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

Your Weather Planner

A stalled front to our south will keep our weather unsettled for one more day before drier air takes over for the weekend. Occasional showers embedded within the onshore flow may be heavy at times, especially at the coast; northeast winds will continue to be gusty, around 10 to 20+ mph.

With more clouds in place, highs will stay in the low to mid-70s for Thursday, but warmer and brighter weather returns to the forecast starting Friday. While there still could be a leftover coastal shower as we wrap up the work and school week, we can drop the rain chances altogether for Saturday and Sunday as we pair highs in the low 80s with plenty of sun.
