There's a 30% chance of a shower or storm south of Orlando.

Tonight will be mostly clear skies, with a low of 77°.

Our Saturday features a sunny morning, but isolated late-day storms, then more numerous storms after dinnertime. High 96°.

Daily storms return Sunday

Numerous daily afternoon storms, as we return to our more typical rainy season setup.

Moisture will be enhanced with 7-day totals over 6 inches possible, as a weak cold front stalls north of Florida.
