ORLANDO, Fla. — Heavy rain and thunderstorms gave Central Florida some much needed rain Monday as the beginning effects of a trough of low pressure in the Atlantic caused increased moisture over the region.

Overnight also has the chance for scattered rain and thunderstorms, with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid to low 70s. 

Tuesday will have similar conditions, with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid to upper 80s.

Scattered rain and thunderstorms will continue. Overnight temperatures on Tuesday will be in the low to mid 70s.

Due to a cold front pushing in from the north and a trough of low pressure in the east, temperatures will remain in the low to mid 80s and rain chances will remain high through Thursday.

Sky conditions will also begin to clear up after Thursday, leaving Central Florida fairly warm and dry going into the weekend. 

Tropical Update

In the tropics, an area of showers and thunderstorms is forecast to develop between Bermuda and the U.S. East Coast, and could establish subtropical characteristics later this week.

This will cause increased rain chances and poor beach conditions for Florida in the upcoming week.​ A trough of low pressure in South Florida is producing disorganized showers and is anticipated to bring heavy rainfall over the next few days. It is expected to move east and could develop tropical characteristics as it moves into the Atlantic, away from Florida.

There is another low pressure system over the North Atlantic that could produce a tropical or subtropical storm between Bermuda and the Azores later this week, before conditions become unfavorable for further development. It poses no threat to Florida.

Beach and Surf Conditions

Surfing conditions will be poor to fair Tuesday with wave heights at 4 to 5 feet and an east-northeasterly swell mix.

There will be a high rip current threat and a high chance of thunderstorms, so it is not recommended that anyone go in the water. 

Ocean conditions will also be a bit rough and a Small Craft Advisory has been issued.
