Orlando AM Weather Forecast: More rain on the way
Central Florida can expect another round of rain on Friday, with thunderstorms arriving in the afternoon. FOX 35 Storm Team meteorologist Brooks Garner takes a look at the forecast.
ORLANDO, Fla. - A very warm and muggy start to our Friday is underway across Central Florida ahead of what will be a very seasonable and Florida-like day as a whole.
Afternoon highs will be near normal, climbing into the low 90s inland and into the upper 80s along the coast.
By noon, isolated showers and downpours will begin to pop up. By 3 p.m., these storms will continue to blossom and develop.
Storm chances will peak at around a 70% chance during the mid and late afternoon hours. Pockets of heavy rain and frequent lightning will be possible at times.
By midnight, any lingering showers or storms will fade or depart.
Even though we'll be dry overnight, it will stay quite humid. Temperatures will dip down into the mid 70s for morning lows.

More rain and thunderstorms likely next week
For next week, a weak front is expected to stall over Central Florida. While we're still eyeing exactly where the front stalls, high moisture levels across the region mean rain and thunderstorms are likely through the middle of the week.
There is a 50% to 70% chance of rain each day, with storms most likely to develop in the afternoon.
Lightning and heavy downpours will be the main threats. While most areas will see around roughly an inch of total rainfall next week, the stalling front means some neighborhoods could experience much higher amounts.
Because of the rain we've already seen and will see over the weekend, any spots that see repeated heavy downpours may cause isolated areas of flooding.
Temperatures will start near normal early in the week, dropping to slightly below average by mid-week as the front settles over the area.
