ORLANDO, Fla. — It was a hot start to our work week with temperatures quickly climbing into the mid to low 90s Monday afternoon.

While storms were not widespread, there were a few that popped up and held heavy rain and gusty wind.

We have a typical Central Florida pattern the rest of the week with afternoon storms, temperatures in the 90s, and high humidity.

Skies will become partly cloudy as we head toward daybreak Tuesday with temperatures falling into the mid-70s.

A more typical summertime pattern returns the next several days as a ridge of high pressure overhead gives us a warm and hazy start to the day, then helps promote sea breeze showers and storms inland each afternoon.

Rain coverage bumps to 30-percent Tuesday, then 40-percent Wednesday and Thursday thanks to deeper atmospheric moisture returning. Lightning and minor flooding in slow moving storms will be our biggest threats.

The heat sticks around with highs generally in the low to a few mid-90s each day.

Beach and Surf Conditions

A minor trade swell sticks around the next couple days, with wave heights of one to two feet. This will promote very poor conditions for area surfers.

Enough of a long period swell exists to create a moderate risk of rip currents, so be sure to swim near an open lifeguard stand.

Tropical Update

In the tropics, Barry is now post-tropical, but still responsible for some flooding issues along the Mississippi River. No new development is expected elsewhere.

Atlantic hurricane reason runs through November 30.
