Roads will be wet through the morning drive Wednesday, but most of the rain is out of Central Florida except for a few leftover showers behind the system that moved in overnight.
"Expect a couple of areas of rain on and off through the day as the atmosphere is still a little unsettled," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said. "The coverage of rain through the first half of the day, even into the afternoon, is only at 20 percent of the coverage area."
The high in Orlando on Wednesday will be 84, more than 10 degrees above the average high on this date.
The same weather system spawned at least seven tornadoes in Louisiana, causing heavy damage in New Orleans' Ninth Ward. Power lines and trees were also toppled in the Jacksonville area.
There was no widespread damage in Central Florida, although a possible lightning strike damaged a home near Winderrmere.
According to Duke Energy, more than 1,300 homes lost power around 11 p.m. Tuesday in the Summerfield area of Marion County.
Rain chances will be 20 percent on Thursday as another front moves in.
"This front will come in fairly weak, but it will drop temperatures by 10 degrees," Bridges said. "We will see a few showers along the front on Thursday, with highs up to 82."
After the front on Friday, highs will only reach 72.
"There will be no rain through the end of the week as high temperatures warm back to near 80 on Saturday and Sunday," he said.
