ORLANDO, Fla. - A stormy stretch of weather continues across Central Florida as a cold front pushes into the region, bringing the potential for severe storms and a noticeable cooldown by the weekend.

What will the weather look like tonight?

What to expect:

Showers and thunderstorms popping up across the region through the rest of the afternoon. Best chances of the most widespread and intense storms will take place from around 4pm-9pm. This is when we could see storms become on the stronger side or reach severe strength.

We are in a Marginal Risk or level 1 out of 5 for severe weather for the rest of today.

Main impacts for the evening will be gusty winds, hail up to quarter sized, heavy downpours, and frequent, vivid lightning. Most of these thunderstorms will fizzle out by midnight. There will still be lingering showers through the overnight.

What will the weather look like this weekend?

Looking ahead:

Saturday: FOX 35 Weather Impact Day

Early Saturday morning, the cold front will push through the region. Timing right now starts to impact the northwestern parts of our viewing area at about 4AM, pushing into Orlando at about 8AM with showers tapering off by 2PM.

Any plans later on Saturday afternoon look good to go! Cooler air will push in behind the front, creating breezy conditions Saturday afternoon and evening. Because of the cooler air, temperatures will not be as hot on Saturday with temperatures in the mid-80s and overnight lows in the upper 60s.

Sunday: Start of Hurricane Season

Rain chances remain low on Sunday with only a pop-up shower or stray thunderstorm. Highs will bump back into the upper 80s with partly cloudy skies.

Something else that will be picking up next week will be the Saharan Dust sweeping off the coast of Africa, especially midweek. This could decrease air quality, firing up those who have allergies, and make for a more milky and muted look to our normally brilliant blue skies. On the bright side, it will make for more vivid and colorful sunrises and sunsets and keeping hurricane activity at bay for the first week of June.
