Orlando, Central Florida – Central Florida is bracing for a week of thunderstorms accompanied by potential flooding and gusty winds. Rain chances are being tracked during the evening hours, particularly in the western Orlando metro area, where a few strong thunderstorms are anticipated. Main impacts from these storms may include isolated flooding, wind gusts of up to 40 mph, and even small hail in the most intense storms.
The forecast indicates that heavy rain will likely remain concentrated west of Orlando over the next few days. This pattern is influenced by a southeast wind, which is being affected by high pressure situated over the Atlantic. On Tuesday night, conditions are expected to foster increased sea breeze-driven thunderstorm activity across Central Florida, leading into a stormy Wednesday.
Rain chances are projected to reach 60% on Wednesday, with scattered storms likely producing heavy downpours. Many areas could receive up to 2 inches of rain, with localized higher amounts possible. As midday approaches on Wednesday, isolated showers are expected to develop near the I-4 corridor, which will become more scattered throughout the afternoon. By late afternoon into evening, most storm activity is predicted to shift west along the I-75 corridor.
The weather in Central Florida remains uncomfortably sticky, with daytime temperatures hovering in the lower 90s. The seven-day forecast continues to reflect similar weather patterns, maintaining high temperatures throughout the week and overnight lows in the upper 70s. Most days, rain chances of 60% are anticipated, particularly following the sea breeze pattern typical for the season. There may be a slight decrease in rain chances on Saturday, but they are expected to increase again on Sunday and into the subsequent week.
Weather conditions categorized as Impact Weather might disrupt travel and daily activities, while Severe Weather Warning Days indicate conditions that could pose risks to life or property. The residents of Central Florida can expect afternoon showers and thunderstorms, especially from Tuesday through the following week, consistent with typical summer weather patterns.
Additionally, Saharan dust is projected to arrive midweek, which may have mixed effects. While it could decrease overall air quality and impact individuals with allergies, it also may create stunning sunrises and sunsets for onlookers to enjoy.
As of Sunday, the weather remains calm, with little to no tropical activity forecasted for the upcoming week. The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which began on June 1, is showing predictions of above-average activity influenced by high ocean heat content; however, there is currently no development expected for the next seven days, keeping the region safe from hurricanes for the immediate future.
Residents are advised to stay updated on weather changes and be prepared for sudden thunderstorms while enjoying the benefits and beauty of the summer season in Central Florida.
