ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 After a soggy stretch of weather, Central Florida will catch a bit of a break on Wednesday as rain chances begin to ease. <\/p>\n

While it won\u2019t be completely dry, only isolated showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop during the afternoon and early evening hours.<\/p>\n

Temperatures will climb back to more typical levels for mid-May, with highs reaching the mid to upper 80s under a mix of clouds and sunshine. <\/p>\n

Morning Forecast: Wednesday, May 13, 2026 (WFTV)<\/p>\n

Any storms that form could bring brief downpours and lightning, but widespread heavy rain is not expected.<\/p>\n

The bigger weather story arrives later this week as a drier and hotter pattern settles in. <\/p>\n

By Thursday, rain chances continue to decrease while temperatures steadily rise. <\/p>\n

Afternoon highs are expected to return to the lower 90s by Friday, and that summer-like heat is forecast to stick around through the upcoming weekend.<\/p>\n
