ORLANDO, Fla. – A surge of very dry air continues to move into Florida as a weak high-pressure system settles overhead.
A fast-moving cold front late Wednesday will drive through the area, and with little moisture available, most of the day will be dry. A few brief showers are possible overnight.
Afternoon highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s.
With long period swells from Hurricane Melissa will keep conditions hazardous for boaters and beachgoers, with a high risk of rip currents.
