ORLANDO, Fla. -- Tropical Storm Gordon continues to move into the Gulf of Mexico and away from the Florida coastline.

A slight chance for a few spot storms and showers overnight. There could be some scattered showers across Central Florida for the Tuesday morning commute. But, the storms and downpours will not be as intense.

Temperatures overnight will drop back into the 70s with afternoon highs tomorrow returning to the upper 80s and lower 90s.

A more typical afternoon of scattered storms will develop across Central Florida for Tuesday. Storms will increase during the afternoon from east to west.  Storms will diminish by early evening and skies will gradually clear out heading into Wednesday morning. Overnight lows will drop into the 70s.

Drier air will move in for Wednesday and this will lead to fewer afternoon storms. The coverage of storms on Wednesday will only be 40 percent for midweek. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 80s and lower 90s after starting out in the 70s.

Tropical Update

Tropical Storm Gordon is still on track to impact the northern Gulf Coast late Tuesday. Tropical storm warnings and hurricane watches are now posted for part of that area. Gordon will likely make in landfall in Mississippi or eastern Louisiana as a borderline hurricane. Heavy rainfall, storm surge and tropical storm force winds will all be threats.

Tropical Storm Florence, is in the extreme Eastern Atlantic and it continues to move toward the west. It is not expected to gain much strength over the next 48 hours. This will stay in the open waters of the Atlantic through the end of the week.

The track is a bit uncertain for the weekend. Some forecast models continue to take Florence west while others are taking it to the north and away from the U.S. Coastline.

Another tropical wave has come off the coast of Africa. This tropical wave has a 40 percent chance of development in the next 5 days.

Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30.
