Orlando weather: Another stormy week lies ahead with spotty flooding possible in Central Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. - A stormy afternoon is ahead on Tuesday, with highs reaching the upper 80s to near 90°. 

This pattern will continue through the week but we may see dryer days on the horizon as Tropical Storm France draws moisture away from Florida.

Tracking the Tropics

Tropical Storm Francine formed on Monday in the western Gulf of Mexico and is tracking toward Louisiana. It is expected to strengthen into a Category 2 hurricane by midweek before making landfall. Impacts will include storm surge, flooding rains, damaging winds, and tornadoes. 

The Houston region would be largely spared on this eastern track. No direct impacts to Florida, but other tropical waves in the Atlantic may ultimately threaten our region over the next two weeks.
