ORLANDO, Fla. - Tonight's low: 73 degrees

Main weather concerns:
Isolated showers continue to move in from the Atlantic. Most will clear out by sunset. The coastal communities still will have a 30% chance of showers throughout the night. None of the showers will be severe. Rip currents and high sea remain a problem as there is an easterly flow.

BEACHES:
Sunday will be another rough surf day for the beaches. With easterly winds surf will be around 6 feet. Rip current risk will be high. It is best to stay out of the water this week. Showers are temperatures peak in the low 80s.

THEME PARKS:
There is a slight chance of rain for the parks tomorrow. Temperatures are slightly above normal, reaching the mid 80s. Make sure to drink lots of water to stay hydrated.

OUTLOOK:
Rain chances increase within the next several days. We have an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms trying to develop. We are monitoring this area of low pressure for subtropical or tropical development. High pressure to our north with this area to our south is tightening the pressure gradient and increasing wind speeds across Central Florida.

Beyond that, we're monitoring the said low for tropical or subtropical development. This potential system could move near or on top of Florida by midweek. Local impacts could include steady midweek rain, wind gusts 20-40 mph, rising seas-surf, beach erosion during times of higher tides as the full moon phase influences tide cycles.

TROPICS:
The FOX 35 Storm Team is monitoring an area of showers and thunderstorms in Eastern Carribean, with a chance to impact Florida. In the next two days this broad area could gain subtropical or tropical characteristics.
