Forecast for the second half of the week

A trough will continue to provide plenty of instability for Central Florida. Rain and storm chance will remain high. Showers and storms will continue to affect our area during, on and off through the mornings and afternoons, some during the early evening hours still on Thursday.

On Friday, the trough exits our area, which will help the storm chance decrease slightly. Temperatures will still be in the low-90s during the afternoons.

In the tropics

In the tropics, Tropical Storm Paulette, Tropical Storm Rene continue to spin over the open Atlantic waters and they are not forecast to threaten the Americas.

We will continue to monitor the tropics, as there are two other areas where tropical development might occur by the weekend. The good news is that we have time to monitor them.
