ORLANDO, Fla. – After several days of rain and storms, the wet weather isn’t done with Central Florida just yet.

While the flood threat remains in place for some areas, there is some nicer weather awaiting us for the weekend.

We’re still in a pattern of unsettled weather, thanks to a lingering front and a very moist atmosphere. Scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms are likely through Thursday, with rain chances around 60-80% before tapering off slightly through Friday.

Highs through Thursday will stay near or just below normal, mostly in the mid- to upper 80s, with a few spots touching 90.

Flooding Threat

The biggest concern continues to be locally heavy rainfall, especially in areas that have already seen several days of downpours. Some neighborhoods could pick up 1-2 inches of additional rain in a short time, which may lead to minor flooding.

A Marginal Risk (Level 1/5) for excessive rainfall remains in place.

Weekend

As we move into the weekend, things are looking nice!

Drier air will push into Central Florida, gradually lowering rain chances.

From Saturday through early next week, expect more typical late-summer weather with highs in the mid- to upper 80s and lows in the near 70 (even some upper 60s inland), and only isolated to scattered showers and storms, mainly in the afternoon.
