Central Florida’s Sunday Storms Shift to Earlier Start Times

Central Florida’s Sunday Storms Shift to Earlier Start Times: The onset of sporadic showers and thunderstorms in east-central Florida is expected to occur considerably earlier than a typical July day. Recent simulations suggest that radar turbulence will begin before sunrise and persist through the early morning and early afternoon.

The probability of precipitation on Tuesday is between 70 and 80%. In isolated locations, heavy precipitation is possible as showers and storms move throughout the morning. By lunchtime, Lake, Seminole, northern Orange, and Volusia counties could receive one to two inches of rain due to torrential downpours.

By early evening, conditions will be dry and the hazard will have moved into Brevard and Osceola counties in the south and east. During a storm, extreme precipitation, wind gusts of up to 40 mph, lightning, and minor flooding are all conceivable.

As clouds and rain continue to blanket the atmosphere, daytime highs will range from the upper 80s to around 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with heat indices reaching 100 degrees.

As the weak front that has kept us in a tempestuous pattern for several days begins to retreat, a stronger east coast sea wind will return. This establishes a pattern more typical of summer, with coverage returning to fifty percent.

Additionally, more Saharan dust will penetrate the upper atmosphere, which will be visible. A massive plume is expected to arrive later this week, which may enhance the hues of our weekend sunrises and sunsets.
