Orlando weather: Heat advisory in effect as temperatures continue to soar

ORLANDO, Fla. - A heat advisory is again in place for most of the day Saturday as brutal temperatures continue to plague Central Florida.

Here's a look at what to expect from the weather today, tomorrow and heading into next week.

What will the weather look like this afternoon and tonight?

What To Expect:

A heat advisory is in place once again across Central Florida. This will be in place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. 

Afternoon highs will reach the low and middle 90s, with feels-like temperatures around 105-109°+. Be sure to take it easy if you have any outdoor plans, and stay hydrated! 

Scattered showers and storms will also return this afternoon. The best chances of rain will take place from 3-8 p.m. Heavy rain is likely, along with frequent lightning, gusty winds and possible small hail. 

However, showers and storms will fade around 9 p.m.

Temperatures will be slow to cool off, with lows falling into the upper 70s.

What will the weather look like tomorrow?

What's next:

The rest of this weekend features the same hot and humid temperatures as Saturday, with above-normal highs in the mid-90s. 

Scattered afternoon storms will also be likely again, with heavy rain and frequent lightning expected. The storms are expected to fire up around 2-3 p.m. and stick around through the early overnight hours.

What will the weather look like next week?

Looking Ahead:

Monday continues the hot and stormy pattern with afternoon and evening storms.

Looking ahead into Tuesday and Wednesday, slightly lower chances of rain are on the way as drier air gets pushed into the region by Hurricane Erin. 

As Erin follows up the East Coast, drier air will be pushed in, cutting down the rain chances and humidity midweek. Highs will be in the low-90s for most midweek.

Big picture view:

Hurricane Erin is still forecast to turn north and stay east of the United States east coast. 

However, here if Florida, we still will feel the impacts.

Rough surf and large crashing waves will likely begin Tuesday and last through early Thursday. Swells could reach heights of up to 9-10 feet. A high risk of dangerous rip currents is also expected during this timeframe. Even for the strongest swimmers, surf conditions will be rough and dangerous.
