The good news is temperatures are beginning a gradual downward trend, although the heat will remain significant. <\/p>\n

Every county in Central Florida continues to face a high heat risk on Sunday, and afternoon highs are expected to remain at least in the mid-90s through Friday.<\/p>\n

Rain chances will improve slightly Sunday and Monday, providing some relief from the heat. <\/p>\n

However, showers and storms are not expected to be as widespread as they were last week.<\/p>\n

Some of Sunday\u2019s storms could become strong to severe. <\/p>\n

The primary threats include frequent lightning, damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall. <\/p>\n

Storms are most likely to develop from the mid-afternoon through the early evening.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, rain chances decrease once again. <\/p>\n

From Tuesday through Friday, only isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms are expected across Central Florida, allowing the summer heat to remain the dominant weather story for much of the week.<\/p>\n
