Orlando weather: Cool front headed towards Florida

Big pattern changes this week with the first fall front of the season on the way in time for the weekend. Major drop in humidity and heat this Saturday and Sunday – setting up to be one of the nicer weekends in a while.

Rain forecast: Afternoon showers, storms possible

A handful of showers and storms are expected Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, primary between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. The atmosphere does not have a lot of instability in it, so these storms and showers will not be severe.

Fall weather on tap as cool front moves in

It will start to feel like fall across central Florida this weekend.

An uncommon late September Nor'easter off the Long Island coast will help push substantially drier and more comfy air into Florida. 

Timeline:

The cool front arrives Friday bringing an increase in winds with it – 15-25 mph winds. 

Saturday and Sunday, we're expecting sunny skies, a nice breeze, low humidity, and cooler temperatures. Sunday morning, some places north of Orlando could wake up to temperatures in the 50s.

Goodbye, Fay. Odds increase for disturbance

Tropical Storm Fay downgraded to a depression and eventually dissipated in the Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center is now tracking a tropical wave off the coast of Africa.

On Tuesday, the NHC increased development odds to 40%. It could briefly become a tropical depression or storm near the Cabo Islands later this week. However, no impact on anyone or anything expected.
