Orlando weather: Warm, mostly sunny across Central Florida through Christmas

After a cool start with temperatures in the 50s and 60s across Central Florida, we'll see a big rebound this afternoon. 

Highs will soar into the mid and upper 70s under a partly cloudy sky. Orlando will reach a high of 77°, which is well above our average high of 73°. 

By Monday night, clouds lingered – especially east of Orlando through the evening with a few passing rain showers or sprinkles possible. Gusty east winds will relax, but will still be going through the night.
