Orlando weather: Cloudy, wet Black Friday ahead for Central Florida

Clouds will increase tonight, with showers possible around Gainesville overnight.

Black Friday brings a stronger chance of rain than initially expected, as updated forecasts show a cold front moving through the area. What was once predicted as a few scattered showers has developed into a high likelihood of widespread showers and possibly a thunderstorm or two during the day.

Expect a cloudy and wet Friday for much of the day, though it won’t rain continuously. Shoppers and outdoor planners should prepare for intermittent rain.

 Alot of clouds will linger on Saturday behind the cold front and there is a small chance on Saturday for a sprinkle. Sunday, skies will clear with mostly sunshine later in the day.

LOOKING AHEAD: A stretch of clear and sunny weather is expected Monday through Wednesday, but colder temperatures are on the way.

Tuesday, Dec. 3, has been designated a FOX 35 Weather Impact Day, with near-freezing temperatures possible in Marion and Alachua counties. Frost could also develop in parts of Sumter and Lake counties.

Conditions are expected to warm up by the end of the week, offering relief from the chilly start.
