Orlando PM Weather: Storms Tonight, More Storms This Week
Tracking storms that could be on the stronger side west of Orlando. Next week. Sea-breeze driven daily downpours and storms will be possible just about every afternoon next week. It seems to kick off the rainy season in Florida. The heat and humidity will also stick around with highs near 90 all next week with lows in the low 70s.
ORLANDO, Fla. - By midnight, any lingering showers or storms will quickly fade. Not everyone will see the rain and storms today, either. The highest chances will be, once again, near and along the I-75 corridor and points east to roughly Florida's Turnpike corridor.
That means most areas along the Atlantic coastline will stay on the drier side most of the day. In terms of strong and severe storms, a low level 1 out of 5 risk exists for areas west of the I-95 corridor. Strong winds of 50–60 mph will be the primary impact, with pockets of small hail possible.
The risk of any rotating storms leading to weak tornadoes will be very low.
What will the weather look like tonight?
What to Expect:
Any lingering showers and storms will fade around midnight. It will be very muggy and mild overnight, especially for those who see the rain. Plan for Monday morning lows to fall into the low to middle 70s.
Looking ahead
What to Expect:
The new work week features hot and seasonal temperatures with highs near 90 degrees just about each and every day this week.
With daily afternoon downpours and storms on the way as well, this seems to be the gradual switch and changeover to more of a rainy-season pattern across Central Florida.
