Hi Insider, Chief Meteorologist Candace Campos here!
The forecast is looking pretty decent over the next few days. Drier weather settles in for Thursday and Friday as high pressure builds over Florida. Rain chances drop to 20% or less, so most areas will stay dry. Temperatures will slowly warm—reaching the low 80s Thursday and climbing into the mid 80s inland by Friday, while coastal spots stay a little cooler.
By Saturday, a stronger cold front moves into Central Florida, bringing a better chance for rain and much breezier conditions. Rain chances increase to 30–50%, especially along the coast where totals could near an inch. Winds will pick up out of the northeast at 15 to 20 mph, with gusts between 25 and 35 mph—and even higher near the coast.
