Summertime weather pattern continues in Central Florida

50% chance of rain, highs in mid-90s on tap Friday

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.

Pinpointing the tropics

It's still hurricane season, but there's currently nothing to be concerned about in the tropics, according to Bridges.
