Orlando residents can look forward to clear skies and warm temperatures today, with the National Weather Service Melbourne, FL, reporting a steadying high-pressure system over the region. High pressure prevailed again today; the service was noted in an early morning forecast. However, there's a chance for patchy fog early this morning, particularly along the Treasure Coast and tonight.
For those looking to take advantage of the outdoors before the holiday, today's light and variable winds, with a light east coast sea breeze, will make it ideal, with temperatures expected to hover in the lower 80s during the day, "Highs will remain in the lower 80s," confirmed by the National Weather Service. Tonight's patchy fog, which may develop late into the evening, especially west of the I-95, should not hinder any pre-Thanksgiving revelers. Overnight lows are predicted to fall in the mid to upper 50s, but the immediate coast could see the mercury lingering in the lower 60s.
The service's marine forecast remains positive for seafarers through Thursday, indicating Dry conditions and generally favorable boating conditions prevail, so boating enthusiasts can set sail without worry but should exercise caution near inlets during outgoing tides due to the predicted long swell periods. Looking towards the holiday, Thanksgiving Day promises to maintain dry conditions - a bit of increased humidity notwithstanding - with continued lower 80s temperatures providing a pleasant backdrop for feasts and family gatherings.
Looking ahead to the weekend, Orlando will see a shift in weather patterns, a series of frontal passages late this week into the weekend. As described by the weather service, those frontal passages introduce cooler temperatures, which the Public is forecast to feel post-Thanksgiving, with highs dipping to below 70s along and north of the I-4 corridor and potentially falling even further into the 60s and 70s after a secondary dry front pushes through making for a decidedly brisk start into the next week, the coldest night is forecast to be Monday night, the weather service predicts.
The forecasted shift will end the stretch of warm weather and usher in the more typical chill of late November, marking a return to the seasonal rhythms familiar to Florida's residents and its myriad visitors.
