Orlando Weather Forecast: Sept. 1, 2024

FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Laurel Blanchard has your updated Labor Day Weekend forecast across the Central Florida region, including just how much rain is expected in your area on Monday.

Sunday night forecast

ORLANDO, Fla. - Storms are slowly tapering off through Sunday evening across the Central Florida region. A few showers will linger overnight, plus partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies, humid conditions and low temperatures in the mid 70s. 

Labor Day forecast

On Monday, much of Central Florida is looking at a rinse-and-repeat of what the weather was like on Sunday. Highs will stay in the low 90s, with the heat index reaching 100 to 105 degrees in the afternoon, before any thunderstorm activity. 

Storms will start to move in from the southeast at around 1 p.m. on Monday. Storm chances will be widespread with torrential rain and lightning. 

Tropics forecast

The FOX 35 Storm team is now watching three areas:

  • There is a wave just about to make its way off the coast of Africa. There is a 20% chance of formation off the African Coast in the next seven days. As of now, it is not a disturbance, but once it makes its way completely off the African coastline, it will be labeled as a disturbance if it continues to have the potential to develop.
  • The main wave that we are watching that could become Francine has a 40% chance of seeing development in the next seven days in the Southern Caribbean towards Mexico, Honduras and Nicaragua coastline. The ocean water is very warm in the area of the zone that will act as jet fuel if the disturbance could allow this disturbance to strengthen quickly.
  • There is still a wave in the Gulf off the coast of Texas and Louisiana that has a 20% chance of tropical development within the next seven days.
