Orlando, Florida. – Central Florida woke up to storms ahead of a cold front that will advance into South Florida, stall on Sunday and then rise north as a warm front on Monday.
Most areas saw rainfall totals of less than half an inch, but Orlando and Melbourne managed to get a little more than that.
Once the rain fell and the sun came out, high temperatures were above average for this time of year. Typically, high temperatures stay around 72 degrees.
Tonight and Sunday remain mainly dry. Models are calling for a few stray sprinkles of rain around 7-8 a.m., especially south of Orlando in Osceola and Brevard counties.
Highs remain in the mid to upper 60s with breezy northwest winds around 10-15 mph under partly sunny skies.
On Monday, there is a slight chance of a few showers, mostly light rain.

Our next threat of storms and widespread rain comes Tuesday before a stronger cold front is headed our way.
Before that cold front, there may be some storms that may become severe. It's still too early to focus on risks, but there could be a few storms capable of producing strong damaging winds of up to 50-60 mph as well as heavy rain and possibly small hail.
A few tornadoes cannot be ruled out, but of course as the front inches approach, the risks will be finely tuned along with the timing of the stormy weather.
