The forecast for Friday, July 30:

After another scorcher in Central Florida Friday, we can expect much of the same Saturday.

A warm and muggy start to the day will lead to a very hot afternoon. Scattered showers and storms will have a later start, which will allow temperatures to climb back into the mid to upper 90s.

High humidity levels will allow for heat indices near 110 degrees. A Heat Advisory has been issued for Orange and Seminole Counties through the day.

A few storms that develop will become quite strong, with frequent lightning and gusty winds.

On Saturday night, expect storms to wind down after sunset. Temperatures will slowly cool off. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 70s.

On Sunday, expect much of the same.

Starting next week, slightly drier air is expected to move down the peninsula, lowering rain chances.

As for the tropics, there are a few waves we are watching. A wave in the Caribbean is disorganized, but has a slight chance of formation as it moves toward Central America in a few days. Another area near the Cape Verde Islands continues to show no development, but could become better organized in a few days.
