The Brief

    • Central Florida will see hot and breezy conditions through the weekend, with highs reaching the low to mid-90s inland and upper 80s along the coast. 
    • A slight chance of storms Monday could bring needed rain, but also raises wildfire risks due to dry ground and lightning.

What will the weather look like for the rest of the week?

Looking ahead:

Mostly sunny this weekend with highs in the low 90s on Saturday, and somewhere between 91-94 in inland areas on Sunday. Even at the beaches, Sunday will be hotter, with highs in the mid-high 80s on the East Coast before a sea breeze kicks in during the afternoon. The record high on Sunday is 97 degrees, so the expected high in Orlando will be short of record territory. 

The average high for the date is 85. There is a small (10-20%) chance for a pop-up thundershower Sunday afternoon along the I-75 corridor. Any activity would track SW in direction. 

Early next week, there is a small chance for a few PM showers and storms on Monday (30%) as a front comes by. At this time, it looks like the activity may be focused along the west coast sea breeze and any activity that does pop, will move westwards late Monday. Meaning, it is possible a large part of our central Florida communities miss out and only some receive beneficial rains. The best chance for showers and storms will be west of I-4 Monday PM. 

Monday's small PM storm chance is a double-edged sword. Where it does rain, is beneficial. But it could also spark new wildfires from lightning hitting torched and dry ground. 

Remember in Florida, lightning can strike over 10 miles away from a thunderstorm and a brush fire can be sparked by a single bolt. Tuesday and Wednesday next week will be dry with lower humidity and highs in the upper 80s.
