ORLANDO, Fla. — It was another unsettled day across the area, as the deep tropical moisture remains in place.

The showers and storms slowly diminished this evening, with temps falling into the 70s. Some rainfall will be possible in areas west of Orlando overnight, with morning lows in the low 70s.

An active weekend is in store, but with lower rain chances. The deep tropical moisture begins to lift northward, reducing the coverage of showers and storms for Saturday. Scattered activity is still likely through, primarily in the PM hours. Highs to start the weekend will be in the mid to upper 80s.

More showers and storms are likely for Sunday, but again coverage will be lower. Expect more sunshine as well as a southeasterly flow begins to develop. Highs for Sunday will be in the low 90s.

The rain chances continue heading into next week. Tropical moisture will remain in place across the area. While widespread rain is not anticipated, elevated rain chances will continue for Monday and Tuesday. Highs will hold in the low 90s.

Rain and storms will also be possible for the middle of the week, courtesy of that tropical moisture. The best chance once again will be in the afternoon and evening hours, with temps Wednesday and Thursday in the low 90s.

There is some uncertainty about the end of next week. There are some indications that deep tropical moisture may move back into the area. Right now, expect scattered activity for Friday, with temps in the low 90s.
