WHAT IS THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR TODAY AROUND ORLANDO?

Tonight’s forecast low: 76 degrees
Tomorrow's forecast high: 93 degrees

Main weather concerns: Showers and storms will be on the rise Tuesday afternoon. The west coast sea breeze is dominant, so shower and storm activity will move northeast. You can expect frequent lightning, gusty winds up to 40 mph, and heavy rainfall. Temperatures will be in the low-90s across the region with feels like temperatures in the triple digits. Stay hydrated and weather aware.

WHAT IS THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR WALT DISNEY WORLD, UNIVERSAL, AND SEAWORLD?

Another rainy afternoon/ evening for the parks on Tuesday. The rain will start around 3pm and will last for a few hours. Temperatures will max out in the low 90s.

WHAT IS THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR THE BEACHES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA?

The shower and storm activity will be moving from west to east across the Florida peninsula, so if you are headed to the Atlantic beaches on Tuesday, it will not be until late afternoon when the storms arrive. The surf will range between 2-3 feet with a moderate risk of rip currents. Swim near an open lifeguard stand.

LOOKING AHEAD: The start of the week brings higher chances of showers and storms before drier air arrives midweek. Temperatures will be in the low to mid-90s throughout the week with feels like temperatures soaring to the triple digits.

The tropics remain quiet due to the Saharan Dust pushing off the coast of Africa. If anything changes the FOX 35 Storm Team will be the first to let you know.
