Orlando starts Sunday with clear skies and temperatures in the low 60s, but the afternoon will feel much warmer as the city climbs to about 82 degrees. Sunshine and light north winds should make for an easy outdoor day inland, even as serious water hazards continue elsewhere in Central Florida.
Sunny Stretch Holds Through Wednesday
Mostly sunny and warm conditions will continue Monday and Tuesday, with highs near 82 and 81 degrees, respectively. Veterans Day should stay partly sunny with a high near 80, while overnight lows remain mainly in the low to mid-60s.
Rain chances stay near zero through Monday and Tuesday, then edge up slightly Wednesday. The National Weather Service in Melbourne says this quiet, seasonable pattern should hold through the middle of the week.
Rain Chances Rise Before A Cooler Turn
Clouds will increase Thursday as moisture moves ahead of the front. The high should reach the upper 70s to near 80, with west winds of 5 to 10 mph and gusts up to 20 mph.
A stronger cold front is expected to move through late Thursday or early Friday, though only light, scattered showers are currently expected. Lingering showers may exit Friday, with partly sunny skies and a 20% chance of showers.
Weekend Brings The Coolest Air Yet
Saturday looks sunny but noticeably cooler, with a high in the mid to upper 60s. Northwest winds are possible Saturday night. Overnight temperatures could fall to around 49 degrees, a sharp change from the low 80s expected earlier in the week.
The weather service says the coolest air of the autumn season may arrive next weekend, with some interior locations potentially dipping into the mid-to-upper 40s. Wind chills could briefly feel like the upper 30s Saturday and Sunday mornings in areas around Orlando and northward.
Beach And River Hazards Remain
Dry weather in Orlando does not mean all of Central Florida is out of danger. A high risk of life-threatening rip currents continues along Atlantic beaches through at least Monday, and officials advise staying out of the ocean.
Flooding is also continuing along the St. Johns River, where levels are forecast to keep rising at several points, including Cocoa, Geneva, Sanford, DeLand and Astor. Residents should follow local officials’ guidance and avoid flooded roads and waterways.
