ORLANDO, Fla. - It's looking to be a beautiful week in Orlando ahead of Thanksgiving, though a cold front is expected to move in, which could increase the possibilities of a few showers later in the week.

Thanksgiving forecast: What to expect in Orlando

Thanks to that high pressure, temperatures are expected to be in the low-to-mid 80s Tuesday and Wednesday.

On Thursday, a cold front moves through, leading to mostly cloudy skies and a slight dip in temperatures. There is a chance for a few showers, though odds are not that impressive. We can expect Thanksgiving Day to be mostly cloudy in Orlando – going south. For people further north into Central Florida, they can expect more sun. 

Thanksgiving, Nov. 27 forecast. 

There's a 20% chance of a brief passing rain shower or sprinkle exists during the day with highs in the low to mid 70s.

On Thanksgiving night, conditions start to clear as temps tumble back into the 40s. You'll want to grab a jacket if you're heading out early to shop.

Headed out for Black Friday shopping? Here's the forecast

Even chillier air sinks in for Black Friday, with highs during the afternoon in the 60s. Overnight readings stay chilly Friday night, falling back into the 40s-50s. You'll still likely need to keep the sweatshirts handy. 

Temperatures will drop significantly on Friday, dipping into the low 60s and gusty NW winds reaching 15-25 MPH by afternoon. 

Chances for showers then increase slightly for the latter half of our holiday weekend. Sunday, another storm system moves our way with a warm front leading the charge. It looks to lift northward across the state, bringing the potential for a few showers. It's something we'll be monitoring as many start to travel back from the Thanksgiving Holiday.

What to expect next week?  

Rapid warming will move in over the weekend into early next week with afternoon highs back into the 80s by early next week. 

There's a slight chance of a rain shower or two next Sunday and Monday. Overall, a very dry pattern relative to average is settling in for the foreseeable future with drought expected to continue to develop and worsen across all of Florida with no signs any time soon of notable rain chances.

Tracking the tropics

No active storms are on the horizon in the gulf, Caribbean or the Atlantic. There's a small chance there might be storms in the Caribbean, but for now, odds are low. 

Officially, hurricane season ends at the end of November, its still a possibility. "Nestor" remains the next name up if something does form. 

December storms are quite rare, but have happened before.

There's been a total of 27 tropical systems in the Atlantic during the month of December on record (since 1850). Only one has ever hit Florida: An unnamed tropical storm hit SW Florida on Dec. 1, 1925 with winds of 60 MPH.
