Orlando-area forecast

"We are in for an incredible weekend across Central Florida," Bridges said.

Friday will be sunny, with a high of 90. Orlando will see highs near 90 for the next several days.

As high pressure continues to dominate, expect dry air and very low rain chances on Friday and Saturday.

"By Sunday, we gradually increase a little bit of moisture into the atmosphere, leading to a 20% chance for a couple of showers," he said.

Rain chances will stay at 20% Monday before reaching 30% Tuesday through Thursday.
