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

ORLANDO, Fla. – Scattered to widespread afternoon shower and storm chances continue today and will last through the end of the week.<\/p>\n

Plan for a 70% chance today and tomorrow with a 60% chance Friday and likely into the weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

A few isolated coastal downpours are possible this morning for Flagler, Volusia and Brevard counties. By late morning, between 8 and 11 a.m., we could see a few more showers and storms try to move inland from the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

This would bring us a bit of an earlier start time to our daily rounds of rain. That being said, it still appears that chances of the heaviest and most widespread activity will peak between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

With lightning expected, this could cause delayed dismissals at some schools this afternoon. By 7 to 9 p.m., the heaviest rain will push west near I-75 and into the Nature Coast and Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n

Elevated moisture levels across Florida are what will help bring us more areas of heavier rain.<\/p>\n

Some areas could get water logged and experience isolated flooding and ponding on roadways.<\/p>\n

By the end of the week, rainfall totals could amount to a widespread 3 inches or more. It’s also worth noting, that just about each and every afternoon brings the risk of a few isolated strong storms, with gusty winds, torrential rain, and frequent lightning being the main threats.<\/p>\n

Dangerous surf <\/p>\n

Large swells from the leftovers of Tropical Storm Dolly will bring large breaking waves and a high risk of dangerous rip currents at Atlantic beaches.<\/p>\n

Breakers will peak at around 3 to 5 feet. If you have plans on heading to the beach and getting in the water, make sure you swim near a lifeguard.<\/p>\n

\"\" Muggy and seasonably hot <\/p>\n

Higher storm chances and cloud cover will keep daily high temperatures closer to normal.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Our average high in Orlando is 91\u00b0, and we’ll stay right around the low 90s for most of this week before nearing the mid 90s for the weekend.<\/p>\n

That being said, it will still be uncomfortably humid and steamy outside thanks to that tropical moisture filtering into the region.<\/p>\n

Tracking the tropics <\/p>\n

As of 5 a.m., the National Hurricane Center has issued its final advisory for Edouard.<\/p>\n

Edouard is now situated over southeastern Texas between Houston and Dallas. It will continue to move to the northwest towards northern Texas and Dallas, weakening into a remnant low gradually for the rest of today.<\/p>\n

Despite its weaker status, Edouard will still bring heavy rain and the potential of flooding and flash flooding for north central Texas.<\/p>\n
