Orlando weather: Major heat continues across Central Florida
Orlando AM Weather Forecast: Hot, steamy day ahead
Tuesday will not be as rainy and stormy as the last few days. But it will still be hot and humid with temperatures climbing to the upper 90s across Central Florida. FOX 35 Storm Team meteorologist Jessica Dobson takes a look at the forecast.
ORLANDO, Fla. - A hot and drier-than-normal day is in the works across Central Florida for our Tuesday.
FOX 35 Storm Team Alert
Afternoon highs will soar into the mid and upper 90s. For perspective, our average highs are typically around the low 90s.
High heat index:
While the humidity levels today won't be quite as intense as last week, it will be enough for the heat index to approach dangerous levels.
Plan for feels-like temperatures to peak in the range of around 102-107°.
One of the factors in the hot temperatures today will be the fact that the majority of Central Florida will be dry. This will keep skies mostly clear, with the sunshine helping to heat things up even more.
