ORLANDO, Fla. — A warm front lifting north Friday allowed for scattered showers and even a few storms to impact our afternoon.

Even with the rain around, temperatures still reached well above average, in the mid to upper 80s. Several systems over the next week will keep an unsettled weather pattern around for Central. Warm temperatures, high humidity, and a chance for rain each day through at least Halloween.

Mostly cloudy skies will continue through the overnight hours as temperatures fall into the mid to low 70s. While most will be quiet to start our Saturday, there will be a chance for a few spotty showers.

Only a few showers will be possible for our Saturday morning, but will become more widespread for the afternoon. Some heavy rain and gusty wind will be possible with any storm that develops. There will be mostly cloudy skies throughout the day as temperatures climb back into the mid to upper 80s. 

Some drier air may move in briefly on Sunday to lower rain chances slightly, but there will still be some activity to end the weekend. An approaching front will continue to send moisture in our direction, so we’ll keep rain in the forecast for a good portion of next week with temperatures staying warm. Unfortunately, for now, there may be some rain around for Halloween.

Tropical Update

A lot of tropical development occurred Friday with two storms being named. Tropical Storm Olga strengthened in the Gulf of Mexico, but was short-lived and has already become post-tropical. While it may not be tropical as it moves toward land, strong wind and heavy rain will impact Louisiana and Mississippi.

Tropical Storm Pablo also formed near the Azores well out in the Atlantic. This storm may hold strength through the weekend, but will get nowhere near the United States.

Hurricane season runs through November 30.

Beach and Surf Conditions

Surfing conditions will be poor Saturday, with scattered showers and thunderstorms likely throughout the day. The rip current threat will be moderate, with an east-southeasterly windswell and waves of 3 to 4 feet.

If you are boating tomorrow, small crafts are encouraged to exercise caution. Winds will be out of the east at 10 to 20 knots, with seas of 4 to 5 feet and choppy waters on the intracoastal.
