Highs Wednesday in Orlando will not feel all that warm due to the wind, with temperatures running below normal in the low to mid-60s.

Although we will see mostly sunny and dry conditions on Wednesday, we can’t rule out a pesky isolated shower from clipping the coastline.

A large ridge of high pressure is expected to remain the main weather feature through the weekend, ushering in a warmer and stable setup through the weekend. A gradual warmup begins Thursday, with highs in the mid- to low 70s and the low 80s by Sunday.

Overnight temps will also rise through this time period, with lows in the 50s and 60s.

Our next best chance of rain and a few isolated storms will be early next week as a new cold front approaches Central Florida. At this point, the forecast calls for rain chances of 20-30%.
