MARQUISE. DEPENDING UPON THE TIMING OF ALL THOSE SHOWERS. THAT\u2019S CORRECT. YOU MAY WANT TO GET THAT. EASTER EGG HUNT OUT OF THE WAY NICE AND EARLY BECAUSE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON WE\u2019LL BE WATCHING A GROWING CHANCE FOR STORMS. TEMPERATURES WILL STAY WARM ALL THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND, INCLUDING HIGHS IN THE MID 80S TODAY AND SATURDAY, AND MAYBE EVEN JUST A TOUCH WARMER BEFORE THE RAIN BEGINS TO MOVE IN ON SUNDAY. ULTIMATELY, WE\u2019LL WATCH THAT MOISTURE BEGIN TO GROW AS YOUR WEEKEND DOES PROGRESS. RIGHT NOW ACROSS THE COAST, IT IS AMAZING OUTDOORS. 80 DEGREES ON THE DOT HERE IN DAYTONA. WE\u2019LL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THOUGH, IS THIS EAST COAST BREEZE. AND THAT\u2019S GOING TO KEEP THE RIP CURRENT RISK HIGH ALL THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF YOUR WEEKEND COMING UP. TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR TEMPERATURES ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. IT\u2019S A TIGHT KNIT GROUPING RIGHT IN THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S. IN FACT, THE ONLY PLACE I SEE IN THE UPPER 70S IS TITUSVILLE, LOWER 80S EVERYWHERE ELSE. BUT HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT THE WINDS, RIGHT? SOME OF US ARE A LITTLE BIT FASTER THAN OTHERS, LIKE WINTER HAVEN. ALSO, IF YOU\u2019RE IN THE ORLANDO METRO, WINDS ARE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 10 AND 20MPH. WE\u2019LL HAVE THOSE OCCASIONAL GUSTS UPWARDS OF 20 TODAY, BUT HERE\u2019S THAT HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK, RIGHT? SO FROM PALM COAST ALL THE WAY DOWN ACROSS I-95 THROUGH SOUTHERN BREVARD COUNTY, WE DO CARRY THAT HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK ACROSS YOUR WEEKEND INTO SUNDAY. YOUR STRONGEST WINDS, THOSE ARE ALONG THE COASTLINE RIGHT NOW. EDGEWATER IN VOLUSIA COUNTY, 24 MILE PER HOUR CONDITIONS. PORT ORANGE 23. YOU SEE THAT EASTERLY BREEZE THAT\u2019S KEEPING THE WAVE HEIGHTS A LITTLE BIT HIGH. AND OF COURSE, YOUR RIP CURRENT RISK AS WELL WITH THE SYSTEM OF HIGH PRESSURE OFF IN THE ATLANTIC DIRECTING THAT TRAFFIC WITH THAT SOUTH AND EASTERLY WIND. SO IF YOU\u2019RE ANYWHERE WEST OF I-95, THAT\u2019S WHERE THE BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IS GOING TO LIE. SO STILL A GREAT BEACH DAY FOR US HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. THOSE OF US INLAND, THOUGH, MAY SEE A COUPLE SHOWERS HERE AND THERE. ONCE YOU MOVE PAST THE I-4 CORRIDOR, THE CHANCE WILL GROW IN THE AFTERNOON. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT THE STATE ROAD 11 IN VOLUSIA COUNTY. FURTHER TOWARDS THE SOUTH ACROSS LAKE MARY. YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS OFF AND ON AGAIN OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST HALF AN HOUR. LOOKS LIKE WE HAD A STRONG BAND OF RAIN PUSHING ACROSS THE COAST INTO MONTVERDE. THAT\u2019S NOW DISSIPATING OVER LAKE APOPKA THERE. MEADOW WOODS. YOU GUYS HAVE A SHOWER INCHING IN FROM THE EAST, BUT THE FURTHER WEST YOU GO, AS I MENTIONED TODAY, THAT\u2019S WHERE THE BETTER CHANCE FOR RAIN IS GOING TO BE. ACTUALLY, NORTH AND WEST. WE\u2019LL SEE THOSE CHANCES GROW THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF YOUR AFTERNOON. LET\u2019S PRESS PLAY ON FUTURECAST. WE SEE THAT EASTERLY PUSH OF SHOWERS COULD HAVE A SPRINKLE INSIDE THE METRO AT TWO AND 3:00 LEESBURG CLERMONT. YOU GUYS ARE NOW GETTING IN ON THE ACTION PAST THREE. BUT ONCE WE START TO SEE THAT SUN BEGIN TO SET, WE\u2019LL LOSE SOME OF THE HEATING ELEMENTS FROM THE AFTERNOON AND ALSO LOSE THAT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS. SO EXPECT TO BE DRY OVERNIGHT. AFTERNOON HIGHS, AS I MENTIONED, SHOULD BE BACK IN THE MID 80S. FOR THOSE OF US IN THE METRO WARMER, THE FURTHER INLAND YOU GO, 87 FOR YOUR HIGH IN OCALA TODAY. AND THAT\u2019S RIGHT AROUND THE SAME TIME THAT WE\u2019LL SEE THOSE RAIN SHOWERS BEGIN TO POP UP. ULTIMATELY, THAT WILL COOL YOU DOWN AT 3:00, BUT THEN WE\u2019RE BACK IN THE 80S AFTER THAT, DRYING OUT ENTERING THE EVENING. THIS WEEKEND\u2019S HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOW 85 FOR SATURDAY, 86 DEGREES ON SUNDAY. AS WE MOVE ACROSS THE WEEKEND, HERE COMES THE MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH AND THE EAST AHEAD OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING IN. WHICH IS WHY ON SUNDAY WE\u2019LL SEE THAT CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. BEST CHANCE DOES EXIST RIGHT AROUND THE I FOUR QUARTER. SO IF YOU\u2019RE IN ORLANDO, PREPARE FOR SOME RAIN ON SUNDAY IN THE AFTERNOON AND THEN IT\u2019S A LATE SEASON COLD FRONT COMING IN, KEEPING YOU A LITTLE BIT COOLER ENTERING THE WORKWEEK 74 DEGREES ON TUESDAY 75, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY. THAT\u2019S WHEN WE START TO WARM UP UPPER 70S THERE. BUT WE\u2019RE IN THE 80S TODAY, TOMORROW AND SUNDAY WITH THAT CHANCE FOR RAIN ON EASTER. AND THEN WE\u2019LL KEEP THOSE\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Easter weekend forecast: Toasty temps, showers expected in Central Florida<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768911270_880_wesh.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WESH logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 1:03 PM EDT Apr 3, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wesh.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWetter weather begins to take shape ahead of a slow-moving cold front this weekend, which could affect Easter events.
