ORLANDO, Fla. - Big changes! Fall air is rushing in now into central Florida and will be with us all weekend. Things will heat back up fast next week into the 90s with heat index up to 105 by the end of next week.
Cooler fall-like temperatures in Orlando this weekend
What to expect:
The Nor-Easter hitting the northeastern part of the United States will bring in much cooler, fall-like temperatures into Central Florida this weekend.
How much cooler will it be?
We're expecting clear, sunny skies on Saturday and zero chances of rain. On Sunday, mostly sunny and clear skies, though there could be a few passing clouds. No chances of rain Sunday either.
We're tracking morning lows in Orlando into the 60s Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Sunday is expected to be the coolest morning with at 62 degrees. Those north of Orlando could wake up to morning temperatures in the 50s.
Average temperature at this time of year: 72 degrees.
Potential records
Sunday's 62-degree morning low in Orlando will be close to the daily low record for September 27, which was 56 degrees set in 1956. If we hit 63 or lower, it will tie for the second-lowest temperature ever on Sept. 27 since 1892 in the Orlando area.
Summer-like temperatures back next week
A dome of high pressure in the jet stream will develop next week and park itself over Florida later in the week, causing temperatures to rise back into the low 90s. The heat index (feels like temperature) will be between 100 - 105.
Rain chances also return next week
Late next week, we're tracking an increase in daily rainfall and pop-up thunderstorms.
Tracking the tropics
There are two weak tropical storms in the Atlantic: Tropical Storm Fay, which reemerged this week, and Tropical Storm Gonzalo, which formed off the coast of Africa early Friday morning.
Tropical Storm Fay is expected to fall apart this weekend into a remnant low in the open Atlantic.
Tropica Storm Gonzalo may impact the Cabo Verde Islands, and is then expected to fall apart next week and it tracks away up the African coast.
The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season remains the quietest season on record – and there has been no hurricane so far. There have been seven short-lived tropical storms. None have impacted or threatened the U.S. or Florida.
