ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Hot and humid conditions continue across Central Florida on Tuesday, with another summer-like afternoon on tap. <\/p>\n

High temperatures will climb into the upper 80s along the coast, while inland communities heat up into the low 90s. <\/p>\n

When you factor in the humidity, though, it will feel even hotter. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Morning Forecast: Tuesday, May 26, 2026 (WFTV)<\/p>\n

Heat index values are expected to reach the mid to upper 90s through the afternoon hours.<\/p>\n

Rain chances on Tuesday will once again favor the Orlando metro and locations west of I-4, especially after 3 p.m. <\/p>\n

A few scattered storms could bring brief heavy downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning before activity fades later this evening.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, wetter weather is on the way for the end of the week. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rain and storm chances pick up this week <\/p>\n

An influx of tropical moisture will push into the region beginning Thursday, leading to a more active stretch of repeat showers and thunderstorms through at least Monday.<\/p>\n

While the soggy pattern may put a damper on some outdoor plans, the increased rainfall will be beneficial for drought conditions that continue across portions of Central Florida. <\/p>\n

Residents should be prepared for daily rounds of rain and storms, along with localized flooding concerns in heavier downpours.<\/p>\n
