Orlando, Florida – Daily rounds of thunderstorms are set to disrupt outdoor plans across the Orlando area through Tuesday, with the heaviest rain and greatest flood risk expected from Saturday afternoon into Sunday night. Drivers and residents should be prepared for wet roads, possible flash flooding, and delays, especially during the evening commute and around theme park corridors.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms are likely each afternoon and evening, with rain chances topping 90% at times. Northeast and east winds up to 10 mph may not be enough to clear clouds quickly, and rainfall could total over an inch in some neighborhoods. Saturday and Sunday look to be the most unsettled, with strong downpours and frequent lightning possible.
Travelers on I-4 and near Orlando International Airport should watch for rapid changes in visibility. Local events, outdoor dining, and park visits may need to shift to the morning hours, when conditions are calmer. If thunder roars, move indoors—lightning can strike miles from a storm. Avoid flooded roads and keep mobile devices charged in case of power interruptions.
This stormy pattern holds through at least Tuesday, with some improvement possible midweek. Stay alert for updated advisories, especially if planning travel or outdoor activities.
