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

ORLANDO, Fla. – A very moist, summer-like pattern remains locked over Central Florida.<\/p>\n

Scattered to numerous showers and storms will develop Monday afternoon and evening, with the highest rain chances generally from around 2 p.m. through midnight.<\/p>\n

Some storms could produce frequent lightning, gusty winds of 35\u201345 mph and very heavy rain.<\/p>\n

How much rain will we get?:<\/p>\n

Rainfall rates of 2\u20134″ in an hour will be possible beneath the heaviest storms, so localized street and poor-drainage flooding will be a concern where storms repeatedly move over the same areas.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

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

Highs reach the upper 80s to around 90 with heat index values in the mid 90s to near 103\u00b0.<\/p>\n

Heavier rain expected Tuesday, Wednesday <\/p>\n

The pattern becomes even more favorable for widespread rain Tuesday and Wednesday as a front stalls across Florida and an area of low pressure develops near the east coast.<\/p>\n

Numerous to widespread showers and storms are expected both days, especially during the afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n

Slow-moving storms may produce repeated rounds of heavy rainfall, and the Weather Prediction Center has placed east Central Florida under a<\/p>\n

Flooding of roads and low-lying areas will be the main concern, along with frequent lightning and isolated stronger storms capable of 40\u201350 mph wind gusts.<\/p>\n

\"\" Rain continues into the weekend <\/p>\n

This will not be a quick one or two-day event.<\/p>\n

Above-normal rain chances remain in the forecast Thursday through the weekend as the stalled boundary hangs around Florida.<\/p>\n

Scattered to widespread showers and storms remain possible each day, with only a gradual reduction in rain chances by Sunday.<\/p>\n

\"\" Tracking the tropics <\/p>\n

The disturbance in the southwestern Gulf has become a little more noteworthy overnight.<\/p>\n

A surface trough has developed near the coast of Mexico, and the National Hurricane Center now gives the system a 10% chance of development over the next 48 hours and a 50% chance over the next seven days.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

A tropical depression could form during the second half of this week as the system initially drifts eastward before eventually turning northward.<\/p>\n

Environmental conditions are only marginally favorable, so development should be gradual.<\/p>\n

It remains too early to determine what, if any, direct impacts this system could eventually have on Florida.<\/p>\n

For now, the more immediate concern locally is the prolonged stretch of heavy rain associated with the stalled front and nearby low pressure.<\/p>\n
