Wildfires Rage Across Cetnral Florida on Monday
I knew it wouldn’t take long before the Florida wildfire threat would increased, as it’s been extremely dry now for weeks. The last 3-4 days have been very windy, dry, and hot, with record temperatures in the lower to mid 90’s. Last night a weak cold front moved through, only helping to lower the temps some and dry the atmosphere out even more. The last few days the strong winds have been from the west, but expected to become northerly today behind this front, so a lot of the smoke from the Brevard County wildfires near Palm Bay and Melbourne might make it into metro South Florida today.
Out Shooting Today In Hard Hit Area’s Of Central Florida
Yesterday, several homes were lost to out of control wildfires in Central east Florida. Interstate I-95 was closed. These fires continue this morning, and might flare up again once the winds return by afternoon. I’ll be up in Central Florida today covering the wildfires and some of the aftermath from yesterday firestorm that went through the residential Melbourne region.
There are other ongoing wildfires across Florida as well that need to be watched, and I’ll be monitoring these today too. I’ll have an update with video and pictures of the Florida wildfires 2008 throughout the week.
