Here's what to expect Wednesday in Central Florida:
- 40% chance of showers, storms for Wednesday afternoon
- High temperatures backing down
- We're tracking activity in the tropics
Another muggy one tonight with only an isolated shower possible along the east coast. Under a partly cloudy sky, temperatures will only dip into the middle and upper 70s.
A wind shift out of the northeast will allow for a few more showers and storms the rest of the week with high temperatures backing down to the low 90s.

Over the past few days, each day has been hotter than the last with our high temperature Tuesday only two degrees shy of the record set back in 1015 of 99. This is where the heat breaks for the rest of the week.
The wind is now from the northeast rather than from the south, allowing for temperatures to back down about 5 degrees. Our normal high is running at 91 and should be close to that number each day as we go into the weekend.
In turn, our chance for showers and storms is increasing with most development expected away from the east coast and westward each afternoon.
In the tropics, Fiona has weakened to a remnant low with not much expected out of her.
Gaston is intensifying in the Atlantic, close to 3,000 miles away.
Then there is Invest 99, a poorly defined tropical wave between the two that continues moving westward around 15 to 20 mph.
If this wave gets its act together, it could be the next named storm and would be called Hermine. At this time, chance for formation is 50/50.
Conditions remain poor for surfers with only 1 to 2 foot wave heights again for Wednesday. Rip current is increasing to moderate with an onshore flow. Water temperatures are near 78 in Daytona Beach and near 84 in Cocoa Beach. UV index is slightly lower but still a 9 on a scale from 1 to 12.
