Plays that bring wet weather to Central Florida

Sunday was the start of a multi-day rain event as the setup becomes favorable for numerous showers and built-in storms for Central Florida.

A weak stationary front will still meander overhead and until Tuesday will be the main trigger mechanism for showers and storms. Long-range models show the peak rain cover moving in during the first half of the work week.

Rain chances starting Sunday will favor northern provinces earlier, with a greater risk of showers and storms further south along the Interstate 4 corridor until noon.

Rain chances vary considerably depending on where you live. For areas north of Orlando, the rain chances will be greatest with 70-80%. Areas around Orlando Orlando, your chances range between 50-60%. And the lowest risk of rain today is areas south of the Kissimmee-Titusville line, with your chances at 30-40%.

Along with scattered showers, we also expect a marginal risk for some strong to severe storms by noon.

The greatest dangers due to these storms are frequent lightning, penny growth and gusts up to 45-50 km / h. Under some heavier rain tires, we could see rain levels of more than 2 inches per hour. These dangers are likely to continue until Monday and Tuesday.

Areas to the north will warm up to the mid to low 80s, with a warmer peak for areas further south. With lows in the mid to upper 60s tonight.

As this continued front end remains in the area, some weak top disturbances will cross the region, increasing the lift, especially during the day and evening hours on Monday and Tuesday. Rain cover is likely to be best from Osceola / Brevard counties to the north, with exceptionally high rainfall chances of 80-90% both days.

Widespread heavy rain is becoming increasingly likely, with rainfall amounts up to 3-4 centimeters, with local totals close to 6 centimeters. Although a marginal threat to flooding will exist, drier soils should limit the threat.

During the next three days, make sure you have a specific weather program on hand and that you are weather-conscious in the city. The News 6 weather team keeps a close eye on the sky and sends warnings where necessary.

By Thursday, the front will be clean and usher in drier and slightly cooler air with the highs in the mid to upper 70s over the weekend.
