The Brief

    • Mainly clear skies are on tap with temperatures dropping into the low 70s on Friday night in the Central Florida area. 
    • We are looking at hot and intense conditions all weekend long.
    • After some drought relief from all the rain last week, the dry conditions prevail as we progress through the upcoming workweek. 

ORLANDO, Fla. - Mainly clear skies are on tap with temperatures dropping into the low 70s on Friday night in the Central Florida area. 

What will the weather look like today?

What to expect:

Tonight, the skies will remain mainly clear.

Temperatures are expected to drop drastically from the 90s we have been experiencing throughout the day to the low 70s at night.

However, the heat will make an aggressive return for the weekend. 

What will the weather look like this weekend?

What's next:

If you thought the end of the week was hot, get ready for the weekend. In fact, we'll likely be challenging some heat records.

We are looking at intense conditions all weekend long.

Afternoon readings top out in the upper 90s with heat index values feeling like triple digits.  

The UV index will be at an 11, so hydration and all the sun protection is a must for the next five days. 

However, we will get some relief during the night. The lows will dip back into the lower 70s, along with just a few clouds, on both Saturday and Sunday.

What will the weather look like next week?

Dig deeper:

After some drought relief from all the rain last week, the dry conditions prevail as we progress through the upcoming workweek. 

This dry stretch for most of the week will dry us back out and is the reason why some burn bans are still in place. 

Temperatures will stay in the upper 90s from Monday through Wednesday of next week. 

The heat, combined with plenty of sunshine, will easily make it feel like triple digits, so be sure you remember your sunscreen and hat.

Looking even further ahead, a cold front will push through, giving our next chance for rain and storms on Thursday.
