ORLANDO, Fla. – A weakening frontal boundary is making its way through Central Florida on Thursday morning and is expected to stall out just south of Central Florida.
The passage of the front will produce cloudy skies and a quick wind shift out of the northeast through the day. It will be a breezy afternoon, with winds at 15-20 mph and gusts up to 35 mph.

Northern neighborhoods will cool into the mid-70s, while areas south of Orlando will stay a bit warmer due to the front stalling overhead. The combination of increased onshore flow and lingering moisture will support isolated to scattered showers pushing onshore from the Atlantic, with the focus being on north Brevard and Volusia counties and a handful making it further inland.
Winds will continue to shift Saturday out of the southwest, delivering moisture back into Central Florida. Plenty of clouds are to be expected with a higher coverage for rain the further north you are.
Rain chances Saturday will be about 20-30% for southern half, but 40-60% from Orlando northward. The severe weather threat remains very low, but we can’t rule out the chance for a few isolated storms.
The unsettled weather pattern looks to continue through next week as the front remains nearby. Rain chances from Sunday into Tuesday will hold at 40-50%.
Even with the added clouds and rain in the forecast, highs are expected to remain above average -- near 80 degrees -- with lows in the low to mid-60s.
