ORLANDO, Fla. – High temperatures across Central Florida will once again be in the upper 90s, prompting a heat advisory for the entire region.
Expect the heat index in Orlando to climb to 112 degrees. The average high temperature on this date in Orlando is 92.
Orlando reached 99 degrees on Friday, topping its previous record of 98, which was set in 2007.
The record high in Sanford is also 98, set in 2006, but that was topped on Friday with a high of 100. Other areas could also reach record highs.
The heat advisory lasts until 7 p.m.
Rain chances will be at 30% Friday, 50% Saturday and 60% on Sunday.
The heat wave will continue into the weekend as a big ridge of high pressure in the upper-levels of the atmosphere is pressing down and compressing the air, causing extreme heat.
Saturday’s high in Orlando could hit 98.
Low 90s are expected by the end of next week.
