ORLANDO, Fla. – We’ve seen some pretty sporty thunderstorms in different corners of Central Florida today, all thanks to a cold front attempting to sweep west to east through our viewing area.

Tonight we’re watching storms finally relax, and leftover showers mingle over north and eastern Florida. Lightning could stick around until the early morning hours of your Sunday, but nothing intense is forecasted to start the day tomorrow.

Once we start rolling into the warmest parts of the afternoon, rains will ramp back up quickly as we tap into two moisture sources.

The leading edge of the same cold front trying to come down, will start to lose a bit of its forward steam. As a result, we’ll see some moisture continue to flow in from the west, and begin to interact with easterly winds coming through the Atlantic coast of the peninsula all thanks to tropical depression 9’s influence.

The worst conditions won’t fully be realized until Monday, just in time for the start of the new work week.

However, tomorrow will definitely be pretty rainy and stormy, starting with our eastern counties and rolling westward into the early evening hours.

Some pockets of heavier rainfall could result in periods of flash flooding. Even tonight we have some very isolated but heavy rain producers still moving slowly across Marion county, where National Weather Service has a flood warning in effect.

This could occur in multiple different instances tomorrow as tropical rains begin to push in from our east coast meeting up with the stationary boundary.

Because of all this increased moisture, we’ll see lots of clouds tomorrow. This will keep temperatures in the mid-to-upper 80s just as we saw today. However, the increasing humidity will definitely make it feel hotter than what it is.

Then as we start to see the approach of Tropical Depression 9 – soon to be a tropical storm Imelda – our winds will ramp up late Sunday and through the day on Monday. We have tropical storm watches issued up and down the eastern seaboard of Florida, and we’re carefully watching if/when National Weather Service decides to upgrade to tropical storm warnings, which could occur as early as tomorrow.
