Our brief warmup continues into the weekend after a bit of a chilly start tomorrow. Temperatures in the morning will be in the 40s to lower 50s. If you’re out early for a morning walk or run, you may want a light jacket. Skies will be mostly sunny to start before some clouds mix with the sunshine through the afternoon.

Temperatures tomorrow will then warm back into the upper 70s to lower 80s. We stay rain-free heading into Sunday. The morning on Sunday will start out milder with lows around 60. Southwesterly winds will push temperatures into the low to mid-80s for the afternoon.

Clouds will then increase into the evening on Sunday ahead of our next cold front. The rain looks to hold off until late Sunday night. A small line of showers and maybe an embedded gusty thunderstorm will roll through central Florida during the early morning hours of Monday. This line of showers will move out by sunrise and skies will dry out through Monday afternoon.
