Monday will begin dry and slightly muggy, with a similar weather pattern expected. As the sea breezes collide in the afternoon, rain chances will rise to between 40–60% across Central Florida, with lower chances closer to the coast.

Monday's rain chances

Rain has been scarce lately — the last measurable rainfall in Orlando was just 0.01″ on April 11, and 0.27″ on April 1. As a result, this is shaping up to be the 12th-driest April on record for the city.
