ORLANDO, Fla. – It's more of the same when it comes to the weather forecast in Central Florida: highs in 90s and afternoon storms.

"We are pinpointing the risk of strong to severe storms Thursday afternoon," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said. "The timeline will be after 1 p.m. Expect winds greater than 50 mph, as well as very heavy downpours that could lead to localized flooding and frequent lightning."

"The trend with the east and west coast sea breezes battling it out continues through the weekend," Bridges said.

There's also a 60 percent chance of rain on Friday.

"We will bump rain chances to 70 percent on Saturday," he said. "There's a 50-60 percent coverage of rain Sunday through next week."
