Passing storms to make for wet Saturday afternoon ahead of Sunday downpours

An area of disturbed weather in the Bahamas will bring big changes to the weekend weather in Central Florida.

"We're monitoring a weak and disorganized tropical disturbance heading toward Florida, but I'm not expecting any tropical development. We are however increasing our rain chances this weekend, with the heaviest rain likely on Sunday," said chief meteorologist Tom Terry.

"We’ll starting seeing some passing downpours Saturday afternoon, with a higher likelihood of rain and a few storms on Sunday afternoon as our weak tropical disturbance gets picked up by a front and moves to our south and away by Monday," added Terry.

INLINE

As a cold front interacts with the tropical moisture, Central Florida will see at least a 60 percent chance of showers and storms on Sunday.

Heavy rainfall is also likely. Some parts of Central Florida could see more than 2 inches of rain by Sunday night.

Good news is that the upper level low has no chance of development.

Better news: could dent the drought! https://t.co/0saleOWohp pic.twitter.com/JuftH3Y1Cz
