Rain looks unlikely until tomorrow afternoon, and even then, rain chances remain low\u2014right around 20 percent in most spots.<\/p>\n<p>Hourly breakdown for Orlando&#8217;s Monday forecast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Monday gets started in the mid and upper 70s before quickly warming up. Monday afternoon\u2019s forecast calls for highs in the low 90s, but with humidity still in place from recent rains, it\u2019ll feel more like the mid to upper 90s. That classic Central Florida stickiness is sticking around!<\/p>\n<p>Onshore flow persists for Central Florida.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Showers, if they pop up, are mainly expected to be south of Orlando. So, if you\u2019re in or north of Seminole\/Orange Counties, odds are you\u2019ll stay dry as the work week begins. The overall expectation\u2014plan for sunshine and maybe keep an umbrella nearby just in case, but don\u2019t bank on a washout.<\/p>\n<p>Heat and humidity trend continues<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Evenings are looking mild thanks to an onshore breeze, which will help drive the development of a sea breeze by afternoon. This brings a quick-moving wind off the Atlantic that can spark those isolated inland showers, but once again, most neighborhoods will dodge the raindrops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">This same pattern is forecast to repeat through Tuesday, keeping conditions steamy and mainly dry for most people around Orlando and the surrounding communities.<\/p>\n<p>Rain chances climb by the weekend as drought lingers<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">A noticeable uptick in moisture is predicted by Thursday, as flow off the Atlantic brings rain chances up to about 50 percent just in time for the weekend. We are currently in moderate to extreme drought, so any additional showers and storms will be more than welcome for parched areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Have a great week, and remember you can share your weather photos or storm sightings with News 6 using PinIt! at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickorlando.com\/pins\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ClickOrlando.com\/pins\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mostly dry Monday forecast with just a few showers ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Mild, humid conditions prevail Sunday night&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":274666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[57860,9741,21521,14758,508,139,78975,141,140,21520,8050,21925,1286],"class_list":["post-274665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-7-day-forecast","tag-central-florida-weather","tag-clickorlando-com","tag-drought-conditions","tag-forecast","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-forecast","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-pinpoint-weather","tag-rain-chances","tag-spotty-showers","tag-temperatures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
