ORLANDO, Fla. – Another round of scattered showers and storms is expected across Central Florida on Wednesday, with the greatest storm coverage developing between I4 and the coast.

LATE WEEK
Looking ahead, drier weather gradually returns late this week as high pressure builds back across Florida. Rain chances drop Thursday and Friday, as highs climb into the upper 80s degrees.
WEEKEND
By the weekend and early next week, temperatures begin climbing even further with highs returning to the low 90s. Higher humidity levels could push the feels like temperatures into the upper 90s.
