ORLANDO, Fla. - Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to bring much-needed rain to parts of Central Florida on Monday evening.

What will the weather be like tonight?

What to Expect:

Skies will feature passing clouds with temperatures dipping to around 70 degrees. An east wind will remain gusty at 10 to 20 mph. A few thunderstorms are possible, mainly along and west of Interstate 75, impacting areas from Gainesville and Ocala to The Villages and Lakeland.

Showers and storms will gradually drift east from the I-75 corridor. The rain will be scattered and isolated, meaning not everyone will see showers.

What will the weather be like on Tuesday?

Looking Ahead:

Tuesday’s forecast calls for slightly cooler and drier conditions overall. Mostly sunny conditions are expected with afternoon highs reaching the mid-80s. 

Humidity levels will drop noticeably during the day. A few thunderstorms may develop along the Gulf Coast, but most activity will remain outside the immediate coverage area.

While a stray downpour could develop with the inland-moving sea breeze, most of Central Florida is expected to stay dry.

What will the weather be like the rest of the week?

Looking Ahead:

Dry and mostly sunny weather will dominate Wednesday through Friday, with highs climbing into the upper 80s. The weekend will bring continued warmth, with highs in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. A slight chance of isolated afternoon thundershowers is possible.

Drought Outlook:

Most areas will stay dry for the next week or longer, with drought conditions expected to worsen before any significant improvement occurs.
