Wednesday forecast for Orlando
What To Expect:
On Wednesday, a mix of sun and clouds is forecast, along with a greater chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
High temperatures are expected to reach around 90 degrees, with humidity pushing heat index values into the mid- to upper 90s.
Rain and storm coverage is expected to increase beginning Thursday and continuing through the weekend, bringing numerous afternoon downpours and thunderstorms across much of Central Florida.
Forecasters said humidity levels will climb to near-tropical levels by Friday and Saturday, making conditions feel noticeably more oppressive.
Tracking the Tropics
In the tropics, no systems are currently under official development advisories.
However, forecasters are monitoring the remnants of Tropical Storm Cristina in the eastern Pacific.
The system could move across Mexico and into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico later this week, where some limited redevelopment may be possible before any remnants move into eastern Mexico this weekend.
Meteorologists emphasized that tropical development remains uncertain and will continue to be monitored in the coming days.
