Orlando weather: Storms, Saharan Dust shape Central Florida’s midweek weather

Orlando Weather Forecast PM: June 2nd, 2025

FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Noah Bergren is tracking showers and storms the next few days.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Central Florida will see mostly cloudy skies Monday night with temperatures dipping into the low to mid-70s.

What will the weather look like tonight?

What to expect:

While most areas are expected to remain dry, an isolated thundershower can’t be ruled out. Low temperatures will drop into the upper 60s and low 70s across much of the region.

What will the weather look like on Tuesday?

What to expect:

On Tuesday, clouds will linger with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible, particularly during the afternoon and evening.

Daytime highs are forecast to stay below seasonal averages, topping out in the mid-80s.

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

Looking ahead:

Wednesday brings a complex weather setup. Rain chances are expected to be high, though wildfire smoke and dust in the upper atmosphere could limit overall rainfall. Scattered thunderstorms and showers remain possible throughout the day.

By Thursday, a surge of Saharan dust will drift into the region, further reducing the rain potential.

Additionally, smoke from distant Canadian wildfires will bring reduced air quality to Central Florida.

Both of these factors will reduce air quality for much of the Sunshine State and could impact those with breathing or upper respiratory issues. The smoke and dust will also impact the appearance of our skies, giving a more milky look during the daylight hours and making for unique and more vivid sunrises and sunsets as well.

Tracking the Tropics

Local perspective:

In the tropics, meteorologists are monitoring a small area of disturbed weather off the Carolina coast with a low 10% chance of development. If it forms, it would likely be a weak tropical depression, with no significant impact expected for Florida.

Looking ahead to the weekend, conditions are expected to turn hotter and partly cloudy, with isolated afternoon thunderstorms possible along the sea breezes.
