Orlando weather: Drops in humidity, rain chances, temperature this week
Orlando Weather Forecast: Tracking first cool front
Our first cool front of the fall is on the way for this upcoming weekend with a big drop in humidity and temps. FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Noah Bergren is tracking the changes ahead.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Expect big changes in the weather pattern this week: less humidity, less rain, and cooler temperatures.
Tonight's forecast
What to expect:
There is a chance for some scattered showers and thunderstorms, primarily south of Orlando towards Lakeland and Tampa.
Tuesday & Wednesday: Scattered showers, thunderstorms
A handful of pop-up storms and showers will be around Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, and while nothing severe is expected, storms and showers will push to the south across central Florida. Some downpours, lightning, and locally gusty winds will occur between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Fall feel later in the week
It will start to feel more like fall and less like summer on Thursday, and into the weekend. Rain chances will drop dramatically Thursday, and nearly go to 0% by Saturday and Sunday.
A big cool front will arrive Saturday ushering in a big drop in humidity for Sunday. Waking up Sunday morning will feel like mid-late October in central Florida with low dew points and temps in the lower 60s for most areas.
New disturbance in the tropics
Tropical Storm Fay is gradually weakening in the Atlantic and is expected to become a post-tropical remnant low late Tuesday, and will eventually dissipate, eliminating its hurricane potential.
So far, there have been zero hurricanes during the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season – a record that continues to be broken each day, and six short-lived tropical storms.
The NHC has flagged a new area of interest off the coast of Africa, where a tropical wave is expected to form by Wednesday. As it moves near the Cabo Verde Islands, some development is possible. Odds currently sit at 20%.
