Good morning, Central Florida.\u00a0Here’s what you need to know today.<\/p>\n

Your Weather Planner<\/p>\n

Drier air will start to build into Central Florida for Friday, putting an end to the soggy stretch we experienced the last few days. While east to northeast winds off the Atlantic could send in a stray shower or two, coverage will be spotty and intensity much lighter.<\/p>\n

Highs on Friday will peak around 80 degrees with low 80s following for both weekend days. As this sunny, dry pattern gets underway, we find that it’s here to stay at least through this time next week, as our extended forecast holds ample sun and little to no rain as temperatures climb even more next week.<\/p>\n
