Orlando woke up Friday to a misty scene, with patchy fog cutting visibility to about a half-mile in some spots before sunrise. Early temps hover in the mid-50s (around 54°F), but once the fog burns off by mid-morning, expect plenty of sunshine and a comfortable high near 77°F.
Morning Fog, Sunny Afternoons
The early fog should lift quickly, trading the gray for a dry, warm afternoon that is friendly to errands, park laps, and patio lunches. North winds stay light at 0 to 5 mph, keeping conditions calm and easygoing. The outlook comes from the National Weather Service Melbourne, which is calling for highs in the upper 70s along the I-4 corridor.
Weekend Outlook: Warm Then Wet
Temperatures stay on an upward climb through the weekend, reaching the upper 70s on Saturday and close to 81°F on Sunday (February 15). The tradeoff arrives late in the weekend, when rain and wind start stealing the spotlight.
Southerly winds strengthen Sunday, with daytime gusts up to 25 mph and a 40% chance of showers. By Sunday night into Monday, rain chances spike to around 80%, with showers and thunderstorms in the mix. If you are planning outdoor events Sunday night or heading out early Monday, prepare for wet roads and possible delays. For more context on this pattern, see our earlier update Foggy Start, Dangerous Surf, as reported by Hoodline.
Boaters And Fire Weather
Conditions on the water turn rough Sunday as winds build and seas rise to around 5 to 6 feet offshore, creating potentially hazardous periods during the strongest winds. Forecasters are also flagging very sensitive fire weather Sunday afternoon, with gusty south winds working over dry fuels. The late Sunday rain should help limit any large-scale fire spread.
For now, no watches or warnings are posted for the Orlando area, but anyone with boating or outdoor plans will want to keep an eye on updates as the weekend system moves in.
