Central Florida Prepares for Upcoming Second Wave of Rainfall

ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Florida is bracing for a cold front that is set to elevate rain probabilities to between 40% and 50% from Saturday morning through the early afternoon hours.

While the rain showers will be scattered, some areas might experience more intense storms, particularly in Osceola and Brevard counties. These regions could see isolated strong to severe storms, as they fall under a marginal risk alert.

The more potent storms could unleash heavy downpours, wind gusts reaching speeds of up to 50 mph, frequent lightning, and hail approximately the size of coins. There is also a minimal chance of a brief tornado occurring.

Despite the unsettled weather, afternoon temperatures will hover around the seasonal average, rising to the mid-70s inland. Coastal areas will experience slightly cooler conditions, with temperatures ranging from the upper 60s to the lower 70s.

Looking ahead to Sunday, the likelihood of rain diminishes to about 20%, with the forecast predicting mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the 70s. As we move into the following week, Floridians can anticipate a return to the 80s, along with reduced rain chances, restoring the region’s typical warm and sunny climate.
