ORLANDO, Fla. – A weak cool front is currently sitting over Central Florida Saturday, which will act as a triggering mechanism for a few scattered showers and storms throughout the weekend.
Pooled moisture near the front will remain in place with storm coverage favoring inland areas by the afternoon. Storm coverage sits at 40-50% after 2 p.m, with a few stronger storms lingering a few hours after sunset.
