Front slides through Central Florida. Here’s how Easter weekend is shaping up

Orlando to reach high in mid-70s on Friday

ORLANDO, Fla. – A spring cold front sliding through Central Florida on Thursday will continue to bring clouds and scattered showers through the first half of the day. Although most of the rain will be light, we can’t rule out the chance for an isolated thunderstorm.

Drier conditions and clearing skies will rapidly build once the front clears by the lunch-time hour.

In the wake of the front, breezy conditions are expected to develop as winds pick up out of the northwest between 15-25 mph.

Cooler conditions will settle in by Friday morning, with lows falling into the low to mid-50s.

Highs on Friday afternoon will remain below normal, in the mid- to upper 70s.

Into Easter weekend, high pressure will maintain control across the state, keeping conditions mostly dry, with temperatures moderating back into the low 80s.

A quick warmup is expected by early next week, as highs soar to near 90 degrees as early as Tuesday.
