Getting even warmer in Central Florida for final week of 2021

ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Florida will continue to crank up the thermostat as we close out 2021. Highs Monday with a mix of clouds and sunshine get back into the lower 80s.

The rip current threat, although never zero, will turn much lower Monday as the wind remains out of the southwest. Highs at the beach will be in the mid-to-upper 70s.
