ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando reached 92 degrees Tuesday afternoon, making it the 18th day in October with a high temperature in the 90s.

The afternoon was humid, with a few scattered showers throughout Central Florida. Overnight conditions will be in the low 70s and partly cloudy.

Patchy fog is expected once again as we head toward daybreak. Visibility may drop in some spots to half a mile.

Wednesday will be similar, with early morning fog, then a few scattered showers and storms during the afternoon. Highs will once again be in the upper 80s, and low 90s for parts of Central Florida.

There may be a break in sight from the hot and humid weather we've been experiencing. A large ridge of high pressure that has been sitting over South Florida will begin to move north out of the region late Wednesday, which will pull in moisture from the Caribbean and keep rain chances in the forecast for the next few days.

This continued moisture will keep humidity levels high, with our temperatures staying in the upper 80s and low 90s through Halloween. Overnight temperatures will continue to be in the low to mid 70s for most of Central Florida.

Once that warm front moves away, however, a cold front that is currently over the Midwest will sweep across Florida, bringing cooler temperatures for the weekend. Starting on Friday, highs will be in the low to mid 80s and overnight temperatures will dip into the mid-60s. Rain chances should lower slightly, and Sunday may even be rain free.

Tropical Update

Currently, there are no areas of interest to Florida or the rest of the U.S.
