Central Florida can expect rising rain chances this weekend as cold front approaches

Cloudy skies, gusty winds, morning fog expected

ORLANDO, Fla. – Changes in the weather are expected this weekend, thanks to a cold front moving into Central Florida.

A stalled frontal boundary across the peninsula is expected to increase rain chances starting Saturday, with more showers rolling in as the cold front pushes through on Sunday. The forecast calls for scattered heavy rain and you’ll likely notice more clouds than sun throughout the weekend.

Along with the rain, you can anticipate some gusty winds as the front advances. Winds will pick up through the day, so outdoor plans might need a second look.

These conditions are typical ahead of a frontal boundary and could stick around as the rain moves through.
