Orlando Weather Forecast PM: July 21, 2025

FOX 35 Storm Team Senior Meteorologist Noah Bergren is tracking lots of showers and storms on the way for Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Brief

    • Tonight: A few strong thunderstorms are possible through mid-evening, followed by a very warm and humid night with lows in the upper 70s.
    • Tuesday & Wednesday: Widespread afternoon and evening storms are expected both days, with heavy rain, localized flooding, and the potential for severe weather.
    • Rest of the week/weekend: Storm chances taper off by Thursday, with drier air bringing hotter, more stable conditions and highs climbing back into the mid to upper 90s by the weekend.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Central Florida is in for a stormy start to the week, but much hotter and drier weather is on the way by the weekend.

What will the weather look like tonight?

We can expect a few thunderstorms through mid-evening Monday. One or two of these storms are expected to be strong. 

It will be very humid Monday night with overnight lows in the upper 70s to nearly 80 degrees, which tends to be extremely uncomfortable.

What will the weather look like on Tuesday & Wednesday?

Tuesday and Wednesday are being considered Weather Impact Days due to potential widespread storms and downpours. Mainly the second half of both days. Anytime, each afternoon and evenings are "fair game" for this activity.

Rain totals will vary immensely across our area. Everyone will get rain between this two-day span.

A handful of Severe Storm Warnings possible too for 60MPH wind gusts and/or large hailstones in a few towns/cities. 

Temperatures are expected to come down into the low 90s.
