Plenty of warmth and moisture combined with a weak cold front approaching from the northwest will all sync to produce showers to start the work week. Isolated showers have developed across northern counties and it will gradually increase in coverage, moving mainly to the east-southeast through the afternoon.
We are not expecting strong thunderstorms and it will not be a wash out. Showers will only affect some parts of Central Florida. The lucky places receiving showers will get a relief from the unseasonable warm temperatures. Coastal regions will reach the low 80s and interior portions will get to the mid to-high-80s.
Lots of rain just northwest of us - showers already popping up in Marion County. Timing it all out, on Channel 9 at Noon... pic.twitter.com/YpfiV5tXmE
