ORLANDO, Fla. – After a stretch of unsettled weather, things are finally starting to calm down as drier air filters in. While rain chances drop significantly, the strong onshore breeze will stay in place.
Rain chances will remain low at 20%, with only a few quick-moving showers possible, during the afternoon and evening.
With more sunshine and less cloud cover, temperatures will warm back up into the upper 70s to low 80s.
However, even with the nicer weather, beach conditions remain dangerous as the gusty winds continue between 25 and 30 mph.
The threat of strong rip currents will continue, along with breaking waves and rough seas. A high surf advisory and small craft advisory remain in effect through Monday.
This is one of those setups where the weather improves faster than the ocean does.
Weekend
The overall pattern turns much more pleasant heading into the weekend, with mostly dry conditions, plenty of sunshine, and highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.
Next week
Looking ahead to next week, high pressure stays in control, keeping conditions mostly dry with very low rain chances and a steady warming trend.
Temperatures will climb through the 80s early in the week, with some inland spots potentially approaching 90 degrees by late week.
