Here's what you need to know for Central Florida's weather for the week ahead:

  • More heavy rain
  • Rain ahead for the weekend
  • No tropical development expected over the next five days

A stationary front extends from the Atlantic just off the coast of the Carolinas, back into the Big Bend area of Florida this evening, with little wrinkles in the atmosphere riding along it. One such wrinkle, an upper level low, is drifting across the state and providing many of us with showers and some embedded lightning strikes. We’re not expecting any severe weather the next few days. Our airmass will remain quite moist through the end of the week, so locally heavy downpours remain a threat for those who pick up rain. The pattern remains unchanged through Friday, with morning rain plaguing the already super-saturated western counties on the peninsula, then sliding east fairly quickly into the afternoon. Highs will remain close to seasonable, in the lower 90s, with lows in the middle 70s.

As we look into the weekend, there is still no big pattern change unfolding. Our flow may turn a little more southerly, which would allow the east coast sea breeze to develop and slide inland, but this doesn’t look like it’ll occur until Saturday. We’ll keep our forecast unchanged for now, unless the forecast shows more of this type of change. Highs remain either side of 90 from Friday into next Wednesday, and lows stay in the middle 70s.

Although two disturbances are being monitored in the Eastern Pacific, the Atlantic basin remains quiet. No tropical development is expected over the next 5 days.
