ORLANDO, Fla. - Big changes are on the way across Central Florida as a cold front pushes through later Wednesday. This will help to bring a brief window of showers and thunderstorms to the region, mainly through late morning and into the early afternoon.
A few of these could be on the gusty side, with heavy downpours and lightning possible. A few rotating clusters will be possible as well, but our threat of tornadoes is very low today.
