ORLANDO, Fla. -- It’s been a more active Saturday across the area, courtesy of more moisture and an upper-level disturbance. The activity will slowly fade this evening, as temps fall into the 70s. Expect a fairly quiet overnight, with lows in the mid 70s.

Rain chances continue heading into Sunday. Winds will shift tomorrow from the west, bringing showers and storms across the region in an west-to-east fashion. Highs for Sunday will be in the low 90s.

Drier air will return for next week. This drier air will result in lower rain chances for Monday and Tuesday. Scattered showers and storms will still develop in the PM hours, with highs in the low 90s.

No changes are expected for midweek as the drier air remains in place. Expect quiet conditions in the morning both Wednesday and Thursday, with scattered storms developing in the afternoon. Highs both days will be in the low 90s.

It is the peak of Hurricane Season and the Atlantic Basin is active with multiple systems to watch.

Florence is expected to strengthen this week and it could make landfall along the eastern seaboard by mid to late week. It looks it could impact the Carolinas and Virginia by late week. 

Florence looks like it will stay north of Florida, but we will have indirect impacts from Florence in the form of rough seas and dangerous rip currents. 

Helene developed just off the African Coast Friday night. This storm is expected to strengthen into a hurricane over the next few days and it will likely curve to the north into the open waters of the Atlantic. 

Isaac is in the eastern Atlantic and as it gets closer to the Lesser Antilles, it is expected to strengthen into eventually a hurricane as it nears the Caribbean. This system will have to monitored closely.

The surf and boating forecast for today: 

Boaters should expect fair conditions, with seas 3-4 feet and winds 5-10 knots. Surfers will have poor-to-fair conditions Sunday, with an east-southeasterly swell. The rip current threat will likely remain high for Sunday.
