Sunday will feature mostly cloudy skies with a few showers, especially south of Orlando.

Rain becomes more widespread Monday morning, and high temperatures will struggle to climb out of the 70s.

Tropical wave could bring heavy rain and localized flooding to Central Florida Monday and Tuesday.

While rain is much needed, it is never a good thing to get it all at once. About 2 to 4 inches of rain will be possible from Monday morning through Wednesday morning. In isolated cases, that amount could be doubled. A few strong storms could also be embedded in the heavy rain Monday and Tuesday.

Scattered showers will continue to be around Wednesday, especially inland, but there may be enough clearing along the coast for the astronaut launch Wednesday.
