Orlando weather: Warm stretch for Central Florida before cool temps return

Orlando Weather Forecast: Tracking record warmth then major cold, when it hits your town

FOX 35 Storm Team Senior Meteorologist Noah Bergren is tracking record warmth Sunday afternoon followed by a drastic drop to harshly colder weather by Tuesday next week!

ORLANDO, Fla. - Skies are expected to clear overnight, creating conditions favorable for patchy dense fog late tonight into Friday morning as winds remain light. 

Overnight temperatures will stay unseasonably warm, with lows in the mid to upper 50s.

Weekend forecast

What To Expect:

Friday will bring a continued warming trend, with highs reaching the low 80s under mostly sunny skies across Central Florida.

Looking ahead, warm conditions will persist through the weekend, with highs climbing into the low to mid-80s Saturday and Sunday.

Sunday’s temperatures could challenge record highs in Orlando for Jan. 25, where the record is 86 degrees set in 1920 and again in 2023. 

That's the forecast for Florida, but it will be quite the wintry mess across most of the country. This weekend a massive winter storm will bring crazy snow sleet and ice from West Texas to New England.

Sunday, as a major winter storm is ongoing to the north of Florida, things will be near record warmth for us.

Next cold blast

Looking Ahead:

Gusty winds up to 25 mph are expected late Sunday into Monday ahead of an approaching cold front, bringing scattered showers.

Cooler air will arrive on Tuesday, with morning lows dropping into the 40s and daytime highs limited to the 50s.
