ORLANDO, Fla. — Showers and storms have been building along coastal counties and we forecast for storms to develop through the latter part of the afternoon across inland locations.
The sea breeze developed and is moving west. This will spark the storms mainly along inland Orange, Osceola, Seminole counties, near the I-4 corridor.
Some storms and showers will last until after sunset.
After 6 p.m. any showers will move from the south to the north as the winds will shift in response to Sally traveling north of Florida.
Central Florida: Storms have been focused along the coast throughout the day. The sea breeze will continue to develop storms along inland counties then the winds shift, from the SSE, then from the S which will continue to bring in showers through the evening hours. #Stormalert9 pic.twitter.com/RKS1zP9ugn
