ORLANDO, Fla. – High pressure remains parked over Central Florida, setting up a stretch of warm and quiet weather through the rest of the week.
The weather pattern is expected to hold firm through Saturday before our next cold front ushers in cooler changes.

For the third day in a row, a dense fog advisory remains in effect for inland counties until 9 a.m.
Sunshine will dominate after any early-morning fog clears, as temperatures continue to climb. Afternoon highs will run well above average, in the upper 70s to mid-80s
Some spots could flirt with record highs on Friday and Saturday as temperatures could reach 83-84 degrees.
Weekend Changes
Attention then turns to a cold front that’s expected to approach late in the weekend. Forecast confidence on timing has improved, with the front moving in by late Sunday.

This means Sunday is likely to stay warm, with temperatures once again reaching the low 80s ahead of the front. Rain chances remain limited as the weak front tracks overhead.
Next Week
Behind the front, a modest cool-down arrives Monday and continues into the middle of next week. Highs are expected to dip into the upper 60s to low 70s, with lows into the 40s.
Dry weather remains a growing concern. With little to no rainfall expected through the next several days, already dry to drought-affected areas could worsen.
There are some signs for slightly higher rain chances about a week out as some moisture makes it way back into the area. But at this point, confidence is still low.
