ORLANDO, Fla. — The heat will continue to build and the humidity will return for the end of the week.

This will lead to higher chances by week’s end. An area of high pressure has been keeping our skies dry, but it is shifting off to our east. The winds will start to come out of the southeast. This will help increase the humidity and make it feel muggy stepping outside over the next few days.

There’s a chance for afternoon and evening storms starting on Wednesday. The highest chances for storms will be on Thursday and Friday.

Afternoon highs will continue to reach the middle to upper 80s for the middle of the week, with overnight lows only dropping into the upper 60s and lower 70s over the next few days.

Highs will return to the low to mid-80s for Thursday and Friday thanks to the increasing cloud cover and higher rain chances.

The chance for showers will continue into the weekend, but it will not be a washout. There will be about a 20 to 30 percent coverage of afternoon and evening storms on Saturday and Sunday. It will be muggy and hot.

It will definitely for more like summer here in Central Florida. Highs will reach the lower 90s for both weekend days.

The daily chance for afternoon and evening storms will continue into early next week. Afternoon highs will top out in the lower 90s with morning temperatures starting out in the lower 70s.

Beach and surf forecast

If you’re boating, there will be a chance of showers. The winds will be breezy and out of the east at 10 to 15 knots. Seas will be 3 to 4 feet with a moderate chop on the intracoastal.

Surfing conditions will be poor with wave heights of 2 to 3 plus feet. There will be an east-southeasterly windswell with a low rip current risk. It is still always best to swim within sight of a lifeguard.

Ocean water temperatures are in the middle to upper 70s. The UV index is at a ten, which means sunburn could happen in as little as 15 minutes. So be sure to apply and reapply the sunscreen.
