ORLANDO, Fla. – Another round of scattered showers and storms is expected across Central Florida on Wednesday, with the greatest storm coverage developing between Interstate 4 and the coast.
WEDNESDAY
A stalled front lingering across the region, combined with deep tropical moisture, will keep rain chances elevated through the day. Storms are expected to develop during the afternoon before gradually pushing east southeast toward the coast and offshore later tonight.
While Wednesday’s severe weather threat is lower than Tuesday’s, a few storms could still become strong. The main concerns include frequent lightning, wind gusts between 40 and 50 mph, small hail, and pockets of heavy rainfall.
Wednesday’s temperatures are expected to stay closer to normal for May, with highs reaching the mid to upper 80s.
LATE WEEK
Looking ahead, drier weather gradually returns late this week as high pressure builds back across Florida. Rain chances drop Thursday and Friday, as highs climb into the upper 80s.
WEEKEND
By the weekend and early next week, temperatures begin climbing even further with highs returning to the low 90s. Higher humidity levels could push the feels-like temperatures into the upper 90s.
