ORLANDO, Fla. – There’s a higher chance of rain in the metro area and northwest due to sea breeze activity.
Along this boundary, scattered heavy rain will persist throughout the rest of Wednesday, bringing heavy downpours, lightning, and wind gusts of 40-50 mph.
Afternoon highs are expected to reach the middle to upper 90s but feel like 105-107° in most areas, but the rain is helping to cool down temperatures in a few cities.
The storm activity is expected to wrap up around sunset, leading to a mostly dry evening ahead. Overnight weather conditions are expected to be quiet under partly cloudy skies and low temperatures in the upper 70s.
Rain chances remain standard for July on Thursday with a 40-60% coverage. This setup is expected to last through Friday and the weekend.
Rain chances increase over the weekend with highs in the upper 90s feeling like 103-108°.
The Saharan dust returns this weekend and is expected to affect the air quality but could also enhance sunrise and sunset colors.
