ORLANDO, Fla. – The front having moved across our state yesterday evening into this morning has now made its way into the Atlantic, leaving us beneath high pressure.
Some leftover moisture and the sinking provided by that clockwise spin overhead produced some patchy dense fog throughout our area Sunday morning and will do the same for our interior counties tomorrow. Confidence is high this will carryover into Tuesday as well, as we return to the grind and kids get back to school in most counties as well.
Thankfully, we aren’t tracking any significant weather players in the immediate future for your week ahead. It looks like fog and warmer afternoon temperatures will remain the talk of the town as we go through the next five days together.
We will have some twists and turns ahead though, as we look beyond the next couple of days deeper into the month of January.
Subtropical ridging takes hold of our local weather pattern starting as early as tomorrow afternoon, as our daytime high’s surge at least 3-5 degrees above the norm.
We’ll follow that stride throughout the workweek, and then weekend brings some change. This change could be rather abrupt and even dramatic if current trends continue.
A strong winter storm is slated to develop during the latter half of the week, sometime late Thursday into Friday. The storm in of itself won’t have any influence on us, however it will begin the familiar tugging on cold air from up north across the heart of the lower forty-eight.
By late Saturday and the first half of Sunday, our next cold front will be dropping by for a visit.
Rain chances are still a bit up in the air, but with warmer temps situated out ahead of the front and quality moisture being pulled in along its leading edge suggest a few of us could get some more much-needed rain.
The temperatures are the primary detail we’re monitoring. With as fast as we raced towards above average territory we could plummet right back to below average temperatures, and perhaps stay there for a little while with some fluctuating going on beyond that.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves! We have a couple days of morning fog and warmer temps to get through before we can start really discussing another big-time Orlando cooldown.
