ORLANDO, Fla. – A cold front will be moving across central Florida Tuesday afternoon before clearing out by Tuesday evening. The greatest chance for rain will be along the coast (30-50%) with low chances inland west of I-95 (15-30%).
A slim swath of dry air will filter in across Florida later in the day Tuesday and Wednesday with a few peeks of sunshine and highs in the mid to low 70s.
The chance of rain returns early Thursday morning as a strong cold front approaches from east Central Florida with rain chances ranging from 50% north of Orlando to 30% further south. Temperatures by Thursday will begin to cool into the upper 60s with lows in the low 50s by Thursday night.

The coldest air of the season will arrive by Friday with highs in the upper 50s north of Orlando to low 60s south under mostly sunny skies! 2023 looks to end on a very cold note as a reinforcing cold front pushes through Saturday.
The coldest temperatures will be into Friday and Saturday night with lows forecast to range from the upper 30s across northern locations and in the low 40s southward. However, a brisk northwest breeze will make it feel even colder with wind chill values in the 30s across much of the area.
Freezing temperatures remain out of the forecast at this time with this cold snap, but still can’t rule out the potential for isolated areas — normally colder spots could reach near the freezing mark into Saturday night.
As we ring in 2024, high pressure will keep the area mostly dry with another front approaching Monday. Highs by New Year’s Eve will be in the low to mid-60s. As the clock strikes midnight lows will dip into the upper 30s to low 40s!
