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

ORLANDO, Fla. – The weekend, much like our Thursday, will feature more frequent showers and storms, especially west of Orlando.<\/p>\n

Torrential rain, frequent lightning, as well as gusty wind are all a possibility in the strongest of storms.<\/p>\n

The unsettled pattern looks to hold as we kick off the weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\" Storm chances elevated Friday into Saturday <\/p>\n

This onshore flow we’ve been dealing with continues Friday as a weak disturbance to our east skirts on by.<\/p>\n

This wave will help enhance our rain chances locally with more frequent showers and storms developing, especially later in the day.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

A few showers and storms will be around during the AM, but the coverage really increases through the afternoon into the evening.<\/p>\n

Wind gusts between 40 and 50 mph will be possible, as well as plenty of lightning.<\/p>\n

Saturday is essentially a cope and paste sort of day, with storm chances up nearly 70%. The highest coverage will be during the afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n

\"\" Rain chance go down into next week <\/p>\n

Rain chances go back down little-by-little toward seasonable norms Sunday into Monday.<\/p>\n

We’ll still hit or miss showers and storms during the afternoon and evenings with the help of the sea breezes, but overall, we’ll see less coverage.<\/p>\n

That trend continues through Tuesday with even lower rain chances. This is thanks to a ridge of high pressure build back in.<\/p>\n

With that, chances come down to around 20% Tuesday through Thursday. We’ll still have the potential for a few showers and storms with the sea breeze collision, but coverage will be much lower.<\/p>\n

Heat builds again <\/p>\n

With this ridge of high pressure building, we’ll feel our temps coming back up.<\/p>\n

Our average for this time of year is 92, and we’ll likely be a few degrees above that.<\/p>\n

Highs jump from the lower 90s this weekend and early next week to the mid-90s Tuesday.<\/p>\n

By late week, a few spots may be able to rise into the upper 90s, but either way, the humidity will make it feel like the lower to mid-100s.<\/p>\n

We’ll likely be shy of Heat Advisory criteria, but we’ll have the heat risk to contend with for the first few days back to school.<\/p>\n
