Meteorologist George Waldenberger said we’ll get one more day with an excessive heat warning on Sunday for Orlando and 110-degree heat index numbers.

But in the days that follow, we’ll begin a trend toward less heat and more rain by the mid-end of next week.

Tropics are quiet for now!

What about rain? We’re much drier than normal, but a few spotty storms will hit select locations as the sea breeze moves inland through sunset. Then expect another steamy night tonight.

There is a higher chance of rain tomorrow during the afternoon or early evening, but not everyone will get some.
