A beautiful weekend is in store for those in Central Florida.
Skies will remain mostly clear as temperatures soar to near 90 degrees in many spots. At the beaches, highs will warm into the mid 80s, upper 80s inland, and into the low 90s along and near I-95 due to the sea breeze.

Early morning smoke in Seminole County
Those traveling along Interstate 4 in Seminole County early Friday morning should expect lingering smoke caused by a temperature inversion trapping air pollution near the surface. While meteorologists expect the smoke to dissipate by late morning, experts provide health and safety tips for high air pollution conditions.

Surf conditions
A moderate rip current risk is in place along the coast.

Looking ahead
For the weekend, we'll continue to heat things up – at least for Saturday. Highs will break into the low 90s for Saturday and upper 80s Sunday under partly to mostly sunny skies.
A dry cold front is moving through the region Sunday night, causing temperatures to drop about four degrees below normal. The temperature highs will range from the low 70s to 80, Garner predicted.
By Monday, a cold front will move in, bringing an end to the heat and sunshine, at least briefly. Rain chances will be slim, only at 20% so far for Monday with increasing clouds and gusty winds. Temperatures will be noticeably cooler as a result, as highs only reach the middle and upper 70s for the first half of next week.
