ORLANDO, Fla. – After a polar vortex froze most of the United States and brought chilly temperatures to Florida, the Orlando area will start to warm up.
Orlando will see a high of 74 degrees Friday. The average high on this date is 72. The overnight low will be near 60.
"More humidity in the upper levels as well as an area of low pressure trying to build in from the Gulf of Mexico will help increase rain chances Friday and Saturday," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said. "We will not see a risk of thunderstorms, although we can’t rule out a little bit of thunder and lightning."
The coverage of rain will be 40 percent Friday and Saturday.
