Streaming in out of the Gulf, a developing low pressure area is pumping a thick plume of showers and storms almost due east across the peninsula. <\/p>\n<p>Tonight the radar remains very hectic and busy with rains and storms piling up from the Gulf coast (Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">We\u2019ve gotten reports of customers in the Tampa Bay area dialing 911 because of rapidly rising waters and dangerously heavy rains piling up all at once in some neighborhoods. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">This same band of densely packed rainfall is headed right into Orlando where an Aerial Flood Advisory is in effect until 8 p.m. The National Weather Service is closely investigating whether this will be upgraded to a flash flood warning especially with the accumulating water we\u2019ve already seen since this event got underway. <\/p>\n<p>Gusty winds within some of our more put together thunderstorms have actually knocked out power for customers out west and in our viewing area (Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">We are still beneath a level one marginal risk for isolated severe thunderstorms. The main threats with these would include damaging straight-line winds and a rogue funnel cloud or tornado. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">These threats will remain low, as the saturated environment far more supports the heavy rain that\u2019ll stick around through dinner time and towards daybreak tomorrow. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">However, plan to feel some gusty winds during the mid-sections of tonight into early Monday morning as our strongest thunderstorms push through out of the west towards our east coast between now and midnight. <\/p>\n<p>Today was categorized as a level one marginal severe risk for an isolated threat for a severe thunderstorm or two which could produce damaging straight line winds or a potential tornado (Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">After midnight we\u2019re anticipating heavy rains should lessen to more light to moderate, steady rains. This could still pile some water up in some spots, but the overall risk factor will continue to diminish as we approach the start of your Monday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">I will also add, computer models are much slower to move this deluge of rain out of our area. When you compare what\u2019s occurring right now as I\u2019m putting this article together for you, to what models show for this hour, 8 p.m., they\u2019re well behind the curve. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">Getting out the door tomorrow we could see some leftover rain showers in our southern viewing counties. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">A large majority of the worst rains will have moved on by the time the sun comes up. <\/p>\n<p>Rainfall chances for us tomorrow, primarily for our southern viewing counties before we clear out (Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">But to be on the safe side, I would pack the umbrella and perhaps drive the kids to the bus stop or to school if you have the ability to do so, just be safe on those roadways especially in areas that see higher rainfall amounts tonight. There could be leftover pooled waters still down the pike.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow sunrise could unveil some leftover showers still with us before we fully clear out by midday (Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">By about 10 a.m. to noon that\u2019s when the true clearing trend will begin. Winds will switch to out of the north finally allowing the cooler, drier air we\u2019re counting on to flush the atmosphere out to move in. <\/p>\n<p>Until the weekend, temperatures will be far more mild and skies will clear up (Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">Monday night and into Tuesday will give way to cooler overnight lows and much more pleasant afternoon high temperatures. Our next shot for rain and warmth comes in the form of another cold front on approach for Friday into Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>Daily Forecast<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kiwhtN\">The News 6 Weather team ensures you&#8217;re always on top of the day&#8217;s weather.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 The weather outside is fairly gnarly this evening across the majority of Central Florida.
