ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 The front that pushed in over the weekend could just be the season-changer.<\/p>\n
Yes, we will inevitably crank up the thermostat again, but for the next week, the oppressive humidity is on vacation.<\/p>\n
The two big seasons in Florida are the wet and dry season. <\/p>\n
The dry season is characterized by the daily afternoon thunderstorms coming to an end and dew point temperatures routinely below 70 degrees.<\/p>\n
Dew Point<\/p>\n
For perspective, the dew point is typically in the mid-to-upper 70s during the summer months with no real variability.<\/p>\n
The above typically happens after a strong cold front sends temperatures below 60 degrees for the first time in the season.<\/p>\n
Lows Monday 10\/13<\/p>\n
Most of Central Florida woke up in the low-to-mid 60s Sunday and Monday morning with several towns slipping into the 50s north of Orlando.<\/p>\n
This season-changing front typically arrives in mid-October, so if this is in fact the front that ushers in the dry season, it would just be a couple of days early.<\/p>\n
Start of wet & dry seasons<\/p>\n
It will take a couple of weeks to make it official, but it sure looks like this past weekend\u2019s front just sent Central Florida into the dry season. <\/p>\n
Through the next week, dew point temperatures look to remain in the mid 60s signaling the lower humidity. Rain chances will be limited at best.<\/p>\n
Long range guidance does shows a short-lived humidity surge early next week which could put the brakes on this past weekend being the official start.<\/p>\n
Dew point next week<\/p>\n
The green on the map above represents dew point temperatures in the 70s, signaling a more humid airmass.<\/p>\n
The dry season doesn\u2019t mean it will be free from rain as cold front\u2019s typically bring rain as they push through the Florida peninsula.<\/p>\n
The key is the daily rainfall mechanism in the summer, the sea breeze, goes into hibernation until late in the spring.<\/p>\n
