ORLANDO, Fla. — Temperatures keep on climbing with highs topping out in the mid to low 80s inland and upper 70s Wednesday afternoon.

We saw a lot of sunshine, but a few spotty showers did develop late in the day. A similar setup is in store for Thursday and really the rest of the week as high pressure remains in control and keeps our pattern stagnant.

Mostly clear skies are in the forecast through the overnight hours. Temperatures will be slightly warmer than previous nights, but still drop into the low 60s for most. There’s a slight chance again for some patchy fog as we head toward daybreak.

A deep area of high pressure sitting over the state isn’t forecast to move anytime soon, and will help deflect any fronts to our north. Moisture streaming in from the south under the high will provide us the opportunity for areas of fog the next several nights.

Fog burns off early each morning with plenty of sunshine and just a few clouds mixed in from time to time.

We’ll continue adding a couple degrees to our afternoon highs as we climb into the low to mid-80s Thursday, then mid to upper 80s from Friday through much of next week. We’re also forecasting a dry sky ahead with no significant rainfall for at least the next week to 10 days.

Beach and Boating Conditions

Surfers get ready for a decent round of surf to kick off Thursday. Fair conditions are expected the first half of the day with wave heights of three to four feet and a lingering east to east-southeast swell.

The afternoon forecast calls for more poor to occasionally fair conditions. The rip current threat is still elevated the next couple days so use extra caution when in the Atlantic.
