Showers pop up across Central Florida

Rain chances decent most of week in Orlando area

ORLANDO, Fla. – Spotty showers are popping up across Central Florida.

"Moisture is increasing with a south wind across Central Florida," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said. "That moisture with the south wind is working with an area of low pressure developing in the Gulf of Mexico and in the southeastern U.S."

Rain chances stand at 60 percent during the day and 40 percent Monday evening.

"It will not rain all day all the time, but we will see off-and-on rain that will help with the rain deficit," he said. "We are currently 9.67 inches below in the rain gauge since January 1."

The high is forecast to hit 90 in Orlando on Monday. The average high on this date is 89. The record high is 97, set in 1962.

"Expect rain chances the rest of the week," Bridges said. "There's a 30 percent chance of rain on Tuesday, 60 percent on Wednesday and 40 percent on Thursday."
