Inland areas across central Florida can expect daily showers and thunderstorms through the weekend, while coastal communities west of I-75 will see much less rain.
Weather patterns have shifted to a west-southwest flow, steering most storms toward inland counties, including eastern Hillsborough, Polk, Highlands, Hardee, and DeSoto. Temperatures will hover in the low 90s, with dew points in the mid-70s keeping humidity high.
Parks in Orlando and other inland destinations will face late-day storms, while beaches may only get scattered morning showers. Forecast models suggest this pattern will continue into early next week, with a slight chance of drier air arriving by midweek. In the tropics, no systems are expected to develop soon, though moisture from the Pacific may bring a small boost to rain chances.
