An unsettled weather pattern continues for Central Florida, as a strong trough of low pressure aloft continues influencing the region.
Higher than normal rain chances, with several rounds of storms will be possible for the next couple of days.
Updates
4:59 p.m.
From the National Weather Service:
A large scale outflow boundary pushing southward from north Florida into Lake and Volusia Counties will enhance thunderstorm activity through the I-4 corridor through sunset. Scattered storms will move quickly toward the northeast around 25 to 30 mph and offshore of the Volusia and northern Brevard coastline. Strong storms will be likely, especially near the coast with the main threats being frequent cloud to ground lightning and gusts up to 40 to 50 mph. Additional strong storms will be possible farther south along the east coast of Florida as storms and outflow boundaries collide with the east coast sea breeze toward sunset.
4:15 p.m.
National Weather Service in Jacksonville reports power lines are down across A1A in Beverly Beach because of a lightning strike.
4 p.m.
Severe Thunderstorm warning for Northeast Flagler County until 4:15 p.m. The storm is capable of producing winds in excess of 60 mph. The storm is located near Bunnell, and is moving to the northeast at 30 mph. It will remain over mainly rural areas.

Tonight, expect lingering storms later into the evening. Eventually, storms will move offshore giving way to partly cloudy skies overnight. Low temperatures will be mild, in the low to mid 70s.
Tomorrow, a similar weather pattern stays in place. Scattered showers and storms are likely, with potentially more than one round of rain through the day. Intense storms are possible, with gusty winds and torrential rain. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s to lower 90s.
Through the rest of the week, Central Florida returns to a more seasonable pattern. Southwest steering winds continue, but storms will slow down and boundary collisions will be the main focus for stronger convection.
