ORLANDO, Fla. — A heat index has been issued for all of central Florida for your day today, starting at 11:00 a.m. and lasting until 7:00 p.m.
This will only be the beginning of the heat, as high temperatures today will reach 94 to 96°, and we will be pushing the upper 90s by the start of the work week.
A heat index today could reach 105°F by the middle of the afternoon, but on Monday, we might see a heat index approaching 110°F during the afternoon.
This is caused by a very strong heat dome over the southeast, bringing increasingly warmer temperatures across the entire state.
The high pressure causing the heat dome will also limit rain chances for the next few days. We should see improved rain chances, likely by Wednesday or Thursday, with only isolated thunderstorms occurring between now and then.
