It's the weekend! Let's see what the forecast will look like for Central Florida:

  • Highs may climb to the mid-90s
  • Hot and steamy weekend
  • Rain chances increase

Overnight will remain sticky with temperatures backing off into the middle 70s. A hot and steamy weekend is in the cards, with rain chances slowly ticking up. Highs top the low to mid 90s, but our feels like temp will remain above 100.

High pressure continues dominating our weather, with a hint of dry air in the mid and upper atmosphere, but drawing up moisture from the south. As the sea breezes collide, we could see a few strong storms develop.

Deeper moisture is pulled north ahead of a front set to stall across north Georgia this weekend, and with daily sea breeze collisions, rain chances will gradually climb. We have a 30 percent storm chance Saturday, then a 40-50 percent chance from Sunday into next Thursday. Highs stay in the low to mid 90s, with a heat index over 100. The tropics remain fairly quiet, with a low in the Bay of Campeche running a very low chance of development.

A long easterly swell will keep the rip current risk moderate this weekend along our east coast. Poor to fair conditions are expected for surfers, with waist high sets possible at a few of the better spots. Waves generally stay around knee high, with an onshore flow. The UV index remains extreme, with a sunburn possible in minutes.
