Orlando weather: Warm days ahead before cooler air returns to Florida

Orlando PM Weather Forecast: January 5, 2025

Another warm day is on the docket for Tuesday! Meteorologist Noah Bergren has how high the thermometer rises before our next cold front swings through. 

ORLANDO, Fla. - Highs are expected to climb into the low to mid-80s by the weekend, with Saturday shaping up as the warmest day.

Forecasters say temperatures Saturday afternoon could reach 83 to 85 degrees in some inland areas, while beaches remain slightly cooler. Winds are expected to be light, with a gentle southerly breeze.

Monday night's forecast

A few passing clouds are expected this evening and overnight, with patchy dense fog possibly developing again across parts of Florida. Overnight temperatures are forecast to fall into the 50s statewide.

Looking ahead, a steady warming trend will bring above-average temperatures through the end of the week.  

Patchy fog may continue during the overnight hours over the next several nights, a common occurrence this time of year as humidity increases and winds remain light.

Dry and unseasonably warm

With high pressure overhead, a dry and unseasonably warm week is on the way. 

Temperatures will soar into the low 80s just about every single day this week. Mostly dry conditions will prevail this week, allowing for partly to mostly sunny skies. 

A break in the warm pattern doesn't appear to arrive until closer to this weekend and into early next week. It's growing increasingly likely that next week will feature another round of weather whiplash. 

High temperatures next week look to struggle to make it out of the 60s. Stay tuned.

When will cool days return?

Looking Ahead:

A cold front is expected to move through the state on Sunday, Jan. 11, bringing increased cloud cover and a noticeable drop in temperatures. Little to no rain or thunderstorm activity is anticipated with the front.

Behind the front, highs are expected to settle into the 60s early next week under mostly sunny skies. No significant rain is forecast over the next 7 to 10 days, though forecasters note a distant chance for a weather system around Jan. 15 or 16. 

Overall, the second half of January is expected to be cooler across Florida and much of the eastern United States.
