Orlando is shaking off the chill on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, with clear skies and a cool start around 55F at the KORL observation site this morning. Sunshine will do the heavy lifting today, sending the high to near 76F with a light east-northeast breeze around 5 to 10 mph. Tonight stays mostly clear and mild, with a low near 57F that should feel just right for evening errands or dinner on a patio.
Afternoon And Week Ahead
High pressure builds in through midweek and cranks temperatures up a notch. Orlando heads into the low 80s on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, and by Friday and Saturday the mid to upper 80s spread inland. The warm, dry stretch sticks around through Friday before a front noses in late this weekend. Sunday, February 22, 2026, brings a 20 to 30 percent chance of showers and gusty winds, followed by a noticeable cooldown on Monday, February 23, 2026.
Boating, Beaches And Fire Weather
A Small Craft Advisory stays in effect for offshore waters through 10 a.m. EST Tuesday, with seas up to 7 feet and choppy conditions. Boaters are urged to postpone nonessential trips and use extra caution, according to the National Weather Service. The agency also highlights a high rip current risk along east-central Florida beaches and notes that fire-weather concerns will increase by midweek as humidity drops.
What To Plan For
Tie down any loose patio furniture, hold off on yard burning, and build in a little extra time for coastal plans through this morning while winds and seas settle. Afternoons will be comfortably warm for parks, outdoor chores, and errands.
