ORLANDO, Fla. – A cold start gives way to a cool and quiet Friday, but winter is far from done.
After a brief warmup this weekend, another cold front brings rain chances Sunday followed by another round of chilly mornings early next week. Frost and cold wind chills again possible across parts of Central Florida.
FRIDAY
It was a chilly start to Friday with morning lows in the low 30s and upper 20s. A Freeze Warning and Cold Weather Advisory remain in effect for most areas through 9 a.m.
High pressure builds in overhead Friday, bringing dry, sunny and cool conditions. Afternoon highs remain below normal, reaching the upper 50s to mid 60s. Clear skies Friday night will allow for temperatures to fall back into the mid 30s to mid 40s. Patchy frost is possible near northwestern counties late Friday night into early Saturday.

WEEKEND
Onshore breeze will help temperatures rebound closer to normal, with highs in the low 70s and lows in the upper 40s to mid 50s.
A cold front approaches Sunday, increasing rain chances to 20–40% ahead of it. Limited moisture and instability should keep storms out of the picture. Behind the front, northwest winds increase and usher in another round of colder, drier air by Sunday night.
NEXT WEEK
High pressure builds in early next week, reinforcing another chilly stretch through at least Wednesday morning.
Breezy conditions may push wind chills below 35 degrees Monday and Tuesday mornings, with the potential for additional Cold Weather Advisories.
Temperatures gradually moderate by midweek, with highs and lows returning closer to seasonal levels by Thursday.
