The widespread showers and thunderstorms we've been seeing the last couple of days should die down a BIT today - but there is enough moisture about to once again fire up scattered storms this afternoon.  That said, there is enough DRY air to inhibit much of the activity until you get considerably further south.

Expect highs to be in the upper 80s all weekend long.  Chance for afternoon thunderstorms increases just a bit as we get into Saturday and Sunday.

Not too exciting but hey at least I'm not talking about a potential tropical system this weekend like I thought I might have been earlier in the week :-)!  See - the glass is half full!

Highs will top out in the mid to upper 80s - and it looks like that trough will stick around to give us a chance for showers through the weekend.  Right now it looks like there is a slightly better day in store tomorrow with a little less coverage of storms.

Sorry for the brevity once again due to a sinkhole my internet is not where it should be.

The pattern looks to continue into tomorrow but we can expect a little more sunshine.  Thunderstorms can once again be expected sometime after noon though later afternoon looks more likely.

It looks like shower activity will diminish just a bit as we head into the weekend but the chance for thunder is still very possible.

Could the wet season be upon us :-)?

Most models are in agreement that today will be the wettest day of the week with thunderstorms at some point during the day likely.  Plan on waking up to mostly cloudy skies and then soon after noon expect some showers to start – though I wouldn’t rule out that precipitation getting here sooner rather than later.

Highs are forecasted to make it into the mid 80s but with all the clouds they may top out in the low 80s depending on those environmental factors.  Lows will barely drop into the 60s and then rebound again back up towards 90 thanks to the added sunshine that is expected for Wednesday.

Expect highs in the upper 80s for the rest of the week.

And just when you put the thought of tropical weather out of your mind the Eastern Pacific Tropical Season started a day early with the official naming of Tropical Storm Aletta.  The official start for the Eastern Pacific season is May 15th while the Atlantic Season officially starts June 1.

Towards the end of last week a few computer models even had the Atlantic Season firing up a bit early but later runs have backed off on that (which is good news because Florida looked to potentially be impacted).  Should something form now, it will likely head straight out to sea.

Tropical weather is something everyone should be aware of when planning a Disney vacation in the summer.  This is one of the most fascinating parts of meteorology and why I became involved in the first place so if you are looking for up to the minute tropical weather when it is relevant follow me on Twitter this season @WDW_Weather.

Similar conditions to what we’ve seen the last couple of days look to last right on through Monday with highs in the upper 80s to even 90.  The only difference is that as we go into the weekend it looks like we’ll have to pop up the chance for a pop up thundershower or two in the afternoon.  Does it feel like summer yet J?

Looking ahead to Sunday it does look like a frontal boundary may make things a little less stable in the atmosphere meaning that Sunday afternoon does look like the best bet for a stray shower or two.  I will update latest model runs on Twitter like I always do on weekends so if you are in the Central Florida area and want some updates follow me @WDW_Weather.

So … who’s going to be at Amway Arena tonight for the big Nickelback show  Anyone?  Have a  great weekend everyone – and Bottoms Up! (Speaking of how could I forget Happy Cinco friends - see ya in Epcot!)

It doesn’t look like there should be any widespread showers the next few days but with these warming temperatures and moist atmosphere as we head towards the weekend we have to tweak up the percentage for a shower or storm.  Lows will barely get into the 60s tomorrow morning.  Those winds are going to pick up again in the nighttime hours and could gust up towards about 20 miles per hour.

Mostly sunny skies continue tomorrow and it looks like it will be a great night for a show downtown!  So … who’s going to Nickelback tomorrow night J?

To give you an idea of where we are stacking up we managed to make it to 87 yesterday and the average high is roughly 85 – so we are doing a bit warmer than “normal”.  That said the record for yesterday was 96 and we hit that way back in 1917 so – I guess we’ve got a ways to go.  We won’t break any records today or tomorrow but it will likely be warmer as we head into the weekend.  In fact you can expect highs in the upper 80s through Sunday it looks like.

A few showers were rolling on shore yesterday afternoon around Melbourne and just kind of died out as they trekked too far inland to bother us though as you headed into South Florida you would have run into some shower activity on I-95.  Shower activity looks to pick up with the heat so afternoon showers are possible throughout the rest of the week. 

This is kind of a throw away ling but lows will only get down into the mid 60s and that’s about as low as they will get and those lows will actually raise as we head into the weekend.

So it goes without saying to make sure you and your family are hydrated this weekend at the parks as we flirt with 90.

Expect plenty of sunshine this morning into early afternoon at which point you can expect a few more clouds to build.  Today I’m not expecting any widespread shower activity but as we head past midweek – afternoon thunderstorms may become more common.  One thing that will be present today are some windy conditions – windy to the point that the Downtown Disney balloon may not be taking flight or there could be periods of delays.  Those winds will continue into tomorrow.

So expect highs in the mid 80s today and tomorrow and then they may creep into the upper 80s by Wednesday throughout the rest of the week depending on cloud cover.  Like I said once we hit Wednesday we are looking at about a 20 percent chance of showers all the way through the weekend.  Lows will barely be low and will only get down into the upper 60s through the end of the week.   Leave the light jacket at home kids – it might as well be summer here in Central Florida!  Enjoy!
