Two tropical waves are being monitored, but dry air and wind shear are making development unlikely for now.

The FOX Forecast Center is monitoring two areas for possible tropical development over the next 10 days or so – one being in the Atlantic and one in the Gulf.

Florida is bracing for a dangerously hot heat wave at the start of the week. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Heat Advisory for the Sunshine State, including the Central Florida region.

Central Florida faces a sweltering night Monday with lows near 80 degrees and heat index values still in the 90s, followed by another dangerously hot day Tuesday with heat index values expected to soar as high as 118 and only limited relief from scattered afternoon storms.

Record heat has hit Florida hard this weekend and Tampa Bay has now hit a new high temperature milestone.

With potentially dangerous heat over Orlando and Central Florida, there are plenty of free, public places in Orange County where people can escape the heat with indoor air conditioning or cool off in a splash pad.

The chances of being struck by lightning in any given year is 1 in 1.43 million, according to the National Lightning Safety Council.

Central Florida will continue to bake under extreme heat early this week, with Monday expected to bring the hottest temperatures of 2025 so far and heat index values soaring above 110 degrees.

A longtime centerpiece of the north-central Florida coastline is getting a long-awaited makeover after significant damage from hurricanes.

Central Florida is currently experiencing a dangerous heat wave, which is why the FOX 35 Storm Team has labeled Saturday through Tuesday as Weather Impact Days.
