AND WITH SO MANY EVENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING TODAY ON JUNETEENTH, A LOT OF THINGS OUTDOORS, THE WEATHER IS GOING TO PLAY A BIG PART. ITS IMPACT, WHETHER YOU\u2019RE CALLING FOR TODAY, TODAY IS GOING TO BE A ROUGH DAY. I MEAN, I\u2019M JUST I\u2019M NOT GOING TO SUGARCOAT THIS. LIKE YESTERDAY WAS GROSS. TODAY. GROSSER. OH YEAH. THOSE EVENTS IN THE LIBRARY LOOK REALLY NICE. I WOULD SAY THE AIR CONDITIONING, NOT A BAD IDEA. SO WE\u2019RE CALLING FOR IMPACT WEATHER FOR TWO DISTINCT REASONS. WILL BUILD ON THE HEAT. YESTERDAY OUR PEAK FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE IN ORLANDO WAS ABOUT 105. WE\u2019RE GOING TO 110 TODAY. AND THEN WE GET SHOWERS AND STORMS FIRING UP. BUT THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR SOME OF THOSE TO BE EVEN STRONGER. SO LET\u2019S PUT IT ALL TOGETHER ON THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST AND JUST KIND OF TAKE YOU THROUGH. ALL RIGHT. SO FOR TODAY, WE\u2019VE GOT THE STORMS, MORE STORMS TOMORROW FATHER\u2019S DAY FORECAST. LISTEN FOR OUR FATHER\u2019S THE PLAN IS ACTUALLY PRETTY NICE. WE START OFF WARM THROUGH THE DAY, FEELS LIKE SUMMER AND WE GET THOSE STORMS GOING. ABOUT A 50% COVERAGE OF RAIN THOUGH FOR FATHER\u2019S DAY. SO ALL IN. I ACTUALLY THINK THAT OUR SUNDAY DOESN\u2019T LOOK TO BE TOO BAD. SATURDAY NOTICE RAIN CHANCES ACTUALLY A BIT HIGHER. HERE\u2019S FUTURECAST FOR SATURDAY. STARTING OFF WITH A SPRINKLE OR TWO PERHAPS. OF COURSE. METEOROLOGIST VICTORIA WISNIEWSKI WILL BE TRACKING THINGS FOR YOU. NOTICE LUNCHTIME. A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN GETTING GOING AND THEN INTO THE AFTERNOON. TWO, THREE, 4:00. KIND OF A WIDER SPREAD COVERAGE OF RAINFALL. THAT\u2019S WHY WE\u2019VE GOT THAT 70% COVERAGE IN THERE. BUT FOR TODAY IT\u2019S IMPACT WEATHER, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY. HERE\u2019S LUNCHTIME ON FUTURECAST. WE\u2019RE FINE. THEN WE START TO SEE SOME RAIN DEVELOPING. TWO, THREE FOUR, 5:00 AND IT\u2019S THOSE BRIGHTER SHADES. THE PROBLEM IS THERE\u2019S A PIECE OF ENERGY UP TO THE NORTH COMING IN, AND THE MODELS ARE KIND OF STRUGGLING WITH HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HIGHLIGHTED ALL OF US AS HAVING A LEVEL ONE OUT OF FIVE RISK FOR ISOLATED, STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THAT. CALL. HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND GUSTY WINDS ARE GOING TO BE THE BIG CONCERN. SOME OF THOSE GUSTS COULD GO 5060 MILES AN HOUR, TRIGGERING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING. I THINK HAIL AND TORNADOES ARE GOING TO BE ON THE LOWER END OF THE SPECTRUM. BUT BEFORE THE STORMS DEVELOP, LOOK AT THESE. FEELS LIKE READINGS. BY 10 A.M. WE\u2019RE LOOKING AROUND 104 ALREADY, 109 BY NOON, AND 110 WILL BE OUR FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE THIS AFTERNOON. SERIOUS HEAT TODAY, MY FRIENDS. IF YOU\u2019RE HEADING TO THE BEACH SURF BREAKING 1 TO 2 WATER TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S, THAT IS NOT BAD AT ALL. NEW SMYRNA BEACH LOOKING PRETTY GOOD THIS MORNING. 77 THERE, 79 DEGREES IN ORLANDO, 80 DEGREES IN MELBOURNE. NOTHING SHOWING UP ON OUR LIVE RADAR, BUT OH, IS IT GOING TO BE HOT, LOW 90S FOR A FEW SPOTS. MOST OF US THOUGH IN THE MID 90S. IMPACT WEATHER BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. HUMIDITY FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES. AND YES, EVEN THE STORMS TOMORROW. HIGHER COVERAGE OF RAIN. THEN WE BRING IT DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT FOR OUR FATHER\u2019S DAY SU\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Impact Weather: Heat advisories in effect, strong storms possible in Central Florida<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/wesh.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WESH logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 6:37 AM EDT Jun 19, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wesh.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCentral Florida is under a heat advisory on Friday as dangerous heat index values combine with the threat of strong afternoon and evening storms.Humidity combined with temperatures climbing into the mid-90s will create dangerous heat index values, with &#8220;feels-like&#8221; temperatures expected to soar between 105 and 110 degrees during the afternoon.
