Orlando AM Weather Forecast: Temperatures climbing back up in Central Florida
Temperatures across Central Florida are set to rise into the upper 80s by the weekend. FOX 35 Storm Team meteorologist Brooks Garner takes a look at the forecast.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Summer-like temperatures are expected to continue for the next several days and into the weekend for Orlando and Central Florida. Some spots could reach near 90 degrees this weekend. We're also monitoring for the potential of some isolated or spotty showers this weekend, though widespread showers are not expected.
Today's weather forecast
Thursday morning will start cool with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. By afternoon, temperatures will warm to the 70s and 80s, just below the average temperature of 85.
Expect a mix of sunshine and clouds throughout the day with easterly winds. There is a slight – 10% – chance of isolated showers along the coasts.
Weekend forecast: Hot
For the weekend, temperatures will begin to heat up highs in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. A few very isolated and spotty showers will be possible for the weekend as well, as an almost summer-like set-up takes hold.
An east and west coast sea-breeze collision will help to spark a few much-needed showers. That being said, moisture and humidity levels are still quite low so these showers will be very isolated and there is not nearly enough rain to help with the drought and wildfire situation.
Next week, Mother Nature really cranks up the heat as highs break into the low 90s. The dry pattern looks to persist as well, with the long-term pattern suggesting little to no rain through the end of the month.
