Big fall front to bring severe storms, drop temperatures in Central Florida this week

Central Florida will have nice weather to start this week before significant changes come.

We will see partly cloudy skies Monday and Tuesday with highs in the low to mid-80s.

A big fall front will arrive Wednesday, and the temperature will drop.

The front will bring a line of strong to severe storms as it moves through our area.

After the front moves through, chilly weather will follow in its wake.

Highs will be in the upper 60s on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Lows will also be in the 50s and 40s over the weekend.

A powerful typhoon wrecked houses, caused towering tidal surges and forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee to emergency shelters as it cut across the northern Philippines on Sunday in the sixth major storm to hit the country in less than a month. Typhoon Man-yi slammed into the eastern island province of Catanduanes on Saturday night with sustained winds of up to 195 kilometers (125 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 240 kph (149 mph). There were no immediate reports of casualties from the typhoon, which was forecast to blow northwestward on Sunday across northern Luzon, the archipelago's most populous region.

As the third named storm to emerge during November, Tropical Storm Sara serves as a reminder that the Atlantic hurricane season hasn't quite ended. Sara formed in the western Caribbean Sea before making landfall Thursday on the northern coast of Honduras, dumping torrential rains in a slow weekend crawl across parts of Central America. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm could dump up to 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) of rain in some areas and is expected to move over Belize Sunday before dissipating over the Yucatan Peninsula early Monday.
