ORLANDO, Florida  No records falling across central Florida Friday, but temperatures were still well above seasonable levels for this time in October.

We had a few showers and downpours across central Florida Friday, thanks to an onshore flow and a stalled out front nearby.

While a lot of the activity ended early, we’ll keep an isolated shower threat overnight along the coast. Lows stay on the mild side in the low 70s.

As the front slowly lifts north Saturday, we will remain in the heat and have enough moisture for a 20 to 30 percent coverage of showers. High temps climb back into the upper 80s to around 90.

A big pattern change is on the way courtesy of our season’s first strong cold front set to sweep in before sunrise Sunday. The front passes without fanfare, with a mostly sunny and breezy day, and highs dropping into the upper 70s to lower 80s area wide.

Some of the coolest air since last spring spills in by Monday morning. Parts of Marion County could actually dip into the 40s, while widespread 50s and 60s are experienced elsewhere.

Another sunny day is on tap Monday with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. We bring rain chances back into the fold at 30-percent coverage Tuesday as warmer air spreads back into our area.

Grab a board and be prepped for fair surfing Saturday as an east-southeast swell and east-northeast windswell mix and wave heights of two to three feet, occasionally higher produce some water fun.

An offshore flow will keep the rip current threat lower than the past few days, but use caution when swimming.
