News Summary
Orlando experiences pleasant weather this weekend, but humidity will rise as Sunday approaches, bringing with it showers and potential storms. King Tides will lead to Sunny-Day Flooding, and a tropical wave is being monitored. Beachgoers should be cautious of rip currents. The forecast for early next week indicates continued warm temperatures with a chance of rain. Residents are advised to stay vigilant as weather conditions evolve.
Orlando is set for a beautiful Saturday, with comfortable temperatures expected to continue throughout the day. However, as Sunday approaches, an increase in humidity is anticipated, bringing with it showers and possible storms.
This weekend, the Florida Keys may begin to experience on-and-off showers as early as Sunday morning. Additionally, scattered storms are predicted for the Dade, Broward, and beach areas later in the day. The risk of rip currents will persist along shorelines throughout the weekend, presenting a safety concern for beachgoers.
On Sunday, King Tides will lead to Sunny-Day Flooding, which is expected to continue through Thursday. The tides may exacerbate any rain-induced flooding conditions. A tropical wave, designated as AL-98, is currently being monitored for potential development as it moves toward the Caribbean. Weather models are showing differing predictions regarding the development of tropical wave AL-98; however, it is likely that moisture will begin to flow into the Caribbean from this system. Fortunately, there are no models predicting any incoming tropical systems for South Florida in the week ahead.
As for Orlando’s immediate weather forecast, tonight the skies will be partly cloudy and breezy, with a low temperature around 75°F. There is a 20% chance of rain in the Keys by sunrise. On Sunday, expect mostly sunny skies, and as humidity rises, temperatures will reach a high of 87°F. Rain chances increase to 20% in the Keys during the morning and escalate to 40% in the northern areas by the afternoon.
Looking Ahead: Weather for Early Next Week
The forecast for Monday indicates mostly sunny conditions with scattered storms possible, maintaining a 30% chance of rain and another high of 87°F. Tuesday will see a similar trend with mostly sunny skies, a 30% chance of rain, and a high again reaching 87°F.
Additional Weather Insights
Current air quality remains satisfactory, with low air pollution and flu risk reported. Overnight temperatures in Orlando may drop into the mid-60s, while Gainesville and Ocala may see temperatures in the upper 50s. A cold front is also expected to approach, altering wind patterns and potentially bringing scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms.
As the cold front progresses, it is likely to cool temperatures in the region, with highs forecasted to remain in the mid to upper 80s on Sunday. A reinforcing cold front is anticipated midweek, which could provide an additional drop in temperatures.
