Are you one to want all the sunshine, heat, humidity, everything rather symbolic of what you imagine Central Florida is known for? <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">Or, are you on the opposite side of the field where you encourage the cooler weather and a bit of a \u201cseasonal\u201d change? Albeit that\u2019s like pulling teeth around these parts given Florida\u2019s climate nature. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">Well, I\u2019ve got some news for you and it\u2019s either going to make you very happy or I may get a couple of fun emails in my inbox here very soon! <\/p>\n<p>The Climate Prediction Center now has us bathed in below average shades of blue as the trough extending south from Canada stays in place (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">Our next cold front is on the way. It\u2019s currently positioned over the Gulf coast states extending back northeastward towards the Appalachians. Along the leading edge there\u2019s a low-end severe weather risk given all the moisture and warmer air out in front of it as it races southward. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">Over us that same warm air remains. Tonight we\u2019ll be on the mild and somewhat muggy side, especially as we start to feel that classic \u201cpre-frontal\u201d influence. Winds will start to generally flow out of the south and west, with warmer temps hanging with us even well into the overnight hours and early Sunday morning. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">All this additional moisture and leftover high pressure ridging will likely produce the grand finale of all this morning fog we\u2019ve dealt with through the previous workweek and your Saturday morning. <\/p>\n<p>One last morning fog bout Sunday before the cold front begins to bully all that leftover moisture and high pressure away (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">It looks to hug our western counties and try to fan out further eastward. So be on the lookout for the fog as you wander out the door tomorrow morning for breakfast, church, or if you\u2019re like me and sometimes hit the gym or get outdoors for some morning exercise. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">Then by lunch time, our viewing area begins to see the movement of that cold front across town. Winds will immediately pick up and transition to a more northerly direction once its finished pummeling its way southeastward through all this subtropical air. <\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow&#8217;s winds will get cranking as the front slides through midday (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">That front will act to shoo all that fog away and welcome in cooler, drier conditions by nightfall. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">Tomorrow late afternoon and early evening plan for some breezy conditions. Into the evening the coolest air won\u2019t have arrived quite yet, but the nighttime will have a noticeable bite alongside the leftover post-frontal winds coming in from up north. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">Then, get this \u2013 we won\u2019t be dropping into freezing temperature territory this time. Which is outstanding news! These huge swings in weather are a great way to give the nasty flu bug going around an advantage. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">Thankfully, the temps will drop but it won\u2019t be as dramatic, especially once we get into the afternoon hours. <\/p>\n<p>The above average temperatures continue to dwindle after the arrival of our next front (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">However, this cooldown will be with us for quite a bit longer. Gone are the days where chilly weather sticks around Central Florida for a day or two at best. In fact, I\u2019m not seeing any upper 70 or low 80 degree afternoon high\u2019s for a little while. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">We could very well have turned the corner to the true commencement of winter here in the Sunshine state. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">We\u2019re also seeing a greater chance of much-needed rainfall by Wednesday. Even more stellar news as drought conditions continue to slow but steadily increase through the area. <\/p>\n<p>Rain chances may not be high tomorrow but are beginning to go up as we get into the next week ahead (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">As the jet stream remains configured rather aggressively, flowing much further south near the state of Florida and the rest of the southeast, this will help generate a bit more energy in the pattern creating additional pushes of moisture from the Gulf. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">The Gulf, being a massive body of water, has plenty of moisture and believe it or not &#8211; heat &#8211; to go around. So rain chances are climbing for Wednesday. More on that to come, for now let\u2019s get through this cold front and see what Sunday and Monday have in store for us! <\/p>\n<p>Daily Forecast<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kiwhtN\">The News 6 Weather team ensures you&#8217;re always on top of the day&#8217;s weather.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Is this the Florida weather you signed up for?
