Another soggy day is ahead for Central Florida, with periods of heavy rain expected and the potential for a few stronger thunderstorms later Monday afternoon and evening.A cold front moving through the Big Bend region will push additional moisture into Central Florida on Monday, helping to fuel multiple rounds of rainfall throughout the day.The first round of rain will develop Monday morning, bringing scattered showers, but no thunderstorms are expected during this initial wave.The greater concern arrives later this afternoon into the early evening, when a second round of rain is expected to develop.
