Orlando weather: chance of sea breeze showers, storms highlight Sunday's forecast

Yahoo6 hours ago

The Brief
The heat and humidity will be the main story as we kick off the workweek. Highs soar back into the mid-90s for most of Central Florida with the feel like temps even worse.
Chances of showers and storms then start to rise as we progress into Tuesday as a disturbance in the upper-levels of the atmosphere moves our way. We'll have lots of moisture in the air, so heavy rain is on the table.
ORLANDO, Fla. - SUNDAY: It's essentially a wash-rise-repeat pattern for our Sunday. High pressure is still under control but slowly starts to drift to the east. The SW breeze will once again dominate, keeping the chance of sea breeze showers and storms near the coastline. Coverage looks isolated at best.
Afternoon readings jump back into the low to mid-90s with heat indices past the century mark. Any clouds should fade away through the overnight with the shower activity fizzling out.
MONDAY: The heat and humidity will be the main story as we kick off the workweek. Highs soar back into the mid-90s for most of Central Florida with the feel like temps even worse.
Dew points in the middle 70s will make it feel more like the lower triple digits, so be sure you stay hydrated. Isolated showers and storms develop at the start of the day as the sea breezes try to come together.
LOOKING AHEAD: Chances of showers and storms then start to rise as we progress into Tuesday as a disturbance in the upper-levels of the atmosphere moves our way. We'll have lots of moisture in the air, so heavy rain is on the table.
This wave will make for more widespread showers and storms and that trend continues into mid-week. A SE breeze develops from our Wednesday onwards into late this week, making for daily rounds of PM thunderstorms. Thankfully, the tropics continue to stay quiet with the more hostile set-up across the Atlantic Basin as well as more dust.

Severe storms threaten Thunder-Pacers NBA Finals Game 2 tonight: Could it be delayed?

When the Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, there will be plenty of thunder and severe weather happening outside Paycom Center in the Oklahoma City metro. Current projections from the National Weather Service forecast severe storms to start after 4 p.m. at the earliest and continue until 11 p.m. at the latest over Oklahoma City. These storms are predicted to create wind gusts up to 80 mph and up to baseball-sized hail near OKC. More risky severe weather is expected in southwestern Oklahoma, but conditions can always worsen quickly. Here is what to know about severe weather chances in Oklahoma City going into Game 2 on Sunday. According to forecasts from the NWS Norman station, the Oklahoma City metro could see rain starting between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Severe weather should end by 11 p.m. in the metro, but severe weather watches, if issued, could be extended. The southeast winds could have gusts higher than 80 mph throughout the metro, even though there is low potential for a tornado. The metro area is only at an "enhanced risk" of seeing severe weather on Sunday night. Yet, these forecasts include hail up to a softball size. As of 4 p.m., the NWS has issued warnings only in southwestern Oklahoma. According to FEMA guidelines, the best places to be during a storm are a storm shelter or a basement. If you are unable to reach a shelter or a basement, FEMA recommends going to the innermost room, hallway, or closet on the lowest level of the building. According to Lucy Albers, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Paycom, the facility is prepared to accommodate for any severe weather conditions. For starters, she noted that the facility typically doesn't allow umbrellas, but due to the weather, they will make an exception and allow guests to bring them in. Because of the gambit of weather events Oklahoma can be presented, Albers also said they have to be prepared for everything. "We're a large sporting event facility in Oklahoma, so this is not the first time we've had events in some severe weather," Albers said. Leading up to events, Albers noted that leadership has discussions with the staff regarding safety protocols. During the event, the security manager is in direct contact with individuals at the NWS and staying up to date on all possibilities. Should the storm continue after the final whistle blows and remain severe enough, Albers said the Paycom Center is likely to hold guests in longer to ensure they stay as safe as possible, following a shelter-in-place protocol. Both officials with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Albers stated that should the weather become severe enough, the NBA holds the ability to make a call regarding gameplay; however, it would be communicated effectively to all parties involved.

June's strawberry moon will be unlike any you've seen in years: When to see it in California

June 2025's full moon is coming to a sky near you in the early morning hours of June 11. And while all June full moons ride low in the sky, spring's final full moon this year will be the lowest full moon in almost 20 years. The strawberry moon will rise over California on the evening of Tuesday, June 10, and will shine into Wednesday morning, a "sight that can be seen around the world," said Brian Lada, an AccuWeather meteorologist. June's full moon is called the strawberry moon because it signaled to some Native American tribes that it was the time of year to gather ripening wild strawberries, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Notably, this year's strawberry moon could actually have a reddish glow, due to how low it will sit in the sky and the haze from wildfires. June's full moon will reach peak illumination on June 11, 2025, at 12:44 a.m. PT, the Almanac said. But it will look plenty full as it rises the evening before, June 10. The strawberry moon is the most colorful of the year because it takes a low, shallow path across the sky, said Bob Bonadurer, director of the Milwaukee Public Museum's planetarium. The June full moon's arc across the sky means moonlight must travel through more of the Earth's atmosphere, which can give it a colorful tint. "So there's a chance it will actually look a little bit reddish or pink, and, and so that may also be part of the origin of the name," Chris Palma, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State University, told AccuWeather. Smoke in the atmosphere from Canadian wildfires could also act to create a colorful moon. According to EarthSky, the moon will the lowest in the sky that it's been since 2006. "That's because we're in the midst of a major lunar standstill," which has to do with the moon's orbit around the Earth. "It's all about the inclination of the moon's orbit, which undergoes an 18.6-year cycle," noted EarthSky's John Jardine Goss. "The cycle happens because the moon's orbit is being slowly dragged around – mostly due to the pull of the sun – every 18.6 years." This year's major lunar standstill culminated in January 2025. And we're still close enough to it that the standstill is affecting the path of this June full moon, EarthSky said.
