ORLANDO, Fla. – Very quiet this morning across Central Florida.

We’re starting off with sunshine, but as we go through the day, scattered rain and thunderstorms are likely to pop up due to the sea breezes meeting. Enough lift could cause a few thunderstorms to become strong, producing heavy rain, gusty winds, lightning and small hail.

Winds are expected to pick up in a few areas this afternoon out of the southwest as the sea breezes move in. Highs will be slightly above normal, climbing into the lower 90s and staying humid.
