What will the weather look like tonight?

What to expect:

ORLANDO, Fla. - A few thunderstorms early this evening. Do not think it will be as widespread as Tuesday evening's storms. Lightning, gusty winds, downpours, small hail mainly focused on the Atlantic Beaches.

What will the weather look like Thursday?

Timeline:

Much bigger coverage of storms with several strong storms likely, and a few severe storms possible. Torrential rains, vivid lightning, and a few pockets of large hail or 50-60 MPH wind gusts are possible in the mid-afternoon through the mid-evening.

Highs in the low to mid 90s with a heat index near 100 degrees before the thunderstorms start to pop off.

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

Looking ahead:

Friday evening into early Saturday morning, a cold front will approach Florida from the north. While a few isolated t-storms are possible Friday afternoon, the best chance for rain will be overnight Friday night into very early Saturday morning.

A line of showers and strong storms is possible Saturday morning between 2AM and 9AM. There is a small chance for a brief tornado or damaging wind gust with storms in that Saturday morning timeframe.
