Orlando weather: Temps noticeably cooler but a warm-up is on the horizon

ORLANDO, Fla. - High pressure will remain in firm control of our weekend forecast. That means expecting a lot of sunshine and fair weather here in Central Florida! 

The mornings will be cooler, with lows in the 50s for most, but with dry air in place, we'll warm up nicely into the afternoons. Saturday and Sunday, highs will range from the upper 70s to the mid-80s.

BEACH FORECAST: Warmer weather will make for a more welcoming forecast for our Atlantic beaches. With more of a southeast wind, highs will reach into the mid-70s Saturday to low 80s Sunday. Rough surf will make for a higher rip current risk this weekend, so swimming is not recommended.

THEME PARK FORECAST: The parks' forecast this weekend is hard to beat. Highs will reach the low 80s on both days, with ample sunshine and humidity kept in check. No rain is expected.

LOOKING AHEAD: April begins on Monday and will be a hot start to the month! Plan for highs near 90° on Tuesday afternoon. With high pressure still under control, it will also be a dry stretch, with plenty of sunshine through Tuesday. 

Our next system arrives on Wednesday, bringing scattered showers and a few storms to the region.  It's still early, but we'll keep an eye on the chance of an isolated strong storm. Stay tuned for more in the coming days as the FOX 35 Storm Team provides updates regarding this system.
