\"Orlando \"Orlando <\/p>\n

ORLANDO, Fla. – More heavy rain and storms are on the way for the last day of the work week with a 70% chance.<\/p>\n

It’s important to note it won’t be an all-day washout. A few spotty showers and downpours are possible this morning, which will be very hit-and-miss.<\/p>\n

By midday, around 11 a.m. to noon, showers and storms will begin to move in from the Gulf.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scattered storms and downpours will continue to develop and move to the southeast throughout the early to mid-afternoon.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

The main timing of the rain will be from around 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Hit-and-miss lingering storms and showers will be possible late tonight into the overnight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In terms of impacts, heavy rain will be the biggest.<\/p>\n

Slow moving downpours will drop a lot of rain over a short period of time, which could lead to areas of flooding and flash flooding.<\/p>\n

A few isolated strong storms are possible as well, with gusty winds and lightning.<\/p>\n

How hot will it get?:<\/p>\n

\"\" Rounds of heavy rain into the weekend <\/p>\n

This active setup continues into the weekend, which means more waves of heavy rain and storms pushing through Central Florida.<\/p>\n

There will be breaks in the rain, and it won’t be a constant washout, but it will be quite heavy at times and could lead to additional flooding.<\/p>\n

Areas that see repeated rounds of these slow-moving storms could pick up a quick few inches, leading to isolated flash flooding.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Rainfall totals:<\/p>\n

On average, 2 to 4 inches will be possible by the end of the weekend across Central Florida.<\/p>\n

A more typical pattern returns next week with daily rounds of sea-breeze driven afternoon downpours and storms.<\/p>\n

\"\" Near normal highs into early next week <\/p>\n

Thanks to the rain and clouds rolling in, high temperatures will be lower and closer to normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Highs will stay in the low 90s this weekend and into early next week, before highs creep back into the mid 90s.<\/p>\n
