We are pinpointing a new front moving into Central Florida late Sunday.

As many areas of the U.S. have suffered from harsh blizzards and disastrous tornadoes, a cold front closing in on Central Florida this week may also bring severe weather.

There are many ways to categorize a hurricane. The storm’s central pressure is one way. The height of its storm surge is another. How much rain it drops is another. And, of course, the strength of its wind is another. But what causes a hurricane to strengthen or weaken? The answer is simple enough, but multifaceted.

Just like Saturday, Sunday will start off with storms flirting with the east coast of Florida.

Powerful storms swept through the Ocala and Silver Springs area, causing damage described in part by the National Weather Service in Jacksonville as trees and powerlines “twisted together.”

We are pinpointing the risk of strong to severe storms into tonight.

We will pinpoint another round of storms into the late afternoon hours.

Just like Saturday, most of your Sunday will be dry and humid. Storms Sunday will likely get an even later start than Saturday. While the storms will be less widespread, a few could again be strong.

The highest coverage of storms will occur between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Sunday will not be a washout, but the storms will behave similarly to how they did Saturday.

The wet season has begun, but the sea breeze storms have mainly been hung up around I-75 until Friday. More storms arrive Saturday, especially late in the afternoon and evening. Like Friday, a few on/off downpours will be around through the first part of the day. The heavier rain and storms will arrive late in the afternoon and early evening.

The wet season. Its start is defined when cold fronts stop moving through and those daily afternoon storms Floridians are familiar with begin. The Sunshine State has been waiting for the wet season after the dry stretch most of the region has gone through. Down the pipeline, there looks to be major relief for your crunchy lawn.

Waves of rain are possible next week in Central Florida.
