According to the Orlando Sentinel, the bands of the storm that make it inland to Orlando today are expected to reach wind speeds of 25-30 miles per hour during the day and could increase as the storm gets closer on Sunday night.

Orlando is also expected to receive two to four inches of rain on Sunday and officials have warned residents not to be cavalier, as the tropical-storm-force winds still present a serious danger.
