A low-pressure area may form off the Georgia and Carolina coast later this week, potentially steering north and away from Florida. 

As the local area experiences a wetter rain pattern this week, the tropics remain active with Storm Dexter moving away in the north Atlantic and another area potentially threatening the Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina coast by late this week.

We are monitoring a significant disturbance off the northeastern coast of Florida.

Overall, rain coverage is still pretty high at 60%, with a hot 92 degree before the rain begins in Orlando.

Central Florida will experience a drier pattern this weekend due to slightly lower moisture levels in the atmosphere, resulting in fewer afternoon downpours.

A large area of dry, dusty air is currently overhead, bringing us hazy sunshine mixed with clouds this afternoon.

All of central Florida has a risk for strong to severe storms, with the greatest risk in northern areas.

Our next storm system is developing over the Deep South and will move into our area by Wednesday afternoon.
