Scattered storms move through Central Florida

Staying sultry in Central Florida Sunday | Highs surge back into mid 90s with low storm chances

Feels like temperatures Sunday with the humidity factored in.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Say that five times fast. Rain and storm chances increase slightly Sunday, but still most of Central Florida will be dry. Like the past few days, any downpour or storm that gets going will start along Interstate 75 and push to the east coast. Highs climb into the low-to-mid 90s with the heat index jumping into the 100-108 ballpark.

The heat index or “feels like” is not made up value. Your body cools itself by sweating and then having that sweat evaporate by the air. It’s a process known as evaporative cooling. When there is more humidity in the air, your sweat doesn’t evaporate as much and therefore your body won’t cool down, leading to more heat-related illnesses.
