ORLANDO, Fla. – Could Wednesday be the last hot day of the year in Central Florida?
Orlando will see a high of 87, with rain chances at 60 percent.
Thursday will see a high in the mid-70s, with the chance of rain dropping to 30 percent.
"By Thursday night into early Friday morning, expect most of Central Florida to drop into the 40s," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said.
Highs on Friday will be in the mid-60s, with no chance of rain into next week.
"It does look like this is the front that will dry us out for some time and lead to the dry season," Bridges said.
Temperatures will be in the low 70s over the weekend, with overnight lows in the mid-50s.

A tropical wave and an upper level low are producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms over portions of the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the adjacent waters.
The National Hurricane Center said Wednesday morning that the system has a 10 percent chance of tropical development over the next five days.

This activity will then spread over the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas by Thursday as the system turns to the northwest.
