Sun May 04 09:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Central Florida to See Increased Rain Chances This Weekend

**Orlando, FL – May 2, 2025** – After a prolonged dry spell, Central Florida can expect a welcome increase in rainfall over the coming days, according to Chief Meteorologist Candace Campos of News 6.

A weak front approaching the region will bring a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms today, mainly affecting inland areas. Highs will reach the mid-80s along the coast and upper 80s inland.

The chance of showers and storms will increase to 20-30% on Saturday, primarily due to the sea breeze. While not a washout, any storms could bring brief heavy rain and gusty winds. Temperatures will remain warm, reaching the upper 80s to near 90 inland.

Sunday is predicted to be the most active day, with increased moisture and stronger sea breezes boosting the chance of scattered storms, especially east of I-95. Some storms could be strong, with heavy rain, frequent lightning, and strong wind gusts. Rainfall totals could reach 1-2 inches in some locations.

Showers and storms are also expected to continue into Monday due to a lingering front and active sea breezes. By Tuesday, the region should begin to dry out again, though the duration of the drier period remains uncertain. Temperatures will stay warm throughout the week, generally in the mid-to-upper 80s.
