ORLANDO, Fla. – After a foggy start across some areas in Central Florida, temperatures are expected to quickly climb with a few spotty sea breeze showers through the afternoon.
Highs are expected to reach the low to mid 90s along the coast, with inland communities warming into the mid to upper 90s.
When humidity is factored in, heat index values will soar between 102 and 106 degrees.
A weak offshore wind pattern will allow the east coast sea breeze to move inland this afternoon, offering a brief break from the heat near the coast, with highs in the low 90s.
Rain chances are lower than they have been in recent days as drier air filters into the area. Still, isolated to scattered afternoon and evening storms remain possible, with the best chance for development focused inland from Orlando southward (30-40%).
Any storm that develops could produce wind gusts up to 50 mph, frequent lightning, torrential downpours, and localized flooding.
Expect very similar conditions through the majority of the week, with feels-like temperatures in the triple digits and a few spotty sea breeze storms.
