FOX 35’s T.J. Springer said the beach is a great place to go to beat the heat. Temperatures will be nearing 90 degrees.
With wave heights at two inches, the water temperature in the low 80s and a low rip current risk, the greatest possible threat is the UV index. “Wear lots of sunscreen,” Springer said.
There’s also a 50% chance of rain.
Where will the most rain occur?
The National Weather Service reported the greatest storm coverage occurring near the I-4 corridor – affecting parts of Leesburg, Sanford, Orlando and Kissimmee.
The storm is brought by a cool breeze developing, which will push inland this afternoon, meeting with the west coast sea breeze.
People in the affected areas can expect lightning strikes, wind gusts up to 55 mph and heavy downpours.
Lingering smoke in Volusia County
The National Weather Service reported lingering smoke from wildfires in Volusia County. The smoke is creating hazy conditions and reducing visibility along Interstate 95 at SR-44 & Osteen Maytown Road.
Drivers are urged to use caution and slow down.
