A weak cool front has moved across much of east-central Florida, and
is currently located between Vero Beach and Ft. Pierce. This front
will help produce isolated to scattered showers and lightning storms
this afternoon. Rain chances are around 30 percent from Vero Beach
south to Jupiter. The main threat with any storm that develops will
be occasional lightning strikes and gusty winds. Afternoon
temperatures along the Treasure Coast towards the Lake Okeechobee
region reach the low to mid 80s.
Elsewhere, it will be dry behind the front with temperatures in the
upper 70s to 80 degrees. However, expect cloud cover to persist for
most of the day before clearing from north to south late this
afternoon into tonight.
Scattered showers will continue to move east to northeast across
east central Florida through late evening, mainly south of Orlando,
ahead of a weak cold front moving into the area. Isolated storms
will also be possible ahead of this boundary, especially over the
coastal waters.
Mostly cloudy skies will generally prevail as the front moves
through central Florida overnight. It will become cooler behind this
boundary, mainly from Osceola and northern Brevard counties
northward through Lake and Volusia counties where lows will fall to
the mid to upper 60s. Farther south, minimum temperatures are
forecast in the low to mid 70s.
Through early tonight, showers and a few storms wil move northeast
at 15 to 20 mph across the I-4 corridor to Lake and Volusia counties
ahead of an approaching frontal boundary. Additional scattered
patches of rainfall will affect Osceola county to the Space Coast
with brief moderate to heavy showers, and perhaps a rumble of
thunder. Affected areas may see a quarter to half an inch of
rainfall through 9 PM.
