ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Central Florida awakened to cooler air<\/a> Friday morning. <\/p>\n

Temperatures at sunrise were about 5 to 10 degrees lower than Thursday, making that light jacket a good call. <\/p>\n

Afternoon highs will reach the 80s.<\/p>\n

Highs<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a much bigger chill expected to arrive as a strong cold front is set to move into the region starting next Thursday, bringing the coolest temperatures Central Florida has seen this season. <\/p>\n

Morning lows on Halloween are forecast to drop into the 40s and 50s!<\/p>\n

Halloween wake up temperatures<\/p>\n

Daytime highs next Friday are predicted to reach the 70s across much of Central Florida.<\/p>\n

Halloween Forecast<\/p>\n

The front is expected to mark a quick turn from the recent warmth and could mean a particularly chilly start for trick-or-treaters as Halloween approaches. <\/p>\n

Weekend warms up<\/p>\n

Before that big cooldown settles in, the weekend is looking warmer and just a bit humid. <\/p>\n

Afternoon highs across the region will stick in the low to mid-80s through Sunday, with mostly sunny skies predicted for Saturday.<\/p>\n

Winds out of the northeast are expected to stay breezy, generally in the 10 to 15 mph range, with gusts along the coast potentially hitting 20 to 25 mph. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re headed to the beach, the risk of rip currents will remain high through Sunday night.<\/p>\n

While most of the weekend will be dry, there\u2019s a 20% chance of isolated showers early Sunday morning, mainly south and east of the I-4 corridor. Spotty showers could carry on into Sunday afternoon, but significant rainfall isn\u2019t in the forecast.<\/p>\n
