Here's what you need to know about Central Florida's weather for Monday night and rest of your week:

  • Storms packing a punch
  • Strong May cold front coming

We’re keeping an eye on StormTracker 13 Doppler radar for the next few days, with strong storms possible this evening, Tuesday and Wednesday. Heat and humidity are about to be replaced though, as a strong May cold front punches across the southeast Wednesday. It should look beautiful late in the week.

A large ridge of high pressure responsible for our recent stretch of heat will begin breaking down, thanks to a strong late season cold front swinging across the southeast Wednesday. With the ridge still in place today, a south-southeast wind has been transporting up a decent amount of low-level moisture. The east and west coast sea breezes are expected to collide over the spine of the state. Showers and storms will take us through the evening commute, and some could contain torrential rain, frequent lightning, wind gusts over 50 mph and small hail. Any lingering activity will end around midnight, with patchy fog developing late.

Another round of afternoon showers and storms are set to develop Tuesday, and a few strong storms are possible. Highs reach the upper 80s to lower 90s. As the front sweeps in Wednesday, another round of strong to severe storms will be possible, especially late morning into the afternoon.

Highs will cool slightly into the low 80s Wednesday through Saturday.

We’ve had a few isolated showers near our beaches, but better chances for scattered activity may have some of you scurrying for cover the next couple days with the approach of a cold front. Poor surfing conditions are expected again tomorrow, with wave heights around knee high. We’ll keep the rip current risk moderate. Water temperatures have warmed to 80 at Cocoa Beach.
