    • Much cooler weather is expected in the second half of January, with possible additional cold fronts.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A few passing clouds are expected this evening and overnight, with patchy fog possible again. 

Overnight temperatures are expected to fall across the area.

Chilly Wednesday night

Temperatures will fall into the upper 50s and low 60s for morning lows. Patchy fog looks to develop late tonight and into early tomorrow morning.

Warm week ahead

Temperatures will continue to outperform through the rest of this week and even into the weekend as well. High temperatures will soar into the low 80s just about every single day this week.

Mostly dry conditions will prevail this week, allowing for partly to mostly sunny skies. 

Unseasonably warm weekend

Looking Ahead:

The unusually warm stretch of weather will continue through Saturday, with temperatures more typical of April than January. Highs are expected to reach the low to mid-80s away from the beaches, with Friday and Saturday shaping up to be the warmest days.

Patchy fog may develop on several nights in the coming days, a common occurrence this time of year.

A cold front is expected to move through Florida late Sunday, Jan. 11, though it is not expected to bring significant rain or thunderstorms. 

Forecasters said the front will likely produce increased cloud cover, a few sprinkles and a noticeable drop in temperatures.

Early next week, highs are expected to range from the 60s to near 70 degrees, with gusty winds developing behind the front. Morning lows will be notably cooler as well, dipping into the upper 40s Monday morning.

Forecasters are also monitoring the potential for a more organized weather system around Jan. 15–16, though details remain uncertain. Current signals suggest the possibility of a few thunderstorms or stronger activity, but confidence is low at this range.

Overall, the latter half of January is expected to trend much cooler, with several shots of colder air reaching Florida and the Southeast. Forecasters cautioned that winter conditions are far from over.
