ORLANDO, Fla. — The threat of heavy rain continues across Central Florida on Monday as a cold front begins to stall over the area.
While the front is expected to bring periods of heavy rainfall, temperatures will remain warm for now.
Most of Central Florida will reach afternoon highs in the upper 80s Monday afternoon.
Temperatures will become slightly cooler beginning Tuesday, with highs in the mid-80s expected through the rest of the week.
The biggest concern, however, will be the amount of rain.
Between Monday and Friday, some locations could pick up 3 to 6 inches of rainfall, increasing the potential for flooding in areas that receive repeated rounds of heavy rain.
Along the Atlantic coast, strong winds will also be a concern. Sustained winds of 20 to 25 mph are expected, with gusts reaching up to 40 mph at times.
