ORLANDO, Fla. — Only a few isolated showers and storms to end our work week as temperatures warmed to around 90 degrees.

The slightly drier air will be overtaken by deep tropical moisture this weekend and help to ramp rain chances back up, especially by Labor Day and into Tuesday.

Highs will stay in the upper 80s to low 90s with overnight lows in the mid-70s.

Partly cloudy skies are in the forecast through the overnight hours. Temperatures will be mild and muggy, falling into the mid-70s.

Some sunshine and quiet conditions will start out our Saturday. We can’t rule out a stray coastal shower early, but most will be dry through lunch.

Scattered showers and storms will develop in the afternoon as the east coast sea breeze moves west. Not a complete washout, but some heavy rain and lightning will be possible.

A tropical wave will move over Central Florida early next week and into the Gulf.

This wave will be responsible for increasing moisture and the chance for rain. It will also bring some breezy winds and slightly lower temperatures.

Ocean conditions look favorable through the holiday, but there are some concerns. Watch for developing storms and make sure to take the sunscreen!

Tropical Update

In the tropics, the tropical wave near Hispaniola will bring us some moisture early next week and then move into the Gulf. This is where there is a low chance for tropical formation as it moves toward the Gulf Coast.

Also, south of the Cabo Verde Islands, we now have Tropical Depression Six. This system may strengthen more over the weekend, but is expected to stay well away from the United States.  

Atlantic hurricane season peaks in September and runs through Nov. 30.
