It's another weekend of dry conditions for Orlando, with the National Weather Service Melbourne, FL, forecasting clear skies and moderate temperatures. Early risers may encounter patchy fog, especially in areas further inland, which could be aggravated by smoke from nearby wildfires, leading to localized visibility issues.

Temperatures are set to hit the mid to upper 70s, providing a pleasant backdrop for outdoor plans. There's a moderate risk of rip currents if you’re heading to the beach—a reminder to stay sharp and swim where lifeguards are on duty. "If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don’t swim against the current," advises the National Weather Service. For late-night planners, expect lows between the mid-40s to low 50s.

According to the NWS forecast, things are set to heat up at the start of the week, with temperatures climbing to the mid-upper 80s by Monday. A sea breeze might offer some coastal reprieve, but the interior areas will largely rely on the shift in weather patterns expected Monday night when rain and storm chances herald the approach of a cold front.

Marine conditions have been on the upswing, with a favorable boating forecast for the weekend. However, from Monday night into Tuesday night, the potential for showers and storms increases as the weakening cold front approaches the region.

Aviators and those with an eye on the sky must be aware of possible fog development early in the morning, especially at interior sites. However, visibility should clear swiftly after sunrise. As for the fire-prone, the continued dryness and sub-15 mph winds mean sensitive fire weather conditions will persist this weekend.
