Tracking system in Tropics: October 21, 2020

FOX 35 Chief Meteorologist Glenn Richards has the latest tropical activity in the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.

You don't want to forget your umbrella on Wednesday as it is expected to be a very wet day across Central Florida. 

"The trend overall today is giving us a signal of higher moisture count," said FOX 35 meteorologist Jayme King. "I've left rain chance boosted at 50-60% today compared to that 40% or less we had yesterday."

The rain will stick around for most of the day and eventually drop off later tonight. 

It will be a little breezy with scattered showers around. The good news is that all the clouds around will keep our highs down into the low 80s with 70s tonight.
