Orlando is starting Sunday under mostly cloudy skies, with temperatures around 72 degrees and a noticeably breezy north-northeast wind. The city should warm to about 82 degrees, but scattered showers may interrupt the day after 10 a.m., making outdoor plans a little less predictable.

According to the National Weather Service, rain chances will reach about 30% Sunday, with a tenth to a quarter-inch possible in passing showers. Northeast winds of 15 to 20 mph could gust as high as 35 mph, so loose patio furniture, umbrellas and anything else that can take flight may need attention.

Sunday Night Stays Breezy

Showers remain possible Sunday evening and could linger until around 3 a.m. Monday. Skies should turn partly cloudy overnight, with temperatures falling to about 70 degrees and northeast winds continuing at 10 to 20 mph, with gusts near 30 mph.

Mostly Sunny Tuesday Before Storm Chances Return

Monday looks much like Sunday, with a high near 82 degrees, breezy northeast winds and another chance for showers after noon. Tuesday is the calmer-looking day of the early week, with sunny skies, a high near 82 and only a small chance of rain.

Showers and thunderstorms become more possible Wednesday and Thursday, especially from late morning into the afternoon. Highs should stay seasonable, reaching about 82 degrees Wednesday and 83 degrees Thursday, while northeast winds remain strong enough to make exposed areas feel unsettled.

Warm, Mostly Sunny Finish To The Week

Friday and Saturday are expected to be mostly sunny, with highs near 84 degrees and only a slight chance of afternoon showers. Overnight lows gradually dip from around 70 degrees early in the week to the upper 60s by next weekend.

For anyone planning a beach trip from Orlando, conditions along the east-central Florida coast are a separate concern. Forecasters are warning of rough surf, dangerous rip currents, coastal flooding and strong winds through at least Tuesday, with entering the ocean discouraged while the advisories remain in effect.
