Orlando, Florida – Thunderstorms rolling into Central Florida by midday Friday could drench Orlando just in time for lunch hour traffic on I-4 and beyond. Scattered downpours and lightning will stretch into the afternoon and evening, bringing a 60% chance of rain and locally heavy pockets that may slow travel and spark minor flooding.
According to the National Weather Service in Melbourne, storms are expected to develop after 11 a.m. Friday, with the greatest chance continuing into Friday night. Rainfall amounts could reach up to a quarter inch, especially in urban areas prone to pooling water. South winds around 9 mph may gust higher during thunderstorms.
