Record-breaking heat expected across Central Florida

Scorching heat continues once again

ORLANDO, Fla. – The familiar heat dome out to the the west continues to keep things hot across the area on Sunday.

On Saturday, an 85-year-old temperature record was broken in Orlando when it hit 100 degrees. The old record of 98 degrees was set back in 1938.

The forecast on Sunday will be very similar to Saturday, starting off with plenty of sunshine during the morning hours. No rain is expected during the morning.

After 2 p.m., the east coast sea breeze will increase, firing up a few showers and storms across the area. The rain chances are higher inland, between 40-50%, and in coastal areas, between 20-30%.
