Orlando weather: Rain chances rising in Florida this weekend as drought and wildfire risks persist
Orlando Weather Forecast PM: April 30th, 2025
FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Noah Bergren is tracking rising rain chances heading into next week.
What will the weather look like tonight?
What to expect:
ORLANDO, Fla. - Mainly clear skies will continue through the rest of the evening. Temperatures will slowly cool down in the late evening with clear skies through the overnight.

Lows tonight will dip down into the upper 50s and low 60s. You may need a jacket to start off your Thursday.
What will the weather look like tomorrow?
Temperatures will continue to heat up for the rest of the workweek with a mix of sun and clouds.
Highs will be in the upper 80s and near 90 for the rest of the week.
Dry conditions will persist through the rest of the workweek as well.
What will the weather look like for the rest of the week?
Looking ahead:
We are looking for a big pattern change coming up this weekend that will really amp up our rain chances and hopefully combat the drought conditions. Sea breeze storms will pop up a few thundershowers Saturday afternoon.
Our next chance of widespread rain is on Sunday. A cold front will sweep moisture into the region, increasing clouds and rain chances Sunday afternoon, Sunday night and into the AM commute Monday morning.

This is good news because we desperately need the rain. However, especially with the sea breeze storms that pop up quickly, lightning is a factor that we need to consider. Any lightning strike if it hits the ground has the potential to spark a new fire. Just this one day of showers will not fix the current extreme drought conditions along the region. Burn bans are in place for nearly the entire region.
