Orlando, Florida – Thunderstorms could sweep into Orlando Sunday afternoon, disrupting outdoor plans and slowing traffic on major routes like I-4.
According to the National Weather Service, a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected after 2 p.m. Sunday across the Orlando metro area. Skies will remain mostly sunny early in the day, but increasing moisture and instability will raise the chance of scattered storms by mid-afternoon. Winds from the southwest at 5 to 10 mph could push storms toward central Orange County, especially during peak travel hours.
Drivers should stay weather-aware, especially near tourist corridors and heavily trafficked roads like I-4 and Colonial Drive. Lightning, gusty winds, and brief downpours could make travel hazardous between 2 and 6 p.m. Sunday. Boaters and park-goers are also advised to monitor skies and seek shelter at the first sign of thunder.
By Monday, rain chances increase to 50 percent with thunderstorms again likely after 2 p.m. The pattern holds into Tuesday, when 60 percent rain chances bring a greater likelihood of widespread showers and embedded storms into the evening hours. Tuesday night will remain soggy, with scattered thunderstorms and overnight lows near 75°F.
Stay alert through midweek, as daily rain and thunder threats will keep outdoor activities uncertain across central Florida.
