Rainy re-run potential in Central Florida before chances increase even more

ORLANDO, Fla. – Yesterday, we saw showers and some pop-off thunderstorms form early in the day before another round developed upon the start of our sea breezes pushing in from coast to coast.

Sunday will likely be much of the same before your chance to see some additional rain goes up over the next couple days.

As our high pressure ridge makes its way from nearly directly on top of us out into the western Atlantic, our winds are going to start shifting over the Florida peninsula.

Thanks to the hung up front over northern Florida, your highest chances for afternoon rains will stay towards our northern counties until our sea breezes collide later in the day. (Copyright WKMG 2025)

This could drive some early showers and an occasional thunderstorm or two pushing toward the east coast before our east breeze kicks in just about during the warmest part of the afternoon. Then around 4-6 p.m., ignition of our greatest storm coverage begins.

Just like yesterday, it seems our west coast breeze will be the aggressor and push through much of us before interacting with winds coming in from the east coast.

From Flagler County to Volusia and into portions of Seminole, eastern Orange, Osceola, and Brevard counties is where a bulk of our sea-breeze collision is expected to take place. This means you’ll probably see some good thunderstorms and more heavy periods of rain during the latter portion of your Sunday.

Temperatures have varied little day to day, with overnight lows and afternoon highs staying persistent. This time yesterday we observed nearly the exact same temperature. (Copyright WKMG 2025)

The heat will also be sticking around. In fact, even this morning we’ve seen little change in what our temperature has done since this time yesterday. Your afternoon highs will top out in the mid 90s across our area and the heat index will climb right back into triple digits.

The heat index is the variable on the table trying to come down some. Note we’ve seen a departure from the 110s and 115s from last week, and this will continue as more rain tries to move in for the first full week of August (Copyright WKMG 2025)

Tomorrow and through to about Wednesday however, Central Florida receives a little nudge in the moisture department via the southerly flow provided by our Atlantic high pressure.

The clockwise spin is likely to draw some tropical moisture up from the Caribbean, further bringing up chances for rain as early as tomorrow.

We’re also watching newly designated Invest 95L right off the coast of North Carolina. Satellite this morning looks promising, as the feature further organizes.

Invest 95L is present off the east coast of North Carolina, helping to further stir our atmosphere and increase our relative moisture over Central Florida. It is forecast to move away from us though (Copyright WKMG 2025)

Thankfully, rest assured this is staying far away from us in Florida.
