Orlando, Florida – Storm clouds are building over Central Florida, with Orlando set for a wet and stormy Tuesday that could impact commutes along I-4 and outdoor plans through much of the week.
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday brings a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms for Orlando, most likely between late morning and the evening. High temperatures will push toward 92°F, amplifying the humidity and raising the potential for heavy rainfall in isolated storms. Drivers along Interstate 4 should plan for reduced visibility and slick roads during peak afternoon hours.
Thunderstorms are expected to continue Tuesday night, with another 60% chance of rain and patchy clouds through the overnight period. Winds from the east-southeast may gust slightly but pose minimal threat.
Looking ahead, the storm pattern holds. Wednesday and Thursday each bring a 60% chance of thunderstorms—again concentrated in the afternoon to evening hours. Highs will stay near 91°F with scattered downpours and lightning possible each day. Rain remains in the forecast Thursday night as well, possibly disrupting evening plans.
Friday could bring a break in intensity, with only a slight chance of storms before 2 p.m., followed by a sunnier, hotter afternoon near 89°F. But don’t put the umbrella away just yet—another round of storms is possible late Friday night into Saturday.
