Daytime highs are expected to climb into the upper 80s today with no rain in the forecast.
If you’re planning to view the partial eclipse today, it begins at 11:52 a.m., peaks at 1:26 p.m. and ends at 3:02 p.m.
Do not look directly at the sun and be sure to wear proper eye protection. The moon will cover about 65% of the sun during the height of the eclipse in Central Florida.
As we go through this evening, winds will begin to pick up as that cold front gets closer to the area. When that front exits, cooler and less humid air filters in and winds will be out of the northwest between 10-15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph.
Daytime highs are expected to climb into the lower 80s and upper 70s across Central Florida on Sunday. Beginning on Sunday, expect a stretch of nice fall-like weather lasting into next week.
