Orlando AM Weather Forecast: Central Florida heating up by midweek

After slightly cooler temperatures Monday, Central Florida will start heating up, reaching the 90s by the middle of the week. FOX 35 Storm Team meteorologist Brooks Garner takes a look at the forecast. 

It's another cool and comfortable morning in Central Florida as temperatures are in the 50s and 60s for most as you make your way out the door.

A light jacket or sweatshirt might be needed for some, just for this morning. 

Afternoon highs will reach the low and middle 80s, which is what's considered to be normal for this time of year. It will be a dry day as well, with a mix of sunshine and clouds overhead.
