Hot, humid holiday weekend with daily storm chances

Heat index values could reach the upper 90s and low 100s as scattered afternoon storms continue through Memorial Day weekend

Next 4 days

ORLANDO, FLa. – A few lingering showers are possible tonight, with overnight lows staying in the 70s. The greatest chance for rain and thunderstorms (30–40%) is expected to develop inland during the afternoon, mainly west of I-95 where the sea breeze boundary collides. Any storms that form could bring gusty winds, frequent lightning, and brief heavy downpours before weakening later this evening.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND

The forecast remains largely unchanged through Memorial Day weekend and into early next week. Expect a typical late-May Florida weather pattern featuring warm afternoons, humid nights, and scattered sea breeze thunderstorms each day. Rain chances will tick up slightly this weekend as moisture increases, leading to more widespread inland afternoon and evening storms (40–50%).

Heat and humidity will likely be the bigger concern. Afternoon temperatures will continue to hover near 90 degrees, but rising humidity levels could push heat index values into the upper 90s and low 100s during peak afternoon hours.

LATE WEEK

Looking ahead to late next week, some forecast models suggest a potentially wetter pattern may develop, although confidence remains low this far in advance.
