Less rain, more heat expected in Central Florida

Rain chances go down starting Sunday

ORLANDO, Fla. – Good Sunday morning! We’re starting off dry across Central Florida. For any plans you have, the rain will hold off for the entire area.

Later this afternoon as the temperatures climb into the lower 90s, a west and east coast sea breeze will begin to develop. Along that boundary, a few storms will have the opportunity to fire up after 2 p.m.

With the drier air moving in, that’ll help keep many spots stay dry today. Any thunderstorm that pops up today could produce locally heavy rainfall and plenty of lightning.

Tonight a few showers are possible over our inland and coastal counties and everything should wrap up by 10 p.m.

The work week is looking very hot. An area of high pressure will begin to strengthen and expand over Texas and the Gulf Coast States. This setup has prompted numerous excessive heat warnings and heat advisories out west.

No warnings or advisories for east Central Florida, but it’s still going to get hot. Highs are expected to be in the middle 90s Monday through Wednesday, then in the upper 90s Thursday and into the weekend.

With the high humidity, it’ll feel like the triple digits. Practice heat precautions to stay safe in the heat.
