ORLANDO, Fla. – It's the same old summer song and dance in Central Florida Friday: more heat, more potential for some storms.
"We are pinpointing a large area of high pressure off the east coast that is dominating the weather for the next day or so," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said.
The area of pressure is allowing for an east coast seabreeze to continue pushing storms inland of the beaches.
