Orlando weather: Highs near 90s; rain possible for Memorial Day weekend
Orlando Weather Forecast: Tracking heat and PM showers
FOX 35 Storm Team Senior Meteorologist Noah Bergren is tracking showers this week in Florida and rising humidity.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Though west Florida has entered its rainy season – at an almost daily pace – Central Florida has yet to see some reprieve to the ongoing drought.
However, with slight chances of rain this weekend, that could change.
Chances of rain this week
What we know:
FOX 35's Noah Bergren predicted a high chance of rain next week, with mid to low percentages this week.
Here's what the forecast shows:
- Tuesday, May 19: 89 degrees, 20% rain
- Wednesday, May 20: 89 degrees, 20% rain
- Thursday, May 21: 90 degrees, 20% rain
- Friday, May 22: 90 degrees, 20% rain
- Saturday, May 23: 91 degrees, 40% rain
- Sunday, May 24: 91 degrees, 40% rain
- Monday, May 25: 92 degrees, 40% rain
Daily 90-degree weather
Monday night: Tonight will feature hot and increasingly humid conditions across Central Florida. Aside from a very isolated evening thundershower, most neighborhoods will stay completely dry. Expect partly cloudy skies overnight as low temperatures drop into the sticky low 70s.
This week: Most of the daily storms and showers popping up each afternoon will be located on the west coast of the state, on the I-75 corridor, outside of our region.
When we have an east flow in summer, that means the storms that pop up move west away from Orlando, and mostly aren't for us. Temperatures daily steady near 90 for afternoon highs with elevated but not super high humidity.
Looking ahead
Getting closer to declaring the start of the rainy season in Central Florida, it's fair to say it has officially started on the west coast of Florida as of this week. There's slightly better, but still not high chances for afternoon rain Saturday and Sunday this weekend, with highs near 90.
