Weather Forecast: Dec. 6, 2022

Orlando and Central Florida will experience mostly dry conditions and pleasant temperatures over the next few days. There are dangerous rip currents prevalent along the Atlantic Coast due to a tropical system that is not expected to have a direct impact on Florida.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Tonight's low: 61 degrees | Tomorrow's high: 81 degrees | Rain: Dry

Main weather concerns: Mostly sunny and pleasant weather. Expect dry skies, and if you head to the beach, rip currents will be an issue as favorable tides and increasing ocean swell work in tandem increasing the risk.

BEACHES: The high rip current risk continues today all along our coastline. Surf is in the 3-4' range as East-Northeast swell comes into the beaches. Rip current risk is high at all beaches. Temps beach side hit in the mid-upper 70s, water temps are near 70. Another increase in Northeast swell will occur by late week as an area of intensifying low pressure over the distant Atlantic sends wave energy into Central Florida beaches.

THEME PARKS:
Great weather is expected at the theme parks today. Highs will be in the upper-70s to near 80 with mostly sunny skies. Make sure to apply a good quality sunscreen as a sunburn is possible today.

OUTLOOK:
No major changes extending through this week. High pressure will remain overhead which means more tranquil weather and plenty of sunshine. Highs will continue to be a bit above average in the upper 70s to low 80s. 

Next best chance for some rain appears to be next Monday or Tuesday as front draws closer during that time. 

In the tropics, a non-tropical low located approximately 750 miles East of the Windward Islands will meander about the open Central Atlantic. 

This feature stands a 50% chance of developing into a subtropical storm, if so, the name will be OWEN. While Florida won't see wind from this low, increasing East swell will be the theme along the beaches today through the coming weekend. Beach erosion will be possible during times of high tide and rip current risk remains elevated in the "high" range.
