week keeps on going Thursday with a high of 84 degrees. With this much heat, the sea breezes will kick in.

The heat and wind won’t be able to produce any severe weather, but they will collide each day.

Each day there will be a chance of light showers and maybe a rumble of thunder.

By Friday, the next cold front will be on the way. This front will push Central Florida’s rain chances up to 50 and 60% for Friday and Saturday.

The high on Saturday will drop into the 70s.
