Rainfall this week has been substantial across much of Central Florida, including our neighbors to the west, in the Tampa area. Some locations have received over 7 inches of rain.
Make sure to stay aware where storms are moving and how they might affect your commute as you may encounter some flooded streets.
The typical afternoon pattern returns over the weekend. High temperatures in the low 90s will trigger the sea breeze, which will develop afternoon storms, mainly affecting inland locations. About 40 percent of Central Florida should receive measurable rain on both days.
Tropical moisture promises to arrive next week bringing, once again, higher than average chances for showers and storms.
