Weekend Heatwave Approaching 90°: Find Out When the Cooldown Begins

ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Florida is in for a spell of warmth and minimal rainfall, with temperatures set to increase slightly before a mild front introduces some shifts in the weather early next week.

Dominating high pressure will persist over the region in the coming days, significantly reducing the likelihood of rain and ensuring ample sunshine typical of the Sunshine State.

Expect breezy conditions to linger for one more day, as eastern winds blow at speeds between 10 to 15 mph, with gusts reaching up to 20 mph.

Although the coastal areas might experience a few brief, light sprinkles moving onshore, the majority of the region will remain dry.

Daytime temperatures will peak around 80 degrees near the coast and range from the low to mid-80s farther inland.

Strong onshore breeze will maintain a high risk of rip currents along all of our Atlantic beaches.

Through the rest of the week, the warm and dry pattern stays locked in as temperatures climb into the upper 80s to low 90s by Friday and into the weekend. Some inland spots could come close to record highs by then, including Leesburg.

By late Sunday into early Monday, a weak cold front is expected to move through, bringing a slight cooldown and the return of a few rain chances. Latest models show limited rain and breezy conditions into early next week, with highs back to the lower 80s.
