Orlando weather: Storms bring threat of severe weather before sunshine returns later this week

ORLANDO, Fla. - Scattered thunderstorms moving along the coast Tuesday evening could bring strong winds and large hail, with some storms turning severe.

On Tuesday, low pressure moving in from the Gulf is expected to produce widespread afternoon and evening storms, with the potential for heavy rain, lightning and localized flooding.

Orlando's Tuesday forecast

What To Expect:

Lows overnight will drop into the 70s across the region. 

The afternoon will heat up into the mid-to-upper 80s.

At this time, the Storm Prediction Center has not issued any severe risk for Tuesday, but heavy rain will remain possible. Temperatures will trend a bit cooler, with highs dropping into the upper 80s.

By Wednesday, high pressure building off the East Coast should bring drier and more pleasant conditions for the middle of the week. However, moisture will begin to increase again from the south late in the week, ramping up both rain chances and humidity as we head into next weekend.

Rain chances end late this week — briefly — before returning over the weekend.

Welcome to mid-May.
