Here's what you need to know for Central Florida's weather for the week ahead:

  • 40% storm chance for Wednesday and Thursday
  • Rain chances  at 40% for July 4
  • The tropics remain quiet

A west-southwest flow is helping pump in the moisture, and a weak cool front in northern Florida continues to dissipate as it slides north.

The rest of tonight we will have clouds continue to break apart with lows remaining mild in the middle 70s.

We’ll keep a southwest flow in the forecast the next couple days, then swing over to an east or southeast flow by late Thursday into Friday, as high pressure builds back across the Sunshine State. Our offshore flow will keep us in a 40 percent storm coverage tomorrow and Thursday. We may briefly scale back to a 30 percent storm chance Friday, as the high moves in, then back to about a 40 percent chance of showers and storms from the Fourth of July through next Tuesday.

A return to an onshore flow for the holiday weekend means isolated showers early in the day along and just off the east coast, then as the east coast sea breeze & west coast sea breeze work inland, scattered afternoon/evening showers and storms interior areas. Highs are forecast to climb into the low to mid 90s over the entire forecast period, with lows in the mid to upper 70s.

The tropics are once again quiet, with a few waves here and there creating pockets of showers and storms. No tropical development is forecast over the next 5 days.
