Orlando weather: Widespread afternoon storms expected on Wednesday across Central Florida

Orlando Weather Forecast PM: July 29, 2025

FOX 35 Storm Team Senior Meteorologist Noah Bergren is tracking decreasing heat but increasing rain chances later this week.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A few thunderstorms are possible as we head into the overnight hours, but it will be mostly dry. It will feel very hot and humid through the night.

What will the weather be like on Wednesday?

What's next:

Central Florida will see slightly cooler conditions on Wednesday, though the heat remains firmly in place. Inland highs are expected to reach the upper 90s, with coastal areas topping out in the mid-90s — a 1- to 3-degree drop from Tuesday’s peak temperatures.

Scattered storms are forecast to develop across the Orlando area later in the afternoon and continue into the evening.

What will the weather look like for the remainder of the week?

Looking ahead:

The large dome of high pressure, which has been the culprit behind our intense heat, will shift gradually to the west in the coming days. This will allow sea-breeze showers and storms to set back up, meaning daily rounds of afternoon showers and storms will become more likely.

Temperatures, however, will stay above average as highs soar into the mid-90s.

There is the potential for a front to stall out over northern sections of Florida, which could bring added rounds of showers and storms late this weekend and into early next week.

Tracking the Tropics

In the Atlantic, there's no tropical development expected over the next seven days, per the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

We're still monitoring the few tropical waves that are across the Atlantic. What was a more prominent wave near the west coast of Africa yesterday has fallen apart quite a bit over the last 12 hours.

There are a few more waves, one near the south central Atlantic, and a few more near South America and the Caribbean Sea. The chance of these waves becoming a more organized system is quite low.

A large plume of Saharan Dust along with wind shear will help limit development for any system for at least the next week.

There are no areas of concern at this time and there are no impacts to Florida.
