Orlando, Florida – Sunshine returns to Central Florida through midweek, but drivers and outdoor plans along I-4 could be disrupted by storms this weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Melbourne, Orlando will enjoy sunny skies and highs in the mid-80s on Wednesday and Thursday. Expect a high near 85°F on Wednesday and 86°F Thursday, with light easterly winds providing a brief calm before the next system builds.
But changes are brewing. By Friday night into Saturday, moisture and instability increase, bringing a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms by Saturday afternoon. Highs could reach 90°F, and humid air will push real-feel temperatures even higher. Thunderstorm chances persist into Saturday night and Sunday, especially between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., when isolated downpours may impact weekend plans.
Travelers on I-4 and other Orlando-area roads should watch for slick conditions and possible visibility drops. Lightning risk may also rise during peak storm hours. Prepare now: delay non-essential driving during heavy rain periods and have backup power options for outdoor events.
The storms taper slightly by Monday, but another 40% chance of showers remains, with highs staying near 85°F.
