ORLANDO, Fla. – Another foggy start is expected Tuesday morning in parts of Central Florida, with some areas experiencing reduced visibility. Because of this, a dense fog advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. for Volusia, Flagler and northern Brevard counties.
A weak moisture boundary will continue to track north and east through the afternoon as an area of low pressure develops along the eastern seaboard. Along the boundary, several waves of energy will make it into Central Florida by Tuesday afternoon and again into early Wednesday.
The timing of the first round will come Tuesday afternoon as the sea breezes crisscross the area. A strong westerly flow will push most of the activity on the radar toward the east coast into the evening. The severe threat remains limited, however lightning, gusty winds and heavy rain will be possible.
Another round of rain rolls in late Tuesday and into early Wednesday morning as the main boundary arrives.
Forecast models continue to differ whether or not storms will fire up again by Wednesday afternoon as it will be highly dependent on how quickly the system passes through. If the boundary clears quickly, we can expect a drier afternoon. But if the timing lags a bit in the afternoon, the combination of instability and daytime heating will increase the chance for strong to severe storms. At this point, rain chances will sit at 60% early on Wednesday, with a decrease to 30-50% into the afternoon.
Due to the threat, the Storm Prediction Center has highlighted east Central Florida under a marginal risk through Wednesday.
Drier weather settles in Thursday and Friday, while temperatures warm even further into the low to mid-80s.
Another front is expected to approach the area again this weekend. Ahead of the front on Saturday, temperatures could climb to the warmest values of the year so far -- into the mid- to upper 80s.
