Highs near 90, rain continue in Central Florida

Will rain let up in time for Halloween?

ORLANDO, Fla. – Ready for more rain? Ready or not, here it comes.

"We are pinpointing a front that will act as a focal point for scattered showers and storms for the next couple of days," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said.

Orlando-area forecast

Rain chances are at 40% for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but taper off in time for Halloween on Thursday, when they drop to 30%.

Expect temperatures in the mid-70s Thursday evening, with rain chances only at 20%.

Rain chances remain lower but still in the forecast through the weekend.

"We will see a 20% coverage of rain for Friday, Saturday and for Sunday, with some drier air working in," Bridges said.

According to Bridges, the average high in Orlando is 82 degrees, a few degrees cooler than Central Florida is expected to feel this week.

Expect a high of 90 on Monday and a high in the upper 80s Tuesday through the end of the week.

"Again, for trick-or-treating, temperatures will gradually cool into the mid-70s, while some spots could still be in the upper 70s for trick-or-treat time, depending on the exact time you decide to go," Bridges said.

Temperatures in Orlando Sunday reached a high of 90 degrees, with little accompanying rainfall.

Orlando saw only a trace of rain, putting the deficit at 3.82 inches since Jan. 1 and 1.09 inches since Sept. 1.
