"Some storms will be strong, with 50 mph winds and very heavy rain," he said.

Temperatures will warm to 90 degrees in Orlando before the heaviest rain falls.

Rain chances will be at 50 percent on Friday and 40 percent for Saturday and Sunday.

High temperatures will be in the low 90s through the weekend.

Saturday marks the official first day of summer.
