Orlando drivers and residents should prepare for the return of spring thunderstorms Monday, with a 40% chance of rain threatening evening commutes along I-4 and local roads. With afternoon highs soaring to 88°F, any outdoor activities or travel should be wrapped up by late afternoon as storms could spark sudden downpours and lightning.
According to the National Weather Service, a mix of sun and clouds kicks off the workweek, but rain and thunderstorms are likely after 2 p.m. Monday. The risk continues into Monday night, with partly cloudy skies and a low near 69°F. Residents should keep an eye on weather alerts and have alternate routes in mind, especially if storms slow traffic or cause hazardous driving on major routes like I-4. Remember to check your weather app for updates, avoid flooded roads, and secure outdoor items.
Tuesday brings a brief break with mostly sunny skies and a high near 83°F, though wind gusts could reach 20 mph. By Wednesday, expect a return to hot, sunny conditions with temperatures climbing back to 86°F—perfect for spring activities, but remember sun protection and hydration. The later half of the week holds mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 80s, with another round of rain possible by Saturday.
