Orlando Prepares for Severe Evening Storms

News Summary

Orlando is anticipating strong evening storms with heavy rain, flash flooding, and gusty winds. The weather is expected to worsen from the late afternoon into the night.

Residents are advised to stay aware of a developing tropical system that may impact the area later.

Orlando

Orlando is bracing for strong evening storms on August 10, 2025, with forecasts predicting heavy rain, flash flooding, and gusty winds. The severe weather is expected to develop from 5 PM and continue until about 10 PM, before gradually reducing in intensity as the night progresses. The amount of moisture in the atmosphere significantly raises the risk of torrential rain and flash flooding during this time.

As the storms roll in, they may reach intense levels, similar to previous nights that have already experienced significant weather disruptions. Residents should be prepared for gusty winds and vivid lightning accompanying the storm. Those caught in the downpours can expect a noticeable drop in temperature, contributing to a muggy overnight, with lows forecasted to settle into the mid-70s.

Expectations for Monday

Looking ahead to Monday morning, August 11, conditions are expected to start dry; however, high humidity levels will remain, with temperatures in the upper 70s and partly cloudy skies. Highs throughout the day may rise into the lower 90s as an area of high pressure moves in. This shift is anticipated to reduce the chance of widespread storms and enhance sunshine in the afternoons, although scattered sea breeze storms could still emerge, particularly around 2 PM.

Students participating in after-school activities should prepare for the possibility of scattered downpours, suggesting they pack rain jackets to stay dry. Despite storms fizzling out by early overnight hours on August 11, mainly clear skies are expected to follow, with overnight lows in the mid and upper 70s.

Forecast for the Week

The arrival of the high-pressure system is projected to lower rain chances for the rest of the week, leading temperatures to climb into the mid-90s. Still, sporadic showers may occur, prompting residents to carry raincoats or umbrellas for unexpected weather changes.

Potential Tropical Development

In addition to the immediate weather concerns, the National Hurricane Center is currently monitoring Invest 97L, which carries a 60% chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 48 hours. Over the next week, the chances for development increase to 90%, with expectations it might evolve into Tropical Depression Five or Tropical Storm Erin by the middle of the week.

While the ultimate path of Invest 97L and its potential impact on land remain uncertain, residents are advised to stay informed and prepared for any developments that may arise. In the event the storm takes a more definitive path, precautions and updates will be essential for safety and readiness.

Overall, as Central Florida heads into a new school week, it is crucial for both students and parents to remain vigilant of the weather conditions to mitigate any disruptions caused by storms.
