retired in 2016. He remains the longest-serving Council Member in Rockledge's history. In recognition of his years of leadership as Council Chairman, he was designated Chairman Emeritus in 2014. In his time as city councilman, he also served on the boards of Wuesthoff Hospital and the Child Care Association of Brevard County, outlining a key principle to his success: that true influence is woven into the fabric of your community. The health, safety, and well-being of his constituents were the ultimate benchmark and metrics of the success of his leadership. Mr. Blake did not just attend council meetings; he helped build lasting institutions. The legacy of Virgil and Richard Blake has now been passed down to a third generation. His son Michael Blake currently serves as the Mayor of Cocoa, continuing the family's commitment to the community. This succession is not a coincidence; it is the result of a lifetime of demonstrated values. Richard Blake didn't just teach servant leadership; he embodied it and created a family legacy that is now synonymous with public service in Brevard County. The Blake Blueprint: Lessons for Today's Leaders As we reflect on the life of Richard Blake, his career offers critical lessons for the Forbes BLK audience: Richard Blake may not have been a Silicon Valley CEO, a nationally known governor, or a Wall Street Titan, but he was a master architect of human potential. The life of Richard 'Dick' Blake reminds us that the most enduring legacies are often built quietly, consistently, and with a profound love for the people you serve.

FOX 35 Weather Impact Day: Heat advisories issued across Central Florida
The Brief Advisories have been issued across Central Florida for extreme heat. Highs look to top out in the mid-90s, but the higher dew points will make it feel close to 110°. Stay hydrated and try not to overexert yourself this afternoon. A ridge of high pressure is in control and that's one of the big reasons why the heat is our big story. We'll see partly cloudy conditions overnight with lows dipping back into the mid-70s for most locales. ORLANDO, Fla. - The heat is on once again and that is why the FOX 35 Storm Team has designated Saturday a Weather Impact Day. What will the weather look like today? What To Expect Advisories have been issued across Central Florida for extreme heat. Every county in the FOX 35/FOX 51 viewing area will be impacted. Highs look to top out in the mid-90s. The heat and humidity combo will be a tough one to combat, especially if you have outdoor plans. Stay hydrated and try not to overexert yourself this afternoon. A ridge of high pressure is in control and that's one of the big reasons why the heat is our big story. The higher dew points will make it feel close to 110 degrees, with the warmest part of the day peaking between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. An isolated storm or two is possible as the sea breezes interact, but with this ridge overhead, it'll be hard to get too much to develop. Most of the activity will likely form over the western portions of our viewing areas and fade by the evening. Overnight lows will dip back into the middle and upper 70s. What will the weather look like on Sunday? What To Expect We do it all over again on Sunday as highs rebound back into the mid-90s. Dew points in the middle to upper 70s will make it feel more like the upper 100s, which would likely mean we see another round of Heat Advisories issued. This ridge will continue to dominate our weather pattern, keeping things mainly dry and steamy. A stray storm or two is possible during the heating of the day, but they'll fade away into the evening as we lose the daytime-driven instability. We'll see partly cloudy conditions overnight with lows dipping back into the mid-70s for most locales. Tracking the Tropics Looking ahead The heat sticks around to kick off the workweek, but this area of high pressure starts to shift back to the west, allowing our weather pattern to become a little cooler and more unsettled. In fact, the same area of tropical moisture that used to be Invest-93L looks to round the ridge of move back toward Florida. Chances of showers and storms rise on Monday, but they still look to be scattered in nature. This area of low pressure then looks to bring more widespread rain to the region from Tuesday into midweek. With all the moisture in the air, flooding could be a concern, which is something we'll be watching closely. Another thing we'll be monitoring is if this low could reorganize into a depression as it works closer to the Gulf. Rain chances stay elevated through the late week with afternoon readings a little cooler, topping out near 90. We're also watching an area of showers and storms with a tropical wave in the Atlantic. This disturbance has a 20% chance of development over the next 7 days. It looks likely to encounter a more hostile environment later next week that should limit any sort of major development.
