THIS WEEK
The high pressure that’s been hanging over the Deep South will stick around through Friday, keeping Central Florida dry and cool. Even though the skies will finally clear up on Friday, the cool temperatures will stick around, with highs struggling to reach 70 degrees.
Looks like Thursday night into Friday morning will be the coldest night of the week, with temperatures in the 40s and wind chills in the upper 30s to low 40s.
WEEKEND
Things start to get more active this weekend as a warm front moves through ahead of a wetter low-pressure system. This system will bring a cold front through early Sunday increasing rain chances (30-60%) across the area.
Rain looks to arrive north of I-4 on Saturday and then spreading south into early Sunday morning. As of now, instability remains low, which will keep thunderstorm chances out of the forecast.
Along with it being a wetter weekend, it will also be warmer! Highs are expected to jump into the mid 70s to low 80 Saturday. On Sunday, highs will be in the 70s for most places.
NEXT WEEK
Next week looks to stay active with showers continuing, though it’s still uncertain exactly how much rain we’ll get. Onshore flow will likely bring breezy conditions along the coast and temperatures should remain cool, but closer to normal than we’ve seen lately.
