"As a front that brought rain Tuesday continues to push farther south, it will move out of Central Florida altogether and be stationary in South Florida," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said."There is still low level moisture in place behind the front, leading to patchy fog across Central Florida."

The lowest visibilities will be in Polk County, where a dense fog advisory was issued.

Drier air will eventually move into Central Florida.

"We will expect much sunshine through the day on Wednesday, with a high of 79 degrees," Bridges said.

The average high in Orlando on this date is 75.

"We will be very close to the average on Thursday," Bridges said. "But cool air will be in place by Friday, with a high of 62. Most of the day, we will be in the 50s."

Afternoon highs on Saturday will be in the upper 60s.

"Morning lows will be in the 40s as we start off the weekend, but the high will gradually warm to 77 on Sunday and 80 by Monday," Bridges said.

Tuesday's high temperature reached 86, which was just a couple degrees shy of the record of 88, set in 1928.

"We did see .76 inches of rain Tuesday," Bridges said. "Since January 1, we have 52.54 inches of rain. That puts us at more than 3 inches above in the rain bucket for the entire year."
