ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Temperatures will remain warm and another round of storms will be possible Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Central Florida is still in a summer trend with our weather. <\/p>\n

This means hot humid and afternoon rain chances for some throughout our area.<\/p>\n

Afternoon highs on Monday will stop around 90 degrees and will feel a tad bit warmer due to high humidity. <\/p>\n

The heat index could be upwards of 93 to 95 degrees.<\/p>\n

Today we are not tracking as high of a severe storm threat, but we still could have a few strong thunderstorms develop in the late afternoon and early evening.<\/p>\n

The main threat in a storm that develops is strong wind gusts, heavy rain and frequent lightning.<\/p>\n

No significant cold fronts are expected to move through the area over the next week, which will change this pattern between now and then.<\/p>\n
