More strong storms with locally heavy rainfall is expected Tuesday afternoon across Central Florida. 06.29.2026
STEWART AND I WOULD HAVE INCLUDED OUR PICTURES. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE WEREN’T HERE YET. YOU WERE NEGATIVE. H NEGATIVE AT THAT POINT. NOT NOT FAR FROM NEGATIVE. THANK YOU. YEAH. HOW YOU FEEL? TONY? NOT A DAY OVER WHO WON THE NBA, NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BACK THEN. THE KNICKS. THAT WAS THE LAST TIME THEY WON. OH, MAN. YOU SET YOURSELF UP FOR THAT. YOUR ON A ROLL STEWART. AND IT’S ONLY MONDAY. WE GOT TO GET IN THE STORM MODE. A LITTLE THROWBACK INSTEAD OF THURSDAY ON A MONDAY. ALL RIGHT LIGHTNING BIG TOPIC TODAY. THAT’S WHAT’S BEEN GOING ON HERE. YOU KNOW WE DON’T ISSUE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS FOR LIGHTNING. BUT IN RARE INSTANCES WHEN THERE’S EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING, I WOULD MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT THAT SHOULD BE SEVERE WARNED. AND WITH THE AMOUNT OF LIGHTNING THAT’S GOING ON NOW, ALONG THE ORANGE LAKE COUNTY LINE, JUST BE CAREFUL THERE. STAY AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS. WE’RE STARTING A REDEVELOPMENT NOW OF STORMS UP TO THE NORTH. NOW, CAM AND I WERE JUST LOOKING AT THIS AND YOU KNOW, THE NUMBER OF LIGHTNING STRIKES. THIS IS JUST SIX HOURS WORTH OF DATA HERE IS APPROACHING 6500 LIGHTNING STRIKES. AND THERE’S STILL 1200 HERE IN THE LAST 20 MINUTES NOW ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE HIGH IMPACT WEATHER DAYS HERE, NOT JUST FROM A SEVERE WEATHER STANDPOINT. WE’RE ALSO GETTING POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN. THERE’S A BRAND NEW FLOOD ADVISORY DOWN TO THE SOUTH IN THE HEAT HERE. OCALA BACK TOWARDS BELLEVIEW, BUBBLING UP SOME OF THE SHOWERS AND STORMS. THERE’S CLAREMONT, THERE’S THE FOUR CORNERS AREA BACK TOWARDS DISNEY. PRETTY GOOD SHOWERS AND STORMS. THERE’S YOUR STRONG STORM JUST SITTING OVER WILDWOOD IN THE TURNPIKE. AND THIS IS THE TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU CAN GET A FLOOD ADVISORY ISSUED VERY, VERY QUICKLY THAT GUSTY WINDS THAT WERE OVER LAKE APOPKA HAVE SIMMERED ON DOWN. SO THAT IS CERTAINLY SOME GOOD NEWS. BUT LOOK AT CLAREMONT. LOOK AT FERNDALE. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SPIN THERE ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF LAKE APOPKA. THERE’S THE 429. OH, WHAT A WHAT A HORRIBLE EVENING COMMUTE THERE. WE’VE GOT A FLOOD ADVISORY NOW OVER LAKE COUNTY. WE’VE GOT THE STRONG STORM SITTING OVER THE 429 BACK TOWARDS THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE DISNEY COMPLEX THERE. SO THERE’S A LOT GOING ON HERE IN SOUTHWEST ORANGE COUNTY, LAKE APOPKA, BACK TOWARDS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AREAS OF LAKE COUNTY THAT WILL LIKELY PUSH INTO POLK COUNTY A LITTLE BIT LATER ON. AND NOW WITH A LITTLE BIT OF HEATING OVER TOWARDS JULIET SCHOR AND BITHLO STARTING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPTICK IN THE STORMS THERE, NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING SEVERE BECAUSE THEY HAD THE STORMS EARLIER. YEEHAW JUNCTION STORMS COMING TO AN END. THEIR UPDATED TOTALS. YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU’RE UNDER A FLOOD ADVISORY CLERMONT. YOU’VE HAD OVER THREE INCHES OF RAIN. GROVELAND MONARCH ACADEMY THERE BACK TOWARDS SOUTH TO MOUNT SPRINGS, LEESBURG, WELL OVER AN INCH OF RAIN. THERE’S THE STORMS NOW DRIFTING OFF TOWARDS THE SOUTH AND THE WEST. AS WE HEAD DEEPER INTO THE EVENING HERE, THINGS WILL SIMMER DOWN BETWEEN NOW AND ABOUT 9:00 OUT THE DOOR TOMORROW MORNING. BOY, YOUR AC IS HUMMING. IT’S GOING TO BE WARM, HUMID AND MUGGY. WE’LL GET THE SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON YET AGAIN TOMORROW WITH SOME GUSTY WINDS. VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE’VE GOT GOING ON OUT THERE TODAY. BUT THIS RAIN IS GOING TO BE VERY, VERY BENEFICIAL FOR MANY AREAS THAT HAVEN’T SEEN RAIN IN QUITE A WHILE. AGAIN, THE ORANGE AREA IS POTENTIALLY THREE PLUS INCHES OF RAIN, AND THAT’S A PRETTY GOOD COVERAGE COME TOMORROW AFTERNOON. IF THE MODELS ARE INDEED CORRECT. AND BASED UPON WHAT WE’RE SEEING TODAY, THEY’RE ACTUALLY DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB. TEMPS TOMORROW 90 TO ABOUT 95 DEGREES. FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN TODAY BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA, BUT NOT BY MUCH. 100 TO ABOUT 106. AND THEN HERE COME THOSE LATE DAY SHOWERS AND STORMS. SO IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ANY POOL TIME WITH THE KIDDOS THERE, IT’S GOING TO HAVE TO BE EARLY IN THE DAY, NOT DURING THE AFTERNOON, BECAUSE WE’LL HAVE THE SHOWERS AND STORMS. AS YOU CAN SEE, AS WE GET YOU THE LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND. NOW, COVERAGE MIGHT BE JUST A LITTLE
