ORLANDO, Fla. – An active stormy summer pattern continues across Central Florida over the next several days with scattered showers and storms possible each afternoon.
As sea breezes collide, slow moving storms will keep the threat for flooding for inland neighborhoods between I-4 and I-75 with coverage at 50-60%. Coastline looks to remain a bit drier with coverage at 30-40%.
Along with the storms, we will also have to contend with the heat as highs will climb a bit further on Tuesday in the mid 90s with heat indices reaching 100-105 degrees.
Expect much of the same throughout the week and into the weekend with the combination of sweltering heat and afternoon storms.
Rain chances become a bit more uncertain by Sunday and into early next week as we continue to keep tabs on model trends for the broad tropical wave in the Atlantic.
There continues to be a decent amount of uncertainty between models regarding intensity and track over the next seven days. European model favors a stronger system taking a turn by the Bahamas and remaining over the Atlantic, while the GFS keeps it a bit weaker and pulls it into the Gulf of Mexico. Many factors remain in play on this disturbance future including dry air and the strength and position of the Bermuda high.
If it does get a name, it would be called Debby.
With that being said, it is still too early to determine what, if any, impacts could be felt in Central Florida. This is a system that is worth watching and closely monitoring through the weekend.
