Good morning, Central Florida. Here’s what you need to know today.

Your Weather Planner

High pressure overhead will supply Central Florida with plenty of sun for Tuesday as the initially bitter cold airmass starts to modify. We’ll bounce back to the low to mid-60s today, which is still below the average high of 73, but warmer than the last few days.

Wednesday will be even warmer, in the low to mid-70s, under a partly sunny sky with more clouds filling in by the end of the day. This will signal our next cold front that will arrive early Thursday with a round of showers. Once the front exits and rain tapers, we’re back to a dry and cool pattern to close out the work week.
