ORLANDO, Fla. – Happy weekend!
We start off Saturday with plenty of sunshine through the day across Central Florida. As we get the daytime heating going with the sea breezes, we’ll begin to see showers and storms develop after lunch. A pulse of energy north of the viewing area will send more showers and storms through the area around mid-afternoon. Showers and storms are expected to last through the evening.
Stronger storms are expected to produce heavy downpours, which may lead to localized flooding in the highlighted green areas. Gusty winds and frequent lightning will also be possible as storms get going.
Before the rain arrives, it’s going to be hot with temperatures forecasted to reach 96 degrees in the Orlando area and feeling like 107. It is important to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks if you’re outdoors.
Saturday night, showers and storms will slowly dissipate, leaving mostly cloudy skies with overnight temperatures holding steady in the middle to upper 70s.
The moisture and heat will stick around on Sunday. As the sea breezes increase through the afternoon, so will the rain chances. Expect a 70% coverage for wet weather across the viewing area. We’ll see partly cloudy skies, with highs in the lower 90s but feeling like the lower 100s.
In terms of tropical developments, the tropics remain inactive at the moment with no possible tropical developments in at least the next seven days.
