ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Florida is bracing for a notably blustery weekend as sustained winds climb to 20–30 mph. Persistent onshore flow could create rough surf, dangerous rip currents, coastal flooding and beach erosion.

Gusty northeast winds of 20–25 mph are expected today, with a slight increase in strength by Friday. Afternoon temperatures should hold in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
Weekend
Rain chances will rise Saturday, reaching 20% to 30%, and could remain elevated into early next week as additional moisture spreads across the area.
The wind threat will intensify as well. Northeast winds are forecast to remain at 20–30 mph from Saturday through Monday, with stronger gusts of 35–40 mph possible. Wind Advisories may be issued, particularly along the coast, while breezy conditions could linger into Tuesday.
