ORLANDO, Fla. – A 50% chance of scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms are on the way for today.
The timing will be very typical for a late-summer setup, with a few downpours bubbling up at around midday, and highest chances taking place between 2 and 9 p.m. However, a few showers and storms may try to get going a little ahead of schedule by 8 to 10 a.m. so keep the rain gear within reach.
Most of the activity will lose steam and will gradually fade and depart after sunset.
Cold front arrives Thursday
Today will still have a Florida feel as we stay warm and muggy this afternoon as highs once again climb to near 90-degrees.
A rare cold front arrives tomorrow, bringing big changes our way just in time for the weekend. A 40% chance of hit-and-miss scattered showers and a few storms will be possible tomorrow.
A couple of morning showers will be possible, but the highest chances appear to take place close to midday and the early afternoon.
Winds will turn quite gusty too, especially near and along the coast. Plan for gusts up to 30-35 mph inland and closer to 35 mph+ at the beaches.…
