The greatest risk for stronger storms looks to be north of Orlando, where vivid lightning, gusty winds, hail, and even a brief isolated tornado can’t be ruled out.

Cooler temperatures on the way
Wednesday brings morning showers and a few storms, with conditions drying out by afternoon as a drier air surges in.
Also, temperatures will be cooler, with highs mainly in the low to mid 80s!
This cooler air will remain through Thursday and Friday, thanks to a busy northeast flow. That breeze will help pull in drier air and knock rain chances way down, likely near zero by Friday and Saturday.
The heat and more typical afternoon storm chances return early next week.
Tracking the tropics
Hurricane season is officially underway, and right now things are quiet.
There are no official areas of tropical development expected over the next 7 days.
