FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Jayme King has your forecast.
ORLANDO, Fla. - The heat is on Central Florida!
Seems like summer is knocking on the door and someone let it in! A sprawling cap of high pressure is dominating Central Florida weather through the coming weekend.
This means hot temps and low rain chances at 20% or less. Skies will feature loads of sunshine with a daily scattering of clouds as the Atlantic seabreeze gets active. The seabreeze could spark a few showers later this evening around Brevard County, coverage looks quite low.

Florida has long been known as the lightning capital of the U.S., but it may be giving up its title.
New weather data suggests that Oklahoma has taken the title.
Meteorologists at the Finland-based environmental monitoring company Vaisala found that Oklahoma had narrowly surpassed Florida for the most lightning flashes per square kilometer from 2016 to 2020. Lightning events per square kilometer that were recorded in the Sooner State totaled 83.4 during that period, while Florida saw a slightly lesser 82.8 lightning events, FOX News reports.
