Thursday forecast for Orlando

What To Expect:

Low temperatures on Thursday morning will dip into the 60s across most of the region.

Thursday afternoon will bring a higher chance of showers and storms, with pockets of heavy rain possible, while beaches will continue to see rough surf and rip currents through the weekend. High temperatures will hover around the mid-80s.

Warmer, sunnier, and mostly dry weather is expected Friday and Saturday, with temperatures in the upper 80s inland, before higher shower and storm chances return Easter Sunday through Tuesday.

Beach forecast: Dangerous surf remains

If you are watching the launch from the sand, stay alert.

Rip Current Risk: A persistent onshore flow keeps the rip current threat high.

Wave Heights: Expect rough surf between 2–6 feet through the upcoming weekend. Swimming is not recommended.

Long-range: A hot weekend and a rainy Easter

Friday & Saturday: Conditions turn warmer and sunnier. High temperatures will soar into the upper 80s for inland areas, with only a slight chance of a stray shower near the I-75 corridor.

Easter Sunday & early next week: Rain chances return for the holiday. Easter Sunday and Monday will see afternoon storms, but Tuesday currently looks like the wettest day of the week, with the potential for several inches of widespread rain.

Mid-Next Week: Quieter, drier, and brighter weather is expected to return by Wednesday.
