Rainy weekend ahead for Central Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Florida has a rainy weekend ahead, but it won't be a total washout of a weekend.

All of Central Florida will be staying in the mid- to high 80s Saturday because of the heavier cloud cover throughout the afternoon, as well as the rain that will be moving through. Orlando will reach a high of 87 degrees today and will have a 70 percent coverage of rain.

Rain will first start to push onto the east coast by 2 p.m. and will last until 6 p.m. Then it will push into the interior section of Central Florida by 4 p.m. and will last until 8 p.m. It will then push to the west by 5 p.m. and last until midnight.

"By the time the rain pushes into the interior and west coast, we could see some chances of thunderstorms mixed in with the rain," News 6 meteorologist Madeline Evans said. "Because of all the rain, our fire danger is hovering around low to moderate for everyone, but we are still under that extreme drought."
