Cold front brings fall weather to Central Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Florida is kicking off the week with a change in the air—literally.

A cold front has moved through the area and is bringing cooler and drier air with it. That means it’s finally feeling like fall, with comfortable conditions and abundant sunshine expected to stick around.

The breeze will be noticeable through much of today, but winds are expected to decrease later tonight. Thanks to the dry air, humidity levels will drop, creating a comfortable stretch of days for the region.

Afternoon highs are expected to warm into the lower 80s throughout.

Coastal flood advisories and warnings continue along the east coast

We’re still tracking coastal flood advisories that remain in effect along the entire Atlantic coast of Central Florida through Monday night.

Flagler County faces an extended advisory through Tuesday morning.

Above-normal tides and strong northerly winds are expected to keep pushing water up along the coastline, raising the risk of minor flooding and shoreline erosion, especially in low-lying areas. Those near the coast should stay alert for possible road closures.
