ORLANDO, Fla. – A quick line of showers passed through the area Saturday afternoon, but the big story is the rain and storms expected Saturday night.
A storm system in the Gulf of Mexico is trying to reach the Atlantic and will bring with it a stronger line of showers and thunderstorms during the night. It will race through the area from the southwest to the northeast at 30-40 mph. These storms will be capable of producing frequent cloud-to-ground lightning, gusty winds, heavy downpours and possible small hail. Impact time is expected between 8 p.m. and 1 a.m.
