ORLANDO, Fla. — Another day of strong storms developed around lunchtime Wednesday and moved quickly east, some with gusts over 60 mph.

Severe thunderstorms came across the area, knocking out power to hundreds around Central Florida, including over 2,000 customers in Kissimmee. 

We also had reports of part of a tree down on Park Avenue in Winter Park, along with damage to the sign for the Winter Park Krispy Kreme.

The activity wrapped up early, and it will remain quiet overnight.

More storms are on the way for Thursday with temperatures back to around 90 degrees. Winds shift to the east by Friday, changing our pattern up slightly heading into the weekend.

Partly cloudy skies are in the forecast through the overnight hours with mainly dry conditions. Temperatures will be warm, falling only into the mid to low 70s. 

Partly sunny skies for our Thursday morning will be quickly overtaken by clouds and scattered storms during the afternoon. Some of the storms could become strong with frequent lightning, gusty wind, and heavy rain. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s to low 90s.

Winds shift from the southwest to the northeast Friday, allowing for rain chances to back off slightly. Easterly wind this weekend, however, will help to spark afternoon storms as the sea breeze moves west.

Still a chance for storms each day, but not sticking around as long and not as widespread. 

Beach and Surf Forecast

We have a week of poor to fair surfing conditions thanks to a small east-southeast trade swell and wave heights of around ankle to knee high.

Good news if you’re planning a swim though because our rip current threat stays low each day. Sea surface temps have cooled into the low 70s along the Flagler and Volusia County coasts, and upper 70s along the Brevard County coast.

Watch for those storms if heading the beach or out on the boat with lightning and gusty wind possible again. 

Tropical Update

No new tropical development is expected in the next five days.

Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30.
