ORLANDO, Fla. – A much wetter pattern is setting up for the end of the weekend, with Sunday expected to bring widespread rain and storms to the area.
After a near record hot weekend, rain chances will begin to increase late Saturday through most of Sunday as a front moves closer to Central Florida.
Storm coverage looks to become much more widespread, with rain chances climbing to around 60 to 70 percent throughout Sunday.
Latest rainfall models are showing the chance for beneficial rainfall, with some areas racking up 1-2 inches of rain from late Saturday through Sunday.
Along with the rain, there will be a chance for a few stronger storms to develop, producing lightning, gusty winds, and heavy downpours.
All this rain is certainly welcomed as drought concerns continue to grow, as burn bans are reissued and fire danger stays high. This weekend’s rain could certainly help put a slight dent in our ongoing drought.
The exact timing and totals of Sunday’s rain event is still being ironed out, so make sure to check back with the News6 Weather Team for the latest updates as we get closer.
