ORLANDO, FLa. – Scattered rain and thunderstorms are expected to move through central Florida this evening, drifting eastward. Some storms could bring lightning, gusty winds, and even small hail. Conditions should quiet down overnight, with temperatures dropping into the 60s.

By Sunday morning, patchy dense fog may develop. The day will start warm with scattered clouds, and highs will climb into the mid to upper 80s. Rain chances will increase through the day to around 30–40%.

This is happening because a big area of high pressure over the Atlantic Ocean is getting weaker but still sitting near Florida. Winds will start blowing in from the southwest, then shift to come in from the ocean during the afternoon. As the sea breeze forms on both coasts, those winds are expected to meet near the Orlando area later in the day, which can help trigger storms.

Looking ahead, a few showers and storms are possible on Monday. After that, the weather turns drier and hotter, with highs reaching the lower 90s for the rest of the week.
