Sunday:

Temperatures will be a little more uniform Sunday, but there will be division on who could see some bonus sunshine before clouds and rain return for everyone.

Future clouds and radar

Areas northwest of Orlando and Sanford have the best chance to get in on the sunshine while areas south will likely remain in the clouds. It’s here that temperatures will struggle to climb out of the 50s for afternoon highs. With the help of that bonus sunshine, areas north of Orlando could make a run for the mid 60s.

Regardless, it will be very cool everywhere in Central Florida on Sunday.

Widespread rain chances return Sunday evening and continue for the Monday morning commute. A general .25″ to 1″ of rain will be possible through late Monday morning.

Sunshine makes a comeback by Tuesday with the 80s returning for the middle of next week.
