Central Florida is entering a spring-like stretch of weather over the next week.<\/p>\n

Afternoon temperatures will be a few degrees above average all week. We are expecting the 80s every day through the weekend.<\/p>\n

Small rain chances will be present each day this week.<\/p>\n

Most of the rain we will see will originate offshore and then move onshore.<\/p>\n

Central Florida is entering a spring-like stretch of weather over the next week.<\/p>\n

This means areas such as Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, Melbourne, and Cocoa Beach have a better chance of rain than areas further inland, such as Orlando.<\/p>\n

It is still not a great chance of rain. Smaller showers with limited thunderstorm potential will be isolated at best between now and Saturday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The bigger thing to watch will be the wind gusts. Along the coast, we are likely to see wind gusts between 25 and 35 mph each day.<\/p>\n

Those numbers will decrease slightly in Orlando and other inland areas. However, we may still have the occasional breeze up to 30 mph.<\/p>\n

No significant cold fronts are expected over the next week. We are watching a system that will stall out in the middle of the country by Thursday or Friday, but it will not have much impact in central Florida until this weekend.<\/p>\n

Our drought conditions remain severe and will continue to be that way until the wet season.<\/p>\n
