ORLANDO, Fla. — It was a wonderful Wednesday across Central Florida under a mostly sunny and temperatures in the low to mid-80s.

The breeze stays up overnight as we see lows in the middle 60s and a partly cloudy sky. We'll start our Thursday off with sunshine, then mix in some afternoon clouds. We heat up even more into the upper 80s and lower 90s.

A south wind gusting up to 25 mph tomorrow will bring deeper atmospheric moisture into the area giving us a hot and humid afternoon. We are keeping rain out of our forecast during the day as a system upstream slows a bit.

The cold front moves into northern Florida Thursday night sending scattered showers and storms sliding across the area between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m. A few storms could be strong-to-severe with damaging wind and hail a threat.

We keep a fairly high coverage of rain and rumbles Friday afternoon. Highs cool slightly into the upper 70s and lower 80s. Since this front won't get nudged southward until late Saturday, we have a 50 percent coverage of rain in the forecast and highs in the low to mid-80s.

Drier air moves in Sunday allowing us to cut rain back to 10 percent in the afternoon, and under a mostly sunny sky, warm temperatures back into the middle 80s.

Beach and Boating Conditions

Poor to very poor surfing conditions are in the forecast Thursday with wave heights of only one to two feet and an east to east-southeast swell mix. The rip current threat is moderate so use extra caution if you're swimming. The ultraviolet index is very high which means under 15 minutes to burn.
