Orlando Weather Forecast: Stormy Sunday ahead
Saturday will be mostly dry and pleasant before rain settles over Florida on Sunday. Storms are possible on Sunday afternoon over parts of Central Florida.
ORLANDO, Fla. - A bit of fog is possible early along the I-75 corridor and areas west of Orlando. Otherwise, it is a mostly sunny day with temperatures near 70 degrees along the beaches and mid-70s inland areas. No chance of rainfall.
Sunday brings a tricky forecast with multiple waves of weather. A shield of rain showers, with some embedded moderate bursts, comes across the state from daybreak through noon or so. Then the rain stops, and dry conditions return to the early-mid afternoon. A few sunny breaks might even develop in the afternoon.
Now, what we are looking for is the potential for more showers and storms to form in central and northern Florida, with a front advancing across the state. If more sunshine breaks out, it could add some storm fuel/instability to the atmosphere and increase the chance of some strong or severe storms. There is enough wind energy in the atmosphere that a damaging wind gust or tornado or two could occur if some more ample sunny breaks develop.
This activity would be in areas north of Orlando, if it happened at all, between 3 p.m. and 7 pm. Otherwise, many areas around and south of downtown Orlando could stay mostly dry, save for a passing shower or downpour the rest of the late afternoon and evening.
Next week
MONDAY: The upper-level low pressure sits and swirls over Florida with mostly cloudy weather and a chance for showers and non-severe storms all day. There is so much cold air aloft in the sky that a few of the showers could also produce small, pea or marble-sized hailstones, particularly in the afternoon hours.
TUESDAY AND BEYOND: Clouds and breezy weather linger through Tuesday next week, with some large breaking waves of 6-10 feet-plus feet along all Atlantic-facing beaches through Thursday next week. Back to dry and sunnier weather next Wednesday and Thursday as the low pressure finally pulls far enough away and east of Florida into the Atlantic Ocean.
