Most of Central Florida will bottom out in the 30s and 40s Sunday morning, under mainly clear skies. The continued breeze will help it feel cooler than it actually is outside.

Even with abundant sunshine Sunday afternoon, highs top out in the mid-60s. Average high temperatures this time of year are around 80 degrees.

A gradual warming trend returns next week.
