Warming up with chance for afternoon storms. Here’s your Central Florida forecast

Weather sets up summer-like day in Central Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. – The summer-time sampler will be served up again for your Thursday afternoon as conditions stay warm with a few afternoon showers and storms.

RAIN CHANCES:

Coverage will be up to 10-20% from Orlando westward mid-to-late afternoon. However, significant dry air in the mid and upper levels will inhibit any activity from becoming strong or widespread.

The main threats with the rain will be a brief downpour and a few lightning strikes.

Rain Chances May 2, 2024

TEMPERATURES:

Before the sea breezes push in, highs will have the potential to climb back into the low 90s inland and mid 80s along the coastline.

Highs Today May 2, 2024

WEEKEND:

This near-summer like pattern continue through the rest of the week and into the weekend as a large ridge of high pressure remains anchored over the western Atlantic.

Winds will pick up to 10-15 mph from the east both Saturday and Sunday.

Beach Forecast May 2

Beachgoers and boaters will have great weather to enjoy the sunshine through the weekend.

But beware as a high risk of rip currents remains in place for the next several days.
