ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Florida is in for a weather shift, with a blend of cloud cover, intermittent showers, and rising temperatures expected in the coming days.

Wednesday

Expect predominantly cloudy skies as moisture flows in from the Atlantic Ocean. A robust onshore breeze might usher in occasional rain showers along the coastal areas. Temperatures will climb to the mid- to upper 70s, slightly above the seasonal average. The night will remain mild, with temperatures dropping only to the low to mid-60s.

Thursday

There will be a better chance of rain ahead of an approaching cold front. There will be a 30-40% chance of scattered showers, with a few thunderstorms developing late in the day and evening hours.

While widespread severe weather is not expected, any storm that forms could produce lightning, gusty winds and brief heavy downpours.

Temperatures remain warm ahead of the front, with highs in the upper 70s.

Friday

We will start with lingering showers early but improving conditions as the front moves through later in the day. Once the front passes, cooler and drier air moves in Friday night. Overnight lows will drop into the 50s.

Most of the time, it will be dry, although an isolated onshore shower cannot be ruled out as moisture slowly returns.

Temperatures will remain comfortable, with daytime highs mostly in the 70s and a few locations touching the low 80s on Sunday.
