Thunderstorms, Heavy Rain For Central Florida

ORLANDO, Florida - Scattered to numerous showers and storms are forecast to develop into this afternoon and evening, as sea breeze boundaries push inland and collide across east Central Florida, mainly west of I-95. 

Storms will generally move slowly toward the east, with some of this activity potentially pushing back toward the coast and just offshore through late afternoon and early evening.

The strongest storms may contain gusty winds, heavy rain, and frequent lightning, according to the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center. 

Slower moving or persistent storms will be capable of producing locally heavy rainfall up to 2 to 4 inches today. This may lead to temporary minor flooding of roadways and poor drainage areas.

Hot and humid conditions continue today, and a Moderate to Major Heat Risk exists across the area. 

Highs will reach the low to mid 90s this afternoon, with peak heat index values around 102 to 107 before increasing storms and cloud cover later into the afternoon begin to bring some relief.
