Rain is back in the forecast across Central Florida this week.

After an extended dry spell for much of the area, rain chances are back in the forecast with at least 20 percent of Central Florida to receive measurable rain.

Monday afternoon's storms will be morning from west to east. The west wind also bringing hot conditions across the area. 

“It’s nice to be talking about a wetter pattern ahead across Central Florida,” said Channel 9 meteorologist Rusty McCranie.

Temperatures will be in the low 90s, but with the humidity they will feel as if they were in the mid to upper 90s for some locations.
