Orlando weather: Central Florida warms up with chance of rain late week

Orlando PM Weather Forecast: Temps on the climb, when could we hit 80?

After a few cold days, some changes are on the horizon. Meteorologist T.J. Springer says that we'll be feeling the 80s soon. Tune in to see when the warmth arrives and when our next cold front moves in. 

ORLANDO, Fla. - After a couple of starry and cold nights, we'll see and feel some changes overnight. Clouds start to increase and that as well as more of an onshore wind will make for a milder night. 

Clouds start to increase and that, as well as more of an onshore wind, will make for a milder night. 

Tonight's forecast

What To Expect:

Overnight looks to be in the upper 40s across the metro. Some of our NW locales like Gainesville will still slide back into the middle to upper 30s, so you'll still want that jacket. That's where we could see some patchy frost as well.

Wednesday's forecast

What To Expect:

Temperatures continue to moderate as we hit midweek. The change is it won't be as bright a day with that onshore flow. We'll see a bit more cloud cover with the wind coming in from the NE to the east. That'll usher in a bit more moisture across Central Florida, leading to more clouds. 

We'll call it a mix of clouds and sunshine for Wednesday, with afternoon readings topping out in the lower to middle 70s. Those numbers are essentially "normal" for this time of January. 

Clouds look to thicken up Wednesday night ahead of a weak disturbance that is moving our way. This will prevent temps from dropping as much, only falling into the middle and upper 50s.

Warming trend later this week

Looking Ahead:

The warming trend continues through the rest of the workweek despite this weak disturbance and associated front working in. There's also a weak boundary that looks to lift northward across Florida, essentially acting as a pseudo-warm front. This will help bring the potential for a few showers from Thursday into Friday. 

We're not expecting much rain, with the bigger story being the temperature climb. Highs on Friday look to get back into the upper 70s and lower 80s. 

Warm, possibly rainy weekend

By this weekend, highs are in the 80s! It looks drier Sunday along with a mix of clouds and sunshine. 

Another storm system and associated cold front looks to move on Sunday into Monday with a few showers possible. Depending on the exact timing of the front will determine our temps, but it's looking like we'll be able to climb back into the upper 70s ahead of the front Sunday afternoon. 

The front then looks to swing in on Monday with the chance for showers rising to 30%. Behind it, temps dip back into the upper 60s with a couple showers still possible on Tuesday.
