FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Noah Bergren has the latest on how long our warm weather stretch will continue.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A few passing clouds are expected this evening and overnight, with patchy fog developing in some areas, forecasters said. 

Fog is common this time of year and can vary nightly depending on temperatures and light wind conditions.

Warm weather continues

What To Expect:

Temperatures will drop into the upper 50s and low 60s for most of the region on Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. 

An unusually warm stretch of weather will continue through Saturday, with highs reaching the 80s. Friday and Saturday are expected to be the warmest days, with afternoon temperatures in the 80 to 84 degree range away from the beaches, a level of warmth more typical of April.

Patchy fog may continue to form during the overnight and early morning hours over the next several nights.

Temperatures through the weekend will remain unseasonably warm. 

High temperatures will be around 10 degrees above average, nearing the mid 80s by Saturday. Mostly dry conditions continue as well until Sunday afternoon/evening. 

Another front moving in

Looking Ahead:

A cold front is expected to move through Florida around midday Sunday. Forecasters said the front will bring increased cloud cover, a few sprinkles and a sharp drop in temperatures, with northwest winds strengthening later in the day.

Early next week, highs are expected to fall into the 60s to near 70 degrees, accompanied by gusty winds behind the front.

Forecasters are also monitoring the potential for a more organized weather system around Jan. 14–15, though details remain uncertain. There is a growing chance for rain by Wednesday and Thursday of next week, with forecasts expected to be refined closer to the time.

Overall, the second half of January is expected to trend much cooler, with multiple cold fronts moving through the region, signaling that winter conditions are far from over.
