Most of the week ahead will also be warm and dry, but by Thursday, the weather pattern changes significantly. A strong cold front will move through, bringing rain and storm chances to Central Florida.
A few of these storms could be strong as the front moves through. While there are still timing differences as to when the coldest air settles into Central Florida, much colder air moves in for Friday and next weekend.
Beach forecast:
Life-threatening rip currents continue to be present along the east-coast beaches through the weekend. If you plan on going in the water, use extreme caution.
