ORLANDO, Fla. – It is Solar Eclipse Monday!
Even though Central Florida will only be able to view it partially, 65% coverage of the sun is still worth looking up for.
Luckily, the forecast for those wanting to participate in viewing it from Central Florida will have a good chance to see it.
We will be tracking subtropical moisture increasing from the Gulf, which could bring occasional high clouds streaming east across the area, filtering out the sun slightly. At the same time, some scattered cumulus clouds will be possible as temperatures warm to near 80 degrees.
Meteorologist Jonathan Kegges, host of Weather Wise, will be livestreaming during the entirety of the solar eclipse, starting at 1 p.m. on ClickOrlando.com and News6+.
For Tuesday and Wednesday, expect temperatures in Orlando to climb quickly to near 90 degrees as the winds veer more southerly at 10-15 mph.
A spring front will approach Central Florida by Thursday afternoon. Winds veer southwesterly ahead of the front Thursday, with sustained winds up to 20 mph and gusts 25-35 mph. Along the boundary, rain chances will increase to 60-70%.
Once the front clears, temperatures will cool back to normal -- in the low 80s -- under mostly sunny skies through the weekend.
