ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Florida is experiencing the passage of a weak front early Friday morning, leading to some clouds and isolated showers in the region.

However, drier air from the north is poised to sweep through and is expected to clear the skies by late morning.

Residents can look forward to a delightful day with mostly sunny conditions. Temperatures will remain near the seasonal average, accompanied by a consistent northeast breeze.

Looking Ahead to the Weekend

As the weekend approaches, high pressure is set to move offshore. This shift will cause winds to change direction, moving from the northeast to the south. Consequently, the area will experience an increase in warmth and humidity, with temperatures rising to the mid- to upper 80s by Sunday.

A few coastal clouds or a brief shower may drift ashore, but overall rain chances will stay very low and most areas will stay dry.

Beach & Boating

Even though the surf and weather will look more inviting than in recent weeks, the onshore flow and a developing long-period swell will keep rip current risks high through Sunday.

Next Week

Early next week, a weak front will try to move through before stalling near South Florida. Only a few light showers are expected, with no strong storms in the mix. This next front will usher in another round of dry and comfortable weather, with highs in the mid-80s.

Another front midweek should finally bring slightly cooler and drier air, returning us to more typical fall weather.

Tropical Outlook

Looking ahead, we’re keeping an eye on a tropical wave that will move into the Caribbean.

Models are showing signs of gradual development in the coming days.

Some model runs suggest it could stay nearby through the latter part of October, so it’s definitely worth watching as the pattern evolves.
