ORLANDO, Fla. — The first day of October saw breezy to windy conditions, with scattered showers and partly sunny skies.

Wednesday will be similar to today, with highs in the mid to upper 80s along the coast and near 90 inland. The winds won't be quite as strong, but the chance of scattered showers remains the same.

Skies will be partly sunny once again, with a light breeze from the northeast.

By Thursday, high pressure moving more east will decrease our onshore flow and knock rain chances back out of the forecast for the end of our work week.

Moisture is expected to increase by the weekend, increasing the rain chances back up for a few days. Winds will begin to pick back up on Friday once again.

The high temperatures will remain in the upper 80s and low 90s with overnight lows continuing in the mid to low 70s.

Tropical Update

In the tropics, Hurricane Lorenzo continued toward the Azores in the eastern Atlantic Tuesday. Hurricane warnings continue for the islands. The islands will experience tropical storm-force winds overnight and hurricane-force winds early Wednesday morning.

There are two other areas of interest that could develop in the next few days. One is in the western Caribbean and the other is east of the Bahamas. Only a low potential at this point. Regardless, no concern for Florida.

The hurricane season continues through November 30.

Beach and Surf Conditions

At the coast, long period swells from Lorenzo will keep the rip current threat high and there is a small craft advisory in effect through the afternoon on Wednesday.
