ORLANDO, Fla - Well, it's that time of year, right? Hot, humid and the obligatory afternoon downpours. 

Status quo weather remains in play for Central Florida through the weekend. There will be a weekend rainfall pattern change as winds shift off the Atlantic. 

High temperatures will be sizzling hot in the low-mid 90s, rain chances fire up mainly after 2-3 p.m. in the afternoons. 

High levels of seasonal humidity will push the heat index or "feels like" temps into the 100°+ mark and this will be the case through the weekend.
