Along with the lingering end of the cold front moving south, there is unsettled weather in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere moving from the Gulf of Mexico. This area produced storms earlier and another wave, much weaker and less extensive, could move over Central Florida to end the afternoon. There is still a chance for some passing, lingering showers during the rest of the afternoon.
