Sea breeze drives Central Florida storms

Weather remains unsettled due to a stationary front, but the sea breezes will be the main factor for hit-or-miss storms

ORLANDO, Fla. – A cold front entered the area during the overnight and has stalled overhead. Unfortunately, it did not bring in cooler or drier air. It’s expected to keep things unsettled through the morning, firing up a few showers and thunderstorms along coastal areas. We expect a 60% rain coverage for Central Florida.

Through the later morning hours into the afternoon, the sea breezes are expected to increase and along that boundary, more showers and storms are expected.

A few thunderstorms could get strong, producing heavy rain, lightning and gusty winds. The rain and the scattered clouds are expected to keep the heat down a touch with expected daytime highs in the upper 80s.
