On-and-Off Storms Could Dampen Labor Day Forecast

ORLANDO, Fla. – Monday

Labor Day is expected to be the soggiest stretch of the holiday weekend across Central Florida. An upper-level trough is helping push a cold front into North Florida, drawing in deeper moisture and adding enough instability to fuel widespread showers and storms through the day. Early Monday, scattered rain will be most likely across northern communities, particularly Flagler, Marion and northern Volusia counties. By midday, rain chances will expand farther south, with showers and thunderstorms lingering across the Orlando area and much of Central Florida into the afternoon.

Week Ahead

The unsettled weather pattern will hold on through the middle of the week as the front stalls near Central Florida. That boundary will also help generate a mid-level area of low pressure, keeping rain chances above average through Wednesday. Conditions should gradually improve late in the week as the front fades and high pressure begins building near the state. That shift will help bring rain chances back closer to typical Florida levels by the end of the week and into the weekend.
