ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Florida just can’t seem to shake off the storms this week.
Daily showers and storms are sticking around, especially near the coast, as the afternoons wind down.
If you’re out and about, it’s a good idea to keep an umbrella within reach; the rain coverage is expected to climb into the 40% to 50% range on Thursday.
Looking ahead, rain chances are expected to gradually climb even higher with the approach of the weekend.
An area of low pressure—paired with a warm and cold front—will move in from the north, bumping rain coverage to around 60% by Friday.
The weekend forecast shows those showers aren’t planning to leave any time soon, so plan for more wet moments throughout Saturday and Sunday.
By the weekend, the combination of increased rain and cloud cover to help nudge daytime highs back down into the upper 80s—a welcome break for anyone looking to escape the peak summer heat.
This cooling trend is likely to hold as we move into the upcoming work week.
The seven-day weather forecast from News 6 highlights a persistent pattern: Thursday’s rain chance sits at 50%, rising to 60% for Friday, and holding strong through the weekend.
Temperatures should stay mainly in the upper 80s for several days after Friday as rain and cloud cover linger.
While specific timing for every storm isn’t nailed down, the biggest theme is simple—be ready for scattered showers throughout the next several days.
