ORLANDO, Fla. -- A line of storms quickly raced across the state in the very early morning hours followed by redeveloping rain and rumbles, bringing needed rain to much of Central Florida.

Although we had two severe thunderstorm warnings for Marion County, no wind or hail was reported.

The last line of downpours has quickly moved off the coast, with our sky clearing and lows dipping into the 50s areawide overnight.

High pressure will build over much of the southern U.S. the next few days and will encompass the entire Southeast through most of next week. This pattern favors dry conditions with not a drop of rain in the forecast for at least the next six to 10 days.

Anticipate a fantastic Friday under a sunny sky, lower dew points, and highs in the low 80s.

More sunshine is in store Saturday as temperatures climb slightly above average into the mid and upper 80s.

The heat returns starting Sunday with a mostly sunny sky and highs either side of 90. It looks like we’re into the lower 90s Monday through Wednesday and close to 90 again on Thursday. Models hint at a sprinkle Thursday, but this will change as we get closer.

Beach and Boating Conditions

Poor to fair conditions are in the cards to round out the week. Wave heights are still a low ankle- to knee-high with an east-southeast to southeast swell. The rip current threat is low, so enjoy sea surface temperatures in the low to mid-70s if you’re out for a swim along our Atlantic coast.
