It will turn even warmer Friday under mostly sunny skies as temperatures surge into the mid-80s.

A strong cold front is poised to move through Central Florida on Saturday, increasing rain chances by the afternoon.

By Sunday, highs will struggle to climb out of the 50s in spots as a system develops along the cold front and slides off the east coast of Florida. That will keep clouds and rain chances around.
