As the cold front pushes through, showers and thunderstorms are possible during the morning hours across Orlando and Central Florida. Those storms could clear out by the afternoon hours.

Best chance for storms: 4 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Highs look to be a little cooler with the help of the front, due to the clouds and the rain. Temperatures top out in the upper 80s with the humidity slowly dropping. 

What will the weather look like next week?

Dig deeper:

The progressive and more active pattern continues as we kick off the workweek, with our next disturbance coming down the pike. 

This wave looks to be a little stronger and brings more coverage of showers and storms on Monday. 

As this upper-level low exits, we shift into a more classic "summer" set-up with onshore flow and seabreeze-driven storms. 

This pattern unfolds on Tuesday through the late week, with daily chances for afternoon showers and storms. 

Highs look to stay close to seasonable norms for this time of year, topping out near 90°.
