ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Central Florida is bracing for a significant shift in weather, with temperatures expected to reach near 90 degrees this week before a cold front arrives Sunday. <\/p>\n

Afternoon highs today are expected to reach the low 80s for nearly all of Central Florida.<\/p>\n

The high temperature in Orlando is forecast to reach 82 degrees on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The warming trend will continue through the end of the week.<\/p>\n

Friday and Saturday will see highs near 90 degrees, which is near record territory for this time of year.<\/p>\n

The approaching front will bring the first chance of rain for the week and a return to winter-like temperatures. <\/p>\n

This transition follows a dry stretch that has contributed to worsening drought levels across the region.<\/p>\n

Winter temperatures will persist into early next week with daytime highs remaining in the 50s and 60s.<\/p>\n
