WHAT IS THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR THE BEACHES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA?
If you are heading out to the beach today, you can expect mostly sunny skies through the morning hours. After 2 p.m., there is a rise in shower and thunderstorm activity. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors. Feels-like temperatures will be in the triple digits, so pack plenty of water and don't forget to reapply sunscreen. Rip current risk remains in the moderate range.
LOOKING AHEAD: Hot and steamy conditions will remain in place this week across the Florida peninsula. Afternoon highs will reach the mid to upper-90s in Orlando by the end of the work week and start of the weekend. As temperatures are on the rise, rain chances decrease. There is a 40% chance for storms this evening, with coverage decreasing to 30%, or less, by Wednesday and Thursday.
As for the tropics, there is an area of low pressure in the Caribbean Sea with a 30% chance for development within the next 5 days. Other than this area, things remain quiet in the tropics all thanks to Saharan dust that continues to move across the Atlantic this week.
