Orlando and Central Florida will continue to see the chance for severe weather throughout the evening and into Saturday. Heavy rain and localized flooding are a concern.

Central Floridians and visitors alike can expect typical late August weather this week.

High doses of heat and humidity are in the cards. Most interior locations can count on 90°+ during the afternoon heat peak, coastal locations will reside in the 80s. 

The heat index, while lower overall, will remain around 100° – something to consider if you've got plans outdoors for an extended period of time.
