Visitors with Walt Disney World plans this week could encounter repeated afternoon and evening rain and thunderstorms as a stalled cold front brings deep tropical moisture into Central Florida.
According to WFTV 9, scattered activity was expected to lessen overnight before rain and storm chances increase beginning Monday. Forecast highs are expected to reach the upper 80s Monday, then remain in the mid-80s Tuesday through late week as additional moisture brings periods of rain and storms. Heavy rainfall is possible, the station reported.
The forecast calls for the greatest likelihood of storms in the afternoons, with activity potentially continuing into the evening. Drier air could arrive by next weekend, although rain and storm chances are not expected to vanish entirely.
For Disney World guests, thunderstorms can affect outdoor attractions when lightning is present, while indoor rides and shows remain options during wet periods. Travelers considering changes to their plans may want to review the terms of their reservations and any travel insurance before making a decision.
