CENTRAL FLORIDA — Expect more showers and storms Monday, after a stormy Sunday that's causing dozens of flight cancellations at Orlando International Airport.
The showers moving across Central Florida for the morning commute started as strong storms that knocked out power to thousands in the Tampa area Monday morning.
Channel 9 certified meteorologist Rusty McCranie said the sun will reemerge as showers pass, but another round of isolated showers and storms is possible later Monday.
The rain continues to weaken, but it is widespread across Orange County right now.

The roads are already wet, and this rain won't help that.

The showers follow a Sunday evening round of storms that brought heavy rain, isolated flooding, thunder and lightning to Central Florida. The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for Lake and Volusia counties until 2 p.m. and for Seminole County until Wednesday morning.
Several flights are delayed or canceled going out of Orlando International Airport.
Yesterday was no fun. ⛈

It is going to be a wet drive.
Once this slug of rain moves out later this morning, additional storms will develop again this afternoon.
