ORLANDO, Fla. – For some, it felt almost refreshing with some slightly drier air spilling into Central Florida. Ocala dropped into the 60s for the first time since June. For only the second time since June 1, Daytona Beach dipped into the upper 60s.
The drier air means a lot more sunshine coming to Central Florida as Labor Day weekend continues. Highs climb into the low-to-mid 90s under sunny afternoon skies. Like Saturday, a few clouds bubble up with the heating of the day to make way for a couple of storms, mainly around and south of Orlando, later in the afternoon and evening.

Tropics update:
Hurricane Larry is expected to stay a major hurricane for the next several days as it approaches Bermuda. Large swells will make their way to Florida by the middle of the week, even as the storm moves away from the Sunshine State. Another area of low pressure will have the chance to develop over the coming days in the Gulf of Mexico. For more on the tropics click here.
