Orlando weather: Warm temps this weekend, big chill next week

Orlando Weather PM Forecast: December 26, 2025

The warm and sunny weather sticks around for the weekend with temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. This is all thanks to high pressure pushing warm air into Central Florida. For any outdoor activities you might have planned, the weather looks perfect for all of them! Even for the Pop-Tart Bowl, the sun will be shining and the temperatures will be warm for the game at Camping World Stadium for kickoff at 3:30. There will still be patchy dense fog through the overnights and at the beaches, dangerous rip currents and large swells will be an issue.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Clear and calm conditions are expected overnight. 

However, expect a patchy dense fog to develop. Temperatures are in the mid-50s.  

Warm weekend weather

The warm and sunny weather sticks around for the weekend with temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. 

This is all thanks to high pressure pushing warm air into Central Florida. 

For any outdoor activities you might have planned, the weather looks perfect for all of them! Even for the Pop-Tart Bowl, the sun will be shining, and the temperatures will be warm for the game at Camping World Stadium for kickoff at 3:30.

There will still be patchy dense fog through the overnights and at the beaches. Dangerous rip currents and large swells will be an issue. There's a high risk of rip currents and wave heights of two to four feet. 

Big weather changes next week

It's a warm end to 2025 as 2026 starts off cold. Looking ahead to Monday – in the last few days of 2025 – big changes are expected. 

A strong cold front will move in bringing frigid air to Central Florida. 

A few spotty light showers will be possible Monday afternoon and evening as the front moves in. 

Temperatures New Year's Eve and New Year's Day will have lows in the 30s and 40s with highs only int he 50s and 60s.  

We've issued a FOX 35 Storm Team Alert for New Year's Eve as cold temperatures will certainly impact your celebratory plans. With the current data trends, temperatures have the potential of dipping down to near-freezing for our northernmost counties. We will have to watch Ocala and Gainesville areas for cold weather advisories next week.
