Thick clouds have kept the atmosphere from warming too much and becoming unstable.
Although showers will ramp up during the evening, places which had a bit more sunshine during the afternoon will have a higher chance for storms, mainly be across southern Orange, Osceola and Brevard Counties.

Frio en camino a Florida Central. Tengan listos los abrigos
¡Es hora de desempolvar los abrigos! El primer (notable) frente frio de la temporada llega. Amigas, esto también significa que nuestro cabello estará espectacular durante los próximos días por la baja humedad.
