ORLANDO, Fla. — After a very busy Monday weather-wise, a much quieter day has evolved with abundant sunshine.

The cold front responsible for our severe storms didn't bring any cooler air with it as highs ended up in the mid to upper 80s this afternoon.

A clear and starry sky is in the cards tonight with lows in the upper 50s and lower 60s area wide.

High pressure building in from the west brought sun and drier air to Central Florida with a repeat in the forecast Wednesday. High temperatures are forecast to be about the same as well topping the lower 80s along our east coast, and mid to upper 80s inland. A breeze kicks up in the afternoon with gusts around 15 mph at times.

We’re watching the next system upstream set to swing a cold front in our direction Thursday night into Friday morning. Ahead of it, we heat into the upper 80s and lower 90s Thursday afternoon with a mix of clouds and sun.

Although we may see an isolated late day shower or storm, better chances for more widespread activity rolls in Thursday night into very early Friday morning. A few of these storms could pack a punch, something we will monitor closely.

We’ll get a better handle on the timing as we get closer as well. Rain takes us through the first part of Friday, then expect a mostly cloudy sky and low to mid-80s for highs in the afternoon.

We keep a 40-percent coverage of showers and storms in the forecast Saturday, with a mainly dry Sunday. Highs both days warm into the middle 80s.

Beach and Boating Conditions

As a number of our local beaches open back up Wednesday with rules in place regarding what you can and cannot do, swimming is one thing they are allowing.

The rip current threat stays low, and sea surface temps are in the upper 60s along the Flagler and Volusia County coasts to the upper 70s along the Brevard County coastline. Poor to fair surfing conditions are forecast.
