ORLANDO, Fla. – A stretch of beautiful, dry weather is settling in as a steady warming trend sends temperatures near record high later this week.
Sunday
A breezy easterly wind will take over the area for your Sunday as high pressure builds along the East Coast. This will setup the area for another breezy day with little to no rain.
Wind speeds will increase through the afternoon between 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph at times. Temperatures in the meantime will hold near normal in the upper 70s along the coast to low 80s inland.
Marine Hazards
The biggest concern in the forecast will be along the coast for beachgoers and boaters who are planning on venturing into the water.
A High Risk of rip currents continues today and into early this week with rough surf.
Boating conditions are also rough, with seas running 5 to 7 feet. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect offshore, and even nearshore waters will stay choppy. Conditions will gradually improve by Tuesday as winds and seas begin to settle.
Next Week
High pressure stays firmly in control through the workweek, keeping conditions warm and very dry.
As winds die down through the week, temperatures are expected to climb quickly.
By the start of the week, temperatures should hold in the low 80s along the coast mid 80s inland through midweek.
By late week and into next weekend, temperatures climb even higher with highs nearing 90 and approaching records for some.
