ORLANDO, Fla. — We are going to feel near-record warmth for the middle of the week before a cold front sends our temperatures tumbling again.

We will start out Wednesday dry, but some areas of fog will develop for the morning commute. Temperatures will be in the low to mid-60s to start.

After the fog burns off by mid-morning, we will have a mix of sun and clouds with high temperatures reaching for the middle to upper 80s. Orlando and Leesburg will come close to tying or even breaking a record high.

The warm temperatures hold on for Thursday ahead of the next cold front. Morning temperatures will start out in the 60s and reach the middle to upper 80s for the afternoon. Some spots will come close to record territory again.

If you’re heading out to the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the first half of the day looks good, but it will be the late afternoon and evening that some rain and a few storms could pop up.

The cold front will work through Central Florida late Thursday into Friday morning. This will bring scattered rain and a few thunderstorms. The front will clear Central Florida after sunrise on Friday and this will lead to clearing skies. However, temperatures will fall back into the low to mid-70s to close out the week.

Even cooler air will invade Central Florida by Saturday. Morning temperatures will be in the 40s to start with afternoon highs only reaching the low to mid-60s. A warming trend will start on Sunday with highs returning to the 70s.

Beach and Boating Conditions

Boaters are looking at good conditions for Wednesday. Seas will be running at 2 to 3 feet with a light chop on the intracoastal. The winds will be out of the south, southeast at 5 to 10 knots.

Surfing conditions will be poor once again on Wednesday. There will be a south-southeast windswell with wave heights only running at 1 to 2 feet. Ocean temperatures are in the low to mid-60s. The rip current threat is moderate, so use caution and swim near a lifeguard.
