The strongest storms could develop east of I-4 later today. There’s Marginal Risk of strong to severe storms, so be ready for some heavy rain at times, gusty winds up to 60 mph, and possibly even hail up to an inch. Can’t completely rule out an isolated tornado.
Expect highs to climb into the mid to upper 80s and that it’s not going to rain non-stop — there will be some dry spells between the rain.
