ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 It\u2019s March 1! We\u2019re already nearing the end of the first quarter of 2026. Is it just me, or does it still feel like Christmas and New Years Eve were maybe a month ago? At most! <\/p>\n
Time seems like it\u2019s picking up some speed, and so is our area headed towards the spring season. Today marks the start of the meteorological spring. <\/p>\n
Mother Nature is willing to play ball as well when looking at your forecast for the first seven days of the new month. <\/p>\n
The next seven days pave the way to very warm temps outside (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n
We\u2019re in for drier weather (yay, not really), and much warmer temperatures for a longer period of time. This comes with excitement and displeasure at the same time. <\/p>\n
We\u2019ll stick to the exciting note for the majority of your weather update. <\/p>\n
We should fully anticipate mild if not comfortable mornings for the foreseeable future. Afternoon temperatures will start to more consistently reach into the low 80s across the viewing area. For the month of March, I can see a couple instances where we dip down into the 70s. <\/p>\n
But I am pretty confident at this point we won\u2019t be talking \u201ccold blasts\u201d or \u201carctic invasions\u201d at all until maybe the end of this coming fall and the entry to winter 2026-2027. <\/p>\n
We’ll settle comfortably into the upper 50s and low 60s tonight (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n
That weather pattern has dissolved, and we\u2019re looking towards when the first tornado season of the year begins to really show up for our neighbors west of the Florida peninsula. <\/p>\n
For Monday, we\u2019ll be right at about the average when considering where we should be at the start of March. Overnight lows will fall into the upper 50s for our northern counties. As we get closer to the attractions, the airport, and downtown Orlando, we\u2019ll see low 60s as we wake up in the morning. <\/p>\n
As we see temps climb and more sunshine, you’ll want to be mindful of the UV index (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n
Fog won\u2019t be an issue for the time being, as we develop a fairly sporty easterly wind pattern over the state. Winds coming in from the Atlantic will keep the air moving and mixing. This won\u2019t allow any real build up of fog in town. <\/p>\n
Tomorrow is the return once again of 80 degrees in many spots. Now the question is, will they stick for good? (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n
This also keeps moisture and mugginess in the room since we\u2019re borrowing from the warmer parts of the subtropical Atlantic. <\/p>\n
A high rip current risk remains in play along our east coast thanks to those heightened easterly winds (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n
While the beach may look pleasing, be aware these breezy conditions are going to make the sea a little on the rough side. A high rip current risk is already in effect for our eastern shores. Life threatening rip currents are expected with 2-4 feet of surf. <\/p>\n
Even the most experienced swimmers and surfers she remain very vigilant and cautious when planning their next venture to the coast. <\/p>\n
Now, I hope you\u2019ve gotten your fill of good news! I want to tread lightly into some, not so good news. <\/p>\n
The drought \u2013 we did receive some plentiful rainfall in a few spots over the course of Friday and Saturday. It really won\u2019t be enough to bring down how bad the dryness is through our lovely state. <\/p>\n
Tiny blips may appear on your radar rocketing east to west over the peninsula as onshore flow drives them in from the Atlantic ocean (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n
Rain is in the forecast, but incredibly spotty and isolated. It won\u2019t be bringing any impacts to your day-to-day the next few days. Unless you just so happen to find yourself right underneath the one or two stray showers that do come to fruition. <\/p>\n
If you\u2019re reading up on your weather ahead and live along our Atlantic coast, carry the umbrella and watch the skies during the warmest parts of the day. The easterly breeze could generate enough energy to get some rain going in your neighborhood. <\/p>\n
Otherwise, the very isolated nature of the rain is concerning. Our temps will only go up from here on out. Fire risks are likely going to come back up as we move forward. <\/p>\n
We\u2019ll continue examining that behind the scenes. Your key takeaway here is, expect a pretty glorious Sunshine state week ahead. You\u2019ll receive full cooperation from Mother Nature as you go about your business Monday through Friday. <\/p>\n
