ORLANDO, Fla. — A tropical wave we’ve been watching all week moved toward Central Florida today, bringing an abundance of tropical moisture.

This moisture helped to spark scattered showers and storms all afternoon. Heavy rain at times caused some minor flooding issues. Rain will stick around into early tonight, then an isolated shower heading into Saturday morning. We’ll keep a decent chance for showers and storms again this weekend with temperatures staying below average.

Mostly cloudy skies are in the forecast through the overnight hours. The widespread rain will come to an end early, but a few showers will remain possible. Temperatures will fall into the mid to low 70s.

A mix of sun and clouds will start our Saturday, but then mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers and storms once again for the afternoon. Temperatures will be able to climb into the upper 80s to around 90 degrees early, but will back off as rain moves through.

Sunday will hold slightly lower rain chances and the tropical wave moves away from Central Florida. There will still be a chance for afternoon storms to end the weekend. Rain chances will lower even more next week.

Tropical Update

In the tropics, we’re watching a broad area of low pressure in the Central Atlantic. This low may slowly develop over the weekend as it moves toward the Lesser Antilles. Once near the island, any development will struggle with strong wind tearing it apart.

There is a medium chance for development.

Hurricane season runs through November 30.
