AND SPEAKING OF SEVERE WEATHER, LET\u2019S CHECK IT OUT FIRST. WARNING METEOROLOGIST MARQUISE MEDA MARQUISE TOMORROW. NOT SEVERE, BUT DEFINITELY IMPACT WEATHER. SOMETHING WE WANT TO WATCH OUT FOR. YEAH, WE HAVE THE CHANCE FOR A FEW STRONGER STORMS. I DO BELIEVE ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY WILL BE WATCHING THE WINDS, ESPECIALLY ONCE YOU MOVE ALONG THE I-75 CORRIDOR. DAMAGING WINDS CAN GUST UPWARDS OF 45MPH. OTHER THREATS THAT WE COULD STILL SHOW LOW IMPACTS FOR ANY CHANCE FOR NET SPIN UPS, THE CHANCE FOR HAIL, AND ALSO HEAVY RAIN. WE\u2019LL HAVE SOME POCKETS WITH AN INCH OR MORE IN SOME AREAS HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. AND THAT\u2019S SUNDAY EVENING. AND SOME OF THESE RAIN SHOWERS WILL LINGER OUT THE DOOR ON MONDAY AS WELL. WE\u2019LL TAKE YOU OUT TO ORLANDO RIGHT NOW. WHICH CONDITIONS ARE CALM? QUITE WARM, AS A MATTER OF FACT, WINDS FROM THE SOUTHEAST RIGHT NOW AT EIGHT MILES PER HOUR, HAVE TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 60S, 66 DEGREES, WITH A BLANKET OF CLOUDS OVERHEAD. AND WE\u2019RE NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THE MID 60S HERE IN ORLANDO, CLERMONT YOU MATCH THAT KISSIMMEE 66 AS WELL. SAINT CLOUD, 66 DEGREES. ALSO NEW SMYRNA BEACH, YOU\u2019RE IN THE MID 60S JUST LIKE OCALA. YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST AS WE CONTINUE ACROSS THE REST OF YOUR VALENTINE\u2019S DAY EVENING, DOES SHOW TEMPERATURES SLOWLY CRAWLING INTO THE LOWER 60S. BEFORE WE START TO SKYROCKET TOMORROW, THAT SOUTHERLY COMPONENT OF YOUR WINDS WILL REALLY DO ITS JOB IN AIDING TO WARM UP YOUR TEMPERATURES. EVEN WITH A FEW EXTRA CLOUDS IN THE FORECAST FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT, THOUGH, ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA WILL WIND DOWN ANYWHERE BETWEEN 57 TO 6666 DEGREE TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT, WITH LIGHT WINDS COMING IN WITH LIGHT WINDS IN THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, WE DO RUN THE RISK FOR A LITTLE BIT OF PATCHY FOG SOUTH ACROSS I-4, DROPPING YOUR VISIBILITY DOWN BELOW THREE STATUTE MILES. BUT ULTIMATELY THAT FOG WILL LIFT AS TEMPERATURES WILL RISE QUICKLY TOMORROW. NOTICE THAT WE SAY HELLO TO THE 80S HERE IN ORLANDO, BUT KEEP IN MIND WE\u2019RE STILL TRACKING IMPACT WEATHER WITH THE CHANCE FOR STRONGER STORMS ONCE WE MOVE INTO THE EVENING. BUT WE COULD SEE SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS I-75 AS EARLY AS 4 OR 5:00. NOW, THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY SUPPLYING US WITH THE STORMS FOR TOMORROW IS SLOWING DOWN A LITTLE BIT. WE RUN THESE MODELS HOUR BY HOUR. I\u2019LL SHOW YOU THAT IN A SECOND. BUT HERE\u2019S WHERE THE SEVERE THREAT DOES LIE. TODAY, ACROSS THE NORTH AND WESTERN GULF. TOMORROW IT\u2019S RIGHT INTO THE SUNSHINE STATE, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE I-10 AND I-75 CORRIDORS IN WHICH WE\u2019RE WATCHING OUT FOR THOSE DAMAGING WINDS. HAIL. AS I MENTIONED, HEAVY RAIN. AND YOU CAN\u2019T RULE OUT THE SMALL CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO SPIN UP. SO BEFORE THE SHOWERS GET HERE, BREEZY ALL THROUGHOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA, NOTICE THOSE STRONG WINDS FROM THE SOUTH AND THE WEST HAVE GUSTS UP TO 30MPH. LOOK AT OCALA THOUGH 40 MILE PER HOUR CONDITIONS WITH THAT LINE OF SHOWERS MOVING IN AT 630 NOW. SO A LITTLE BIT LATER. AND THAT\u2019S ACTUALLY BETTER NEWS FOR US BECAUSE AS TEMPERATURES COOL AFTER SUNSET, WE\u2019RE GOING TO LOSE SOME OF THE HEATING ELEMENTS THAT SUPPLY US WITH THOSE STRONGER CHANCES FOR HIGHER INSTABILITY AND STRONGER STORMS. SLOW MOVING FRONT, THOUGH STILL ACROSS THE I-4 CORRIDOR AT 10:00. SHOWERS INTO DAYTONA BEACH AT THAT TIME, NOW PUSHING TOWARDS THE SOUTH AND THE EAST, AND WE CAN STILL SEE SOME SHOWERS TO OUR SOUTH EARLY OUT THE DOOR ON MONDAY MORNING FOR BREVARD COUNTY. TRACKING THAT CHANCE FOR ANY TORNADO SPIN UPS THIS YEAR. ROTATION RISK ONLY ABOUT A 5% CHANCE WHERE WE HAVE THIS AREA OF GREEN 5 TO 10% CHANCE NOW MOVING ACROSS I-4 AT TEN 11:00, PUSHING OUT TOWARDS THE EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC JUST OVERNIGHT. AND THEN FUTURECAST HAS THAT FRONT PUSHING OFFSHORE MONDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN AND WE\u2019LL FOLLOW THAT WITH WARMER CONDITIONS. DAYTONA BEACH WILL HIT THE 80S BY THURSDAY AND WE COULD DO SO EVEN EARLIER. INLAND 82 DEGREES ON WEDNESDAY, 83 ON THURSDAY. BUT KEEP IN MIND WE\u2019RE STILL TRACKING THAT CHANCE FOR I\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Heavy rain, wind, hail possible Sunday in Central Florida | Impact Weather<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768911270_880_wesh.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WESH logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 11:03 PM EST Feb 14, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wesh.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDamaging winds and hail are possible on Sunday in Central Florida when evening storms move through.
