ORLANDO, Fla. – Scattered storms will be around Saturday, especially for the first part of the day as more tropical moisture is pulled in from Ida. Ida continues to track toward Louisiana, but will drag moisture across the Florida Peninsula helping to get downpours and storms started.
As Ida moves through the Central Gulf of Mexico, drier air will return to Central Florida lowering rain chances a bit Saturday evening and Sunday. Other than a stray downpour, the races at Daytona International Speedway Saturday look mainly dry, especially in the evening. Highs Saturday will top out around degrees with Sunday topping out in the lower 90s.
