Rest of the week
Rain chances increase slightly mid-week with more scattered afternoon/evening storms. Most daily PM activity will stay focused on the west coast (I-75 corridor / Tampa Bay side) due to the typical east coast summer flow—storms pop and move west away from Orlando.
Highs steady near 90°F daily with elevated (but not extreme) humidity.
Memorial Day Weekend outlook
Warm and muggy with isolated storms this weekend.
The rainy season usually begins around May 24 in Central Florida, but the pattern has effectively established itself about a week early this year.
From here on out, our rain chances will be primarily driven by the sea breeze collision zones, where the east coast sea breeze meets the west coast sea breeze in the middle of the peninsula.
