Orlando Weather Forecast: April 20, 2023

Orlando and Central Florida will see spotty rain developing on Friday afternoon into the evening.

Tonight's low: 64 degrees | Tomorrow's high: 84 degrees

Main weather concerns: Friday will bring a chance for spotty showers in the late afternoon as a result of the east and west sea breezes.  Showers are also possible later in the evening ahead of an approaching cold front.

BEACHES: The beaches see breezy easterly winds and sunny skies. UV index hangs near a 9 today, so slather on the sunscreen. The rip current risk remains moderate, especially after 12 pm. Surf is in the 2-3' range as a mix of ENE wind swells shuttles into the beaches.

THEME PARKS: Looks good at the attractions today. High near 84 for the afternoon hours, plenty of sun and pm breeze. Enjoy!

OUTLOOK: While this Thursday looks dry, things change a bit on Friday. Moisture will begin increasing Friday, this in combination with the Gulf and Atlantic sea breezes will fire up storms mainly after 2 pm on Friday. Chances are in the 30% range at this time with any rain fading by late evening. Saturday brings very warm highs near 90 degrees in advance of an approaching front. 

Rain chances with the front rise after 12 pm Saturday and hold through 6-7 pm Saturday evening. Could be a few isolated strong storms around during this time, chances are fairly low and around 30% Saturday. Cooler and drier behind the front Sunday. Looks like a wetter and potentially stormier trend next week as another front courses through midweek, stay tuned!
