Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. – A large ridge of high pressure will continue to dominate across Florida and the Bahamas, bringing back a return windflow off the ocean.

Temperatures through the day in Central Florida will max out in the mid- to low 80s, under mostly sunny skies.

Into the evening, we will see another round of patchy fog, with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Our current weather pattern will begin to transition a bit as we head into the weekend as a weak cool front approaches Florida.

Ahead of the front on Friday, there’s a slight chance of showers by the afternoon and lingering through Saturday.

Temperatures will remain well above normal, with afternoon highs in the mid- to upper 80s on Friday, which will be close to record territory.

Friday highs vs. records

Orlando: 87 (Record 90 - 1895)

Sanford: 86 (Record 88 - 2015)

Daytona Beach: 82 (Record 86 - 2002)

Melbourne: 84  (Record 91 - 1979)

The weakening cold front drops into Central Florida on Sunday and stalls for a bit through Monday.

Models start to disagree at this point with how quickly the front clears out. As of now, we are expecting temperatures to remain below average -- in the upper 70s -- starting Monday, with breezy conditions sticking around into Wednesday.

With 21 days left of hurricane season, there’s no new tropical development expected within the next seven days.
