Central Florida is transitioning from excessive heat to locally heavy rain and storms through Thursday.
A tropical wave in the central Atlantic is being monitored for additional development over the next several days as it moves generally toward the WNW and the far eastern Caribbean.
A Heat Advisory is in effect for the weekend.
As Tropical Disturbance 93L treks west of Orlando, we’ve already received over 7 to 8 inches of rain along the coast, and a large 1-4″ swath generally north of Orlando.
Newly formed #93L is spinning off Florida’s east coast, and will trek over Florida on Tuesday and over the very warm Gulf where it may develop later this week as it moves away from us.
Scattered afternoon storms will continue with roughly 50% of the area getting measurable rain each day.
Central Florida will experience slightly drier air this week, with only isolated showers expected for the rest of the week.
Despite several tropical waves, no tropical development is expected in the Atlantic and Caribbean over the next seven days.
The weather remains hot and humid, with storms likely along the east coast.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal are moving through the northeast U.S. and back out to sea and away.
