Orlando weather: Tropical moisture brings heavy rain, storms on Wednesday. Here's when
The Brief Wednesday is a FOX 35 Weather Impact Day due to tropical moisture bringing widespread rain and storms. Some storms could produce wind gusts over 45 mph, though severe storms are not expected. On Thursday, showers remain likely in the afternoon, but incoming Saharan dust will reduce rain chances and air quality. ORLANDO, Fla. - Wednesday is a FOX 35 Weather Impact Day due to tropical moisture moving across Central Florida, resulting in numerous showers, downpours and storms this afternoon. There is a 70-80% chance for rain, with rain totals possibly exceeding 1 to 3 inches in many areas due to really heavy downpours. While severe storms are not likely, some storms may bring wind gusts over 45 mph. What to expect Generally overcast and muggy. Scattered showers and thunder begin around lunchtime and continue through the evening, on and off. A quick 1"–2" is possible inside of an hour, leading to minor street flooding in urban areas. The high will be 83°, which is 7° cooler than normal due to clouds and rain. Timeline The heaviest rain is expected to begin around the following times: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. – Southern areas, including Lakeland and the Tampa area 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. – Central Florida, including Orlando, Kissimmee, Cocoa Beach, Melbourne, Titusville, and Ocala 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. – Northern areas, including Daytona Beach, Palm Coast, and Gainesville Numerous chances of rain will come to an end around 9 p.m. with just a few sprinkles overnight. While showers remain likely during the afternoon, a dense plume of Saharan dust will come over Florida and help lower rain chances and lower our air quality. If any storms do form, they could be strong with big wind gusts, as Saharan air can get pulled into storms and enhance downburst potential. Dry air can make thunderstorms produce big wind gusts because when rain falls into that dry air below the storm, it evaporates — and evaporation cools the air rapidly. That cooler air becomes heavier and sinks fast, creating a strong downdraft. When that rushing air hits the ground, it spreads out as powerful, gusty winds — sometimes called downbursts or microbursts. Looking ahead Sea breeze-driven rain ahead and more dust, leading to hazy skies and a few scattered storms. Getting hot again.

Orlando weather: Sizzling start to Monday before strong storms arrive
The Brief Another hot day is expected across Central Florida, with temperatures reaching the mid to upper 80s along the coast and closer to the low 90s inland. Shower and storm chances are increasing this afternoon, with the best chances for rain taking shape along and southeast of the I-4 corridor. Later this week, a warm front will lift north, helping to increase shower and storm chances. ORLANDO, Fla. - Seasonable temperatures are on the way for our Monday with increasing shower and storm chances, especially for this afternoon. Highs will climb into the mid to upper 80s along the coast and closer to the low 90s for inland areas. What to expect We'll stay mostly dry throughout this morning, with only the small chance of an isolated shower or storm across southern Osceola and Brevard Counties into late morning. The best chances of rain will take shape this afternoon for areas along and southeast of the I-4 corridor. Timeline Showers and storms will begin to pop up around 2-3pm, and will last through around 9-10pm tonight. A few strong storms will be possible today as well, as the SPC has placed areas southeast of I-4 under a low level 1 out of 5 risk of severe weather. With any strong storms, the main impacts will include gusty winds, hail, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning. Showers and storms will gradually taper off tonight. We'll stay warm and muggy throughout the night, especially for areas who see the rain today. Plan for lows in the upper 60s and low 70s. Looking ahead Unsettled weather takes shape as we head into middle and late parts of this week. This is due to a warm front that continues to gradually lift north, helping to bring an increase to shower and storm chances through at least mid week. By late this week, rain chances will be more typical of this time of year with the rainy season setting back up. Smoke from distant Canadian wildfires will bring reduced air quality to Central Florida starting today. Additionally, Saharan Dust sweeping off the coast of Africa will be working into Central Florida this week. Both of these factors will reduce air quality for much of the Sunshine State and could impact those with breathing or upper respiratory issues. The smoke and dust will also impact the look of our skies, giving a more milky look during the daylight hours and make for unique and more vivid sunrises and sunsets as well.

Orlando weather: Quieter Sunday across Florida, but isolated storms still in play
What to expect ORLANDO, Fla. - Our Sunday is certainly quieter than how our weekend started with that cold frontal boundary now situated to our south. That front has stalled and it looks to wobble back to the north today. Isolated showers and storms are possible as a result, especially south of Orlando. A couple of stronger storms are possible across South-Central and South Florida, so keep your eyes on the sky if you're traveling. Highs look to jump back up close to 90°. Overnight, we'll see a mix of clouds and stars with lows near 70. A stray shower or storm is possible as well. The progressive and more active pattern continues as we kick off the workweek too, with our next disturbance coming down the pike. This wave looks to be a little stronger and brings more coverage of showers and storms on Monday. Widespread severe storms are not expected but a rogue strong to severe storm or two is possible, and it's something we'll continue to watch. Afternoon readings stay close to normal, rounding out near 90°. Looking ahead As this upper-level low exits, we shift into a more classic "Summer" set-up with onshore flow and seabreeze driven storms. This pattern unfolds Tuesday through late week with daily chances for afternoon showers and storms. The coverage is looking to be the greatest on Wednesday and Thursday as we still have a bit of upper-level support in the atmosphere. We'll likely see more clouds too and that'll hold temperatures down in the middle to upper 80s. Highs then look to rebound and stay close to seasonable norms into next weekend, topping out around 90°. Track live when storms move across your area using the FOX 35 Storm Tracker Radar below.
