\"Orlando <\/p>\n

ORLANDO, Fla. – A hot and seasonable day is in the works for Central Florida with chances of afternoon downpours and storms.<\/p>\n

Temperatures will be heating up, so plan for highs in the mid 80s along the coast, the low 90s inland, and even approaching the mid 90s near the I-75 corridor.<\/p>\n

A 30% chance of spotty afternoon showers and storms return today as well. These will favor areas close to the I-75 corridor and mainly west of I-4.<\/p>\n

However, there’s been a noticeable trend in the data that more of these showers and storms will reach areas further east and closer to the Orlando Metro.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Best chances of rain will take place between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

Areas that see the rain today could see patchy fog overnight.<\/p>\n

Temperatures will remain mild, falling into the low to mid 70s for Thursday morning lows.<\/p>\n

Afternoon showers, storms expected for the rest of the week <\/p>\n

Highs near 90 degrees and daily rounds of scattered afternoon showers and storms are on the way for the rest of the work week.<\/p>\n

Since there are going to be sea-breeze driven downpours and storms, areas from the I-75 corridor to the I-4 corridor will have the best chances of seeing the wet weather.<\/p>\n

Chances will be lower near the Atlantic coast and at the beaches. Plan for a 30% chance of storms tomorrow and a 40% chance Friday.<\/p>\n

\"\" Hot, humid holiday weekend <\/p>\n

Hot and muggy weather is on the way for Memorial Day Weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Highs will climb into the upper 80s and low 90s with slightly more elevated moisture and humidity levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This will lead to a 40% chance of scattered afternoon showers and storms for both Saturday and Sunday, with a 30% chance Monday.<\/p>\n

It won’t be a washout of a weekend, but if you have outdoor plans, with heavy rain and lightning likely, it’s important to make sure you have shelter nearby or back up plans in place to stay safe.<\/p>\n
