Another cold front set to move through Central Florida. Here’s when

Stronger front moving through late week

ORLANDO, Fla. – It is finally starting to feel like Florida fall across the area as a weak cold front cleared the region on Tuesday. In its wake, a ridge of high pressure builds in, cranking up our onshore winds through the day. Expect sustained winds around 10 to 15 mph, with gusts possibly reaching up to 25 mph.

While most areas will stay dry, there’s a chance of isolated showers along the Atlantic waters, with a few showers possibly clipping the coastline through the afternoon and early evening. Although conditions are starting to feel nicer, temperatures remain slightly above average in the low 80s and overnight lows ranging from the mid 60s to low 70s.

LATE WEEK-WEEKEND:

A stronger cold front will clear Florida late Thursday into Friday, ushering in drier and cooler air for the weekend. Along the front, an isolated shower can’t be ruled out as it moves overhead.

By Friday and into the weekend, skies will clear with temperatures finally cooling back to normal. Expect highs in the low to mid 80s on Thursday, cooling to the upper 70s to low 80s on Friday, with overnight lows dipping into the 60s. The coolest morning looks to be Saturday with some areas waking up in the 50s.

BEACHES:

Beachgoers beware as hazardous conditions will be possible due to increasing swells will create hazardous conditions. Rip current risk will be high at all beaches, and surf will be rough, with waves possibly reaching 4 to 6 feet. The rip current risk will stay high through Thursday, but the surf may calm a bit. High tides could lead to minor coastal flooding, especially during morning hours. A Coastal Flood Advisory could be issued later this week.

NEXT WEEK:

Conditions will begin to warm slightly again by early next week as winds veer more southerly starting Monday. Temperatures will stay in the low 80s, with some areas possibly reaching the mid 80s by Tuesday.

Even though it is mid-November, it is still hurricane season and we can’t let our guard down just yet.

The National Hurricane Center is closely monitoring an area in the central Caribbean (Invest 99L), which has an high chance of development over the next few days. Many computer models keep it in the Caribbean through the weekend as it strengthens into our next named storm, Sara.

A cold front to the north will give “soon-to-be Sara” a lift into the Gulf by early next week. While intensity and timing remains a bit uncertain, interaction with Florida is possible. If that is the case, it would be during the early-to-middle portion of next week, around Nov. 20, give or take.
