Orlando weather: Rain begins to diminish as we head toward the weekend

ORLANDO, Fla. - Rounds of heavy rain will continue to soak Central Florida on Wednesday, but that will begin to trail off as we head into the overnight hours. 

Here's a look at what to expect from the weather today, as well as a look ahead to the rest of the week. 

What will the weather look like tonight?

What To Expect:

A low pressure system continues to hold across Florida, which has led to increased rain and has left the ground very saturated. 

The majority of the widespread rain will linger through the early overnight, but some scattered showers will linger through the overnight.

Drier air will gradually filter into the region, meaning lower chances of rain and a break from this stretch of unsettled weather. 

Temperatures will be a little below average too, with highs around the mid-to-upper-80s through the weekend. 

Saturday and Sunday look to be beautiful days with only around a 20–30% chance of a few isolated downpours and storms.

Big picture view:

In the Atlantic basin, things are pindrop quiet with nothing expected over the next seven days. 

What is traditionally one of the most active times of the year is very calm right now, but a lot of hurricane season remains. Things still look to become more active by later this month and in October.
