ORLANDO, Fla. - Central Florida will be warm and mostly clear heading into the weekend.
Light winds and clear skies are expected to allow another round of locally dense fog overnight, especially in northern areas.
Tonight's forecast
What To Expect:
High pressure is firmly in control of the Southeast, including Central Florida. Overnight lows look to dip back to near 60 degrees which is just a touch above average for this time of year.
The light wind and starry sky will make for another round of locally dense fog, especially to the north. If you're traveling late tonight or early Saturday, be sure you drive with caution and use those low-beam headlights.
Weekend weather
What To Expect:
Fog should start to lift mid-morning on Saturday as we start to mix up the low levels of the atmosphere, but be careful early on.
By the afternoon, we're seeing plenty of sunshine as this ridge of high pressure holds.
A WSW breeze drives our warm temps to kick off the weekend. Highs look to be in the lower to middle 80s, which is once again above normal for this time of November. Our average is now in the upper 70s (77°).
The potential for a bit of fog is on the table on Saturday night as well, thanks to the calm wind and mainly clear sky.
A cold front approaches the area on Sunday, but it doesn't move through with any fanfare. A stray sprinkle is possible, but most will stay dry. The other noticeable change from Saturday to Sunday will be a bit more cloud cover overhead. We don't really tap into a cooler air mass behind the boundary, but temps may drop just a degree or two.
What will the weather be like next week?
Looking Ahead:
A spotty sprinkle is possible Monday as this front pushes southward, but chances are slim. Another area of high pressure quickly builds into the middle of our holiday week, leading to more sunshine and warmth. High temps for our Tuesday and Thanksgiving Eve look to top out in the lower to middle 80s.
Thanksgiving forecast
Looking Ahead:
Our attention then turns to a cold front which is expected to arrive on Thanksgiving Day. This could bring a few showers, but chances aren't looking impressive at the moment.
The overall chance for rain is 20–30%, so there is not the highest confidence of anything particularly impactful happening.
Chillier air does look to sink in just in time for Black Friday shopping, with highs during the afternoon in the 60s to 70s. Lows will be cooler too, so be sure to grab a jacket. Overnight readings could be back into the 40s-50s into Saturday morning.
