Orlando weather: Scattered storms return across Central Florida

Scattered storms are expected to continue through Friday. A frontal boundary that has lingered over Central Florida throughout the weekend will finally push northward overnight and into tomorrow. 

This shift will lead to more scattered rain and storm chances during the afternoons later in the week.

The eastern sea breeze will dominate, with storms likely to develop in the early afternoon and quiet down by evening. Temperatures will be slightly above average, ranging from the low to mid-90s. However, with high humidity, the heat index will make it feel like 101 to 106 degrees.

Tracking the Tropics

The tropics are currently quiet and are expected to remain so for the next seven days. While multiple tropical waves are present in the Atlantic, Saharan Dust is helping to keep things calm for now. However, models and the National Hurricane Center suggest that tropical activity could pick up again in the last few days of August and into the first week of September.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is closely monitoring a tropical disturbance for possible development over the Labor Day weekend or early next week. Forecasters are keeping their eyes on the region between the Lesser Antilles and Africa, where a disturbance is showing a 20% chance of formation.
