ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Wednesday will bring a classic late-summer feel to Central Florida, with hot, muggy conditions and another round of afternoon and evening storms.<\/p>\n

Temperatures will climb into the upper 80s and low 90s Wednesday afternoon. <\/p>\n

As the sea breeze develops, showers and thunderstorms are expected to fire up, with the greatest coverage likely across interior communities.<\/p>\n

Morning Forecast: Wednesday, September 9, 2026 (WFTV)<\/p>\n

Some storms could produce locally heavy rainfall, so a few spots may pick up a quick downpour. <\/p>\n

Storm and rain chances will remain elevated through the rest of the week and into the weekend.<\/p>\n

While the weather stays active locally, the tropics remain unusually quiet.<\/p>\n

Thursday marks the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, but there is little indication of a major uptick in tropical activity over the next week. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hot and humid Wednesday with storms possible across Central Florida <\/p>\n

Long-range forecast models also suggest the tropics could remain relatively quiet well into September.<\/p>\n

That could have an important historical implication.<\/p>\n

If no hurricane forms before then, the Atlantic could set a record for the latest first hurricane of the season.<\/p>\n

For now, the tropics are staying quiet while the focus remains on Florida\u2019s daily heat, humidity and afternoon storms.<\/p>\n
