ORLANDO, Fla. – Believe it or not, it may rain in Central Florida as the weekend nears.
"High pressure will finally begin to break down and allow a weak front to move closer to the region," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said.
Expect a 30% coverage of rain after 2 p.m. Friday.
"We could see a couple of thunderstorms, but we will not have widespread rain as the east and west coast sea breezes interact with the frontal boundary."
A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for Volusia County for 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Residents should seek shelter because wind gusts up to 60 mph are possible as well as penny-sized hail.
The high will reach 96 in Orlando. The average high in Orlando is 90. The record high is 102, set in 1945.
Highs will stay in the mid- to upper 90s through the weekend, with a 30% percent chance of rain Saturday. Rain chances dip to 10% Sunday.
