ORLANDO, Fla. – After an active overnight in Central Florida, the tail end of an associated storm system will linger for a little longer into Wednesday afternoon, possibly initiating another round of storms as the sea breeze develops.

Showers and storms will build after 1 p.m., with a few having enough energy to become strong to severe. Some of our stronger cells will be capable for locally damaging winds and hail up to 1 inch. Southern Brevard County will hold on to a low threat for rotating storms.

The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted areas along the I-4 corridor and to the southeast under a marginal risk for severe storms.

Expect coverage to remain elevated, 60-70%, for areas south of the Orlando-Titusville line, with lower chances further north.

Besides the rain, a strong southwesterly breeze will keep temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Due to the breeze, there’s a high risk of rip currents at the beaches, with the surf becoming rough.

For the rest of the week and into the early weekend, temperatures are expected to climb even further.

Highs by Saturday could flirt with records as temperatures reach the upper 80s inland, while we stay mostly dry.

Our next front is expected to arrive by late Saturday and into Sunday, bringing a 20-40% chance of rain and storms through the afternoon.

Behind the front, we will finally see a break of the 80-degree streak, with highs cooling back to the mid- to upper 70s and lows in the 50s.
