Overview

  • Rain and thunderstorms become more likely Sunday as a weak disturbance moves into the region, according to NWS Melbourne.
  • Isolated strong storms are possible Sunday with coin-sized hail and wind gusts of 40–50 mph, though the risk is relatively low.
  • Most areas are forecast to receive 0.5–1.25 inches of rain with localized pockets of 2–4 inches, and widespread flooding is not expected.
  • A strong cold front late Monday or very early Tuesday should drop highs from the mid-80s Monday to the low 60s to low 70s Tuesday, with lows falling into the low to mid-40s northwest of Orlando Tuesday night.
  • Disney parks may temporarily suspend outdoor attractions for lightning or strong winds, flights into Orlando could see delays, and temperatures are expected to rebound by midweek.
