Good evening, Central Florida. We're wrapping up the day for you with the most important stories you need to know and your weather outlook.

Your Weather Planner

After a gorgeous week, clouds will return along with the chance for a few light spotty showers tomorrow.

The clouds and small rain chance are associated with a weak cold front that will pass through Central Florida to start the weekend. The best chance for a little bit of light rain will be before noon on Saturday. The coverage and chance is low, but a few light showers or sprinkles will be possible.

The front will likely stall out near Central Florida. While the front is nearby, clouds will linger throughout most of tomorrow and even into Sunday. There could be a spot sprinkle or two on Sunday, but the chance will be extremely low and most neighborhoods will be dry.

Temperatures will only fall a few degrees with the front moving through the region. Temperatures on tomorrow will reach the low to mid-70s while on Sunday they will be back into the middle to upper 70s.

Highs: Low to Mid-70s  Lows: Around 60 Rain Coverage: 20% A.M.
