ORLANDO, Fla. — Areas of shallow fog burned off by mid-morning as the late March sun began heating us up.

Afternoon highs were back into the mid-80s right along the east coast and lower 90s for most of our inland communities. Warm and muggy conditions are with us again tonight although only isolated pockets of fog are possible.

We remain in an area of high pressure through early next week which will keep us 10 to 15 degrees above average in the temperature department with bone dry conditions around too.

Sunshine heats us quickly Saturday through Monday as highs soar into record territory in the low to mid-90s. The dry and hot conditions mean a heightened fire danger for several days.

A cold front dropping into the southeastern U.S. will bring us some welcome relief from the heat by late next week. Ahead of it, we'll see highs in the upper 80s and low 90s Tuesday.

A few isolated to widely scattered showers are possible overnight Tuesday into pre-sunrise Wednesday as the front swings by us. Highs Wednesday top out in the mid-80s, then dip into the lower 80s by Thursday with overnight lows in the 50s in many neighborhoods.

Beach and Boating Conditions

The southeast winds will make it a bit choppy for boaters heading out on the water Friday. Expect a moderate chop on the Intracoastal.

Offshore, seas of 3 to 4 feet are anticipated. The risk of rip currents in the surf zone is moderate.
