ORLANDO, Fla. – A cooler Wednesday is on tap in Central Florida before a brief warmup and rain this weekend.
This Week
Wednesday stays noticeably cooler behind the recent front, with low clouds lingering at times and a light north-to-northwest breeze.
Temperatures will turn even cooler Wednesday night, dropping into the upper 40s northwest of I-4 and mid- to upper 50s for most areas, with low 60s along the immediate coast.

Thursday and Friday remain dry as high pressure weakens overhead, but conditions will stay calm and pleasant.
Warmer weather settles in through the rest of the week, with highs closing in on 80 degrees by Friday and lows in the mid- to low 60s.
This Weekend
Meanwhile, the next Gulf low begins developing, pulling moisture toward Florida ahead of a new front expected to reach the Panhandle early Saturday.
Rain chances return this weekend as that next front approaches. It stays north of the area during the day Saturday, but moisture deepens enough to bring scattered showers (30–50%) from Orlando north Saturday afternoon and evening.

Next Week
Monday and Tuesday turn cooler behind the front, falling into the upper 60s.
A reinforcing shot of cooler air Monday night brings an even chillier start Tuesday morning, with lows dipping into the mid- to upper 40s inland and low to mid-50s along the coast.
