It was an active afternoon and evening with widespread rain and thunderstorms flaring up across Central Florida. Much of the activity has diminished for the overnight aside from a few lingering showers. A rumble of thunder is still possible overnight as any leftover storms weaken. Skies will become partly cloudy by daybreak as lows fall to the mid-70s under partly cloudy skies.
Sunday's weather will look quite similar to what we had on Saturday. Early morning sunshine and muggy conditions will give rise to another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms by early afternoon. Ample moisture and daytime heating will instigate some locally strong storms containing very heavy rain, gusty winds and frequent lightning. Most storms will originate inland and drift to the northeast. Before storms develop, it will be a hot and humid day with highs in the low-to-mid 90s inland to around 90 at the coast.
The overall weather regime will not stray much from this through the rest of the holiday weekend and throughout the week ahead. Daytime highs will consistently run a few degrees above the average, in the low-to-mid 90s. The average for this time of year is 91 degrees. Daily storm chances will run around 40 percent to 50 percent.
As for the tropics, Arthur is no longer a tropical system. The remnant area of low pressure is now taking aim on eastern Canada. It will have an impact on Nova Scotia and the Canadian Maritimes in the next 24 hours with heavy rain and gusty winds. The rest of the Atlantic Basin, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, remain quiet with no formation expected in the next five days.
Remember to catch your Tropical Updates at :21 and :51 past the hour.
