ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 While a hot Tuesday is on tap for Central Florida, the heat won\u2019t be as extreme as in recent days.<\/p>\n

Meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said conditions won\u2019t be as steamy and no heat advisory will be issued. <\/p>\n

Afternoon highs Tuesday are expected to reach the low to mid 90s, with heat index values 100\u00b0-106\u00b0. <\/p>\n

Partly cloudy skies will give way to widespread rain and storms for the Channel 9 viewing area \u2014 about a 60% chance.<\/p>\n

Crimi said heavy pockets of rain with slow moving storms could lead to some nuisance flooding in areas with poor drainage. Some storms could be strong with gusty winds and active lightning. <\/p>\n
