Strong breeze persists in Central Florida. Take early look at Halloween forecast

No big cooldown expected for Halloween in Orlando area

Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. – A strong east breeze will be in place for another day across Central Florida as a large ridge of high pressure over the eastern seaboard continues its control over the area.

For Wednesday, we will see a bit more available moisture at the surface, increasing the threat for a few spotty showers and scattered clouds. Rain coverage will be largely isolated with a 10-20% chance. Brief showers and sprinkles will weaken quickly as they move further inland. However, a few isolated showers can’t be ruled out for interior locations.

Conditions will be windy, with sustained winds of 15-20 mph from the east. At times, gusts could reach 25-30 mph through the day, especially along the coast.

Speaking of the coast, the steady onshore wind will keep a heightened threat for dangerous rip currents along all of our Atlantic beaches. Boaters will also run into issues today as seas will be 6–9 feet. A small-craft advisory will remain in effect until Thursday.

Average high: 83

Average low: 65

Sunrise: 7:32 a.m.

Sunset: 6:46 p.m.

Our current high-pressure setup will remain anchored for the next few days, keeping these conditions the same through the end of the week.

Long-range models hint at a slight increase of rain by early next week with the approach of a new cold front. As of now, no big cooldown is expected through Halloween on Tuesday.

TROPICAL UPDATE

We are still tracking Tammy, which is about 500 miles east-southeast of Bermuda.

As of the Wednesday morning update, Tammy has strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane, with sustained winds of 100mph.

Tammy is expected to undergo an extratropical transition as it merges with a cold front over the Atlantic.

Models are in agreement that the storm will weaken as early as Thursday.
