Sunday turns up the heat a bit more, but the morning could start off with areas of patchy dense fog\u2014so take it slow if you\u2019re out early.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Once that clears, expect a beautiful setup: light winds, plenty of sunshine, and a noticeably drier feel. Highs will climb into the mid to upper 80s across the region, with west winds around 5\u201315 mph.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow&#8217;s highs<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">As we close out the final weekend of spring break, beachgoers along the Atlantic coast should stay alert\u2014a high rip current risk remains in place. Breaking waves of 2 to 5 feet could also lead to minor beach erosion. If you\u2019re heading into the water, it\u2019s safest to swim near a lifeguard.<\/p>\n<p>Rip current risk<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Fire weather is another concern. Sensitive conditions will persist through Monday across east central Florida due to very low humidity. <\/p>\n<p>Relative humidity<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Relative humidity is just how much moisture is in the air compared to how much it could hold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Think of the air like a sponge:<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s holding a lot of water, the relative humidity is high (humid, sticky feeling) <\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s holding very little water, the relative humidity is low (dry air) <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Simple example:<\/p>\n<p>100% humidity = the air is full of moisture <\/p>\n<p>50% humidity = the air is holding about half of what it can <\/p>\n<p>20% humidity = very dry air <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">In weather terms, low relative humidity dries things out quickly, which is why fire risk goes up when humidity is low.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">While Lake County has lifted its burn ban, others remain in effect\u2014Brevard and Polk counties still have restrictions, and in Orange County, burning yard debris is always prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>Burn Bans<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">What a burn ban means:<\/p>\n<p>No outdoor burning, including campfires and bonfires<\/p>\n<p>No burning of yard waste or debris<\/p>\n<p>No unauthorized fireworks or open flames<\/p>\n<p>Grilling is usually allowed but should be done with caution<\/p>\n<p>Violations can result in fines or other penalties<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Looking ahead to the workweek, the warm pattern sticks around. However, our next chance for rain arrives Tuesday into Wednesday as a front approaches and potentially stalling. <\/p>\n<p>Rain chances<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Expect breezy conditions with scattered showers, but temperatures will remain on the toasty side.<\/p>\n<p>Highs<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORLANDO, FLa. \u2013 Central Florida just wrapped up a gorgeous day, with Orlando officially hitting a warm 81\u00b0.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":200919,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29,508,9592,2576,4715],"class_list":["post-200918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-forecast","tag-latest-forecast","tag-video-forecast","tag-weather-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200918\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
