Orlando weather: Pleasant, cooler weekend ahead for Central Florida

Skies are expected to clear across Central Florida overnight.

Cooler temperatures are developing inland while coastal areas remain milder.

Friday night's forecast

What to expect:

Winds turn calmer overnight. Temperatures will be cooler, however, as lows fall back into the low and mid 50s. 

A few isolated areas, especially northwest of Orlando, could see temperatures dip into the upper 40s.

Pleasant weekend ahead

What to expect:

This weekend will be a beautiful one. Temperatures will be comfortable, if not a bit on the warm side as highs reach the mid and upper 70s. We'll be nice and dry under mostly sunny skies through the weekend as well. 

Saturday will start cool inland but turn sunny and pleasant statewide. The weekend forecast calls for dry conditions, light winds and low humidity, with highs reaching the mid to upper 70s across the region.

Late Sunday into early Monday features a weak cold front that will push into the region. This could help to spark a few isolated showers and drop our temperatures down by a degree or two by Monday afternoon. 

Christmas week forecast

Looking Ahead:

That pattern is expected to continue into Christmas week, with temperatures remaining in the upper 70s and abundant sunshine. 

A few clouds and isolated light showers may develop Monday and Tuesday as easterly winds strengthen, mainly along the beaches and the Interstate 95 corridor. 

Forecasters said Christmas Eve and Christmas Day should be sunny and warm, making Christmas the warmest of the three major fall holidays in the Orlando area this year.
