The greatest risk for severe weather is Sunday afternoon and evening, between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. Storms could last through the 9 p.m. with a few lingering into the overnight hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Highs in the mid 90s paired with humidity keep things steamy this afternoon. Feels-like temperatures could approach dangerous levels, peaking at a range of 106-110\u00b0.<\/p>\n<p>This week: Daily showers, afternoon downpours<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A summer-like set-up continues this week with daily rounds of afternoon and evening storms. Scattered showers and storms are likely each day this week with plenty of moisture to work with.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That being said, it&#8217;s important to mention some data keeps the Atlantic sea-breeze pinned to the coast. The sea-breeze usually acts as a driving force, helping to spark these showers and storms, meaning slightly lower chances by midweek. It&#8217;s a trend we&#8217;ll watch for in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>Quiet in the tropics<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">No tropical activity is expected over the next seven days. But just because it&#8217;s quiet doesn&#8217;t mean we let our guard down. It&#8217;s important to stay prepared through the entire hurricane season and to check in with the FOX 35 Storm Team for the latest.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/wofl_fox_local_articles_124\/566fbb7b2b0946278dd41929f4248b15.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Source<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This story was written based on information provided by FOX 35 meteorologist Jessica Dobson on July 26, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brief The FOX 35 Storm Team is tracking the chance for widespread, severe thunderstorms across Central Florida&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":353323,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[147,28,30,29,144445,82250,10173,65397],"class_list":["post-353322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-central-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-main-weather","tag-severe-thunderstorms","tag-severe-weather","tag-storm-team"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=353322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353322\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/353323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=353322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=353322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
