ORLANDO, Fla. – A cold front that is currently moving through the panhandle will make its way into Central Florida on Sunday.
While this front won’t bring a big dip in temperatures, it will bring a chance for scattered showers and a few storms that could turn strong to severe.
The rain starts off early tomorrow morning northwest of Interstate 4 around 7 or 8 a.m. and then continues a south-to-southeast path, reaching the metro around midmorning.
Storms will continue to move south through lunch with gradual clearing after 1 or 2 p.m.
There’s a marginal severe weather risk for most of Central Florida which is a level 1 out of 5, meaning an isolated severe storm will be possible.
Most of Brevard County and far eastern Osceola County are under a slight risk (a level 2 out of 5) which means a few severe thunderstorms are possible.
The main hazards will be strong wind gusts of 40-60 mph, heavy rain, frequent lightning, and coin-sized hail. An isolated brief tornado can’t be ruled out, but that risk is low.
Most of the stormy weather looks to move out of Central Florida around 2 p.m. with gradual clearing following as drier air moves in behind the front.
The additional cloud cover and rain will help keep high temperatures a little cooler than today in the upper 80s.
