Stormy Weekend Ahead for Central Florida
Hey everyone, if you’ve got plans in Central Florida this weekend, you might want to keep an eye on the sky because it looks like we’re in for a pretty stormy stretch. The latest updates show high chances of scattered showers and thunderstorms across the region, starting today and continuing through the weekend. Some of these storms could be heavy, bringing strong downpours, lightning, and even gusty winds. So, outdoor plans might need a little flexibility.
This morning, the rain has already started in parts of Central Florida, and it’s expected to intensify as the day goes on. By noon, storm coverage could reach around 70%, and that high probability is likely to persist through the afternoon. The timing isn’t ideal for those with afternoon or evening activities, as showers and thunderstorms are expected during those hours. The good news is that, later in the evening, things are expected to clear up a bit, leaving behind lingering clouds and a few stray showers.
Temperatures will feel a bit cooler than usual for this time of year, thanks to the cloud cover and persistent rain. Expect highs mainly in the upper 80s, which is slightly below the typical late-August heat. For those heading to the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in Daytona Beach, there’s a small chance of early evening showers, but skies are expected to clear afterward, and temperatures will dip into the upper 70s. The advice from meteorologists is to bring rain gear and stay updated with forecast alerts, especially if you’re planning any outdoor events.

Looking ahead, the unsettled weather is expected to continue into early next week. A weak front remains stalled over the Southeast, keeping daily afternoon storms likely. Temperatures will gradually rise, with highs climbing into the low and mid-90s by midweek. Rain chances may fluctuate slightly as the front shifts and another system moves in from the northwest, but overall, showers and thunderstorms will remain part of the forecast.
Along the coast, dangerous surf and rip currents remain a concern, especially with the remnants of Hurricane Erin influencing the area. Even though Erin is moving into cooler waters and will become post-tropical, the elevated rip current risk continues, so swimmers and beachgoers should exercise caution. Meanwhile, tropical waves in the Atlantic are being monitored, though none are expected to directly impact the U.S. at this time.
So, in short, it’s going to be a wet and active weekend across Central Florida. Whether you’re heading to a race, the beach, or just running errands, keep an umbrella handy, check the radar, and plan for the storms to come. It’s one of those weekends where Mother Nature is making sure we don’t take the sunshine for granted!
