Numerous T-Storms, some Strong, Thursday Afternoon
Storms could bring winds up to 50 mph and localized flooding as rain chances stay elevated through the weekend, forecasters said.
The First Warning Weather team issued a Weather Aware day for Central Florida on Thursday as numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon.
Increased atmospheric instability from a weak frontal boundary to the north will trigger storms, with some packing winds up to 50mph and causing localized flooding in low-lying areas.
Morning showers are expected to lead to widespread storms today, with coverage reaching 70% from midday through the afternoon, persisting through the evening with scattered showers possible through 10pm.
Stormy conditions are forecast to persist through the weekend, with coverage ranging from 70% to 80% for both Saturday and Sunday as another cold front approaches the Deep South into Central Florida.
Central Florida will gradually transition back to a typical sea breeze pattern next week, while the tropics are expected to remain quiet over the next seven days.
