Good evening, Central Florida. We’re wrapping up the day for you with the most important stories you need to know and your weather outlook.

Your Weather Planner

High pressure continues to provide a light wind, above average temperatures, and dry conditions and it sticks around into this weekend. We’ll wake up with another round of fog Saturday morning, then break into a sun-filled sky and heat into the lower 80s. It may feel a touch more humid too.

A weak cold front fizzles out before reaching us on Sunday. We are still expecting plenty of sunshine, but may throw in an isolated sprinkle late in the day as the front approaches. Warm and humid conditions are in the forecast with highs back into the lower 80s. A stronger front arrives on Thanksgiving, bringing us scattered late-day showers. Ahead of the front, clouds increase Thursday with temperatures in the lower 80. Highs drop back into the lower 70s behind the front on Black Friday.
