Tropical moisture moved north on Father’s Day, which will help to increase chances for rain and storms across Central Florida.
Widely scattered showers and storms built up durring the early afternoon as sea breeze activity moved coastal showers inland.
WFTV meteorologist Kassandra Crimi forecast Sunday morning that the showers would bring isolated downpours and active lightning.

High temperatures reached the mid- to upper 80s for most of the area.
Residents can expect to see the soggy weather pattern stick around over the next few days.
The rain chances will stay high before things dry out and heat up by the middle of the week.
