Widespread rain possible Sunday across Central Florida

50 percent chance of rain Sunday afternoon

ORLANDO, Fla. – It was another warm, almost summer-like day Saturday without much rain. Some brief showers occurred around St. Cloud and other parts of Osceola County.

Moisture is building in the atmosphere and that increase will help bring more widespread rain Sunday.

Overnight, there will be partly cloudy skies, mild temperatures and a chance of fog that could mix with smoke, causing cautious driving conditions in the morning.

Lows Saturday night will range from 64 degrees in Ocala to 69 degrees in Orlando and Palm Bay. There is a 20 percent chance of rain.

Sunday will start out partly cloudy, but by afternoon will become mostly cloudy with rain and thunderstorm chances at 50 percent. These will be scattered showers and some could produce rain from one-tenth of an inch to a quarter of an inch.

Not everyone will receive rain and the rain will not be enough to solve the drought. Highs on Sunday will range from 83 degrees in Daytona Beach to 85 degrees in Melbourne and 86 degrees in Orlando.

Rains are most likely to happen between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., with the strongest rains occurring in the early evening.
