ORLANDO, Fla. – A quieter and drier pattern is settling, as temperatures gradually push closer to 90 degrees by the end of the week.
High pressure remains in control all week long, keeping any rain out of the forecast. With dry air in place and plenty of sunshine, expect temperatures to climb into the upper 70s near the coast and low to mid 80s inland.
Breeze will continue kicking up through Monday with winds around 10 to 15 mph inland, with gusts up to 20 to 25 mph. The strong onshore breeze will also keep beach hazards in places with rough surf and a high risk of rip currents.
Through the rest of the week, the stable and dry weather pattern will stay locked in.
High pressure remains nearby, gradually weakening the onshore breeze while keeping skies mostly clear and conditions dry. This combination is forecast to move temperatures above average through the week. Expect highs in the mid 80s by midweek and upper 80s to near 90 degrees inland by Friday near-90 and into the weekend. Some inland spots, like Leesburg, could even challenge record highs during this stretch.
