ORLANDO, Fla. — Our pleasant Saturday has continued this evening, with clearing skies and falling temps. The nice weather will continue overnight, with mostly clear skies and temps in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Sunday will also feature very pleasant conditions for late September. Dry air remains in place across the area, resulting in partly cloudy skies and no rain chance. It will be breezy once again on Sunday, with highs in the mid to upper 80s. High surf and rip currents will remain a huge concern, and swimming in the Atlantic is strongly discouraged.

A "taste of dry season" gets going for next week. The dry air continues to pour into  Florida, with abundant sunshine, low humidity and very low rain chances. Highs for Monday and Tuesday will be in the mid to upper 80s.

The pleasant weather marches on into the middle of next week. A few more clouds are expected Wednesday, with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s.

Rain chances will return to close next week as moisture begins to return to the area. Expect just a few isolated showers for Thursday and Friday, with temps in the low 90s.

Low rain chances will likely persist heading into next weekend, with highs holding in the low 90s.

Tropical Update

Tropical Storm Jerry continues to pull away from the northern Lesser Antilles. Jerry will continue to turn to the north and northeast, and could impact Bermuda by the middle of next week.

Elsewhere, a tropical wave is nearing the southern Lesser Antilles. This now has a high chance of development, and could become a tropical depression later this weekend. This system could directly impact Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands.

We’re also watching a big system rolling off the coast of Africa. This has a high chance of development, and could become a tropical depression early next week.

Beach and Surf Conditions

A solo red flag means a high danger of rip currents and crashing waves, so heed any lifeguard warnings.

If you see a double red flag, it means the water is closed to swimming. Overall surfing looks poor because wave highs of six to eight feet, occasionally to 10 feet will be mushed by a solid northeast to east-northeast swell and a strong onshore wind.

We will keep rough ocean conditions around Sunday too.
