ORLANDO, Fla. — Hot temperatures returned to Central Florida Friday with highs in the mid-90s. Melbourne even broke the old record of 95 degrees, reaching 96 degrees. 

As drier air continued to move in, we had plenty of sunshine and no rain. Expect similar conditions this weekend before a few showers move back in early next work week.

Mostly clear skies are in the forecast through the overnight hours. Temperatures will be mild and a bit muggy, falling into the mid to low 70s.

Lots of sunshine will start out our Saturday and continue into the afternoon.

This sun will help to heat our temperatures up fast. Highs will be back in the mid-90s with the humidity making it feel closer to 100 degrees. The humidity will not be as high as Friday, but still making it feel a bit hotter.

Sunday will continue to be rain free and hot. Next week, highs will drop back into the upper 80s to low 90s as a few afternoon showers and storms return.

Beach and Surf Conditions

Beach and boating conditions have been improving and look much better this weekend. There will still be a slight chop on the water and an elevated rip current threat to keep in mind.

Make sure to grab the sunscreen! The UV index will be very high.

Tropical Update

In the tropics, Dorian made landfall in Cape Hatteras, NC Friday morning. This system is weakening quickly as it races away from the United States.

It may still impact Nova Scotia and Newfoundland this weekend and advisories have been issued.

We are still watching Gabrielle well out in the Atlantic. No concerns that this storm will impact land. There are two other areas of interest for development, but no threats to Florida at this time.

Hurricane season runs through November 30.
