Warmer temperatures and higher humidity today will cause these storms to develop much more quickly than they did on Saturday.

Our main impacts in Central Florida will be pockets of heavy rain, wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph, and hail in the strongest storms.

Areas east of I-4 will be the first to see a chance of severe weather in the early afternoon.

During the evening, models suggest that areas north of Orlando will have a better chance of experiencing stronger thunderstorms.
