Warm and muggy weather forecast for Central Florida this weekend

ORLANDO, Fla. – It’s starting off pretty nice and dry across Central Florida this morning, but get ready for some serious heat by the afternoon.

Temperatures are expected to climb into the low to mid 90s, but it’ll feel more like the low 100s with the humidity, so make sure to drink plenty of water to stay cool and hydrated.

Rain chances are on the lower side, around 30-40%, and the coast will stay a bit drier.

If you’re heading to the beach, expect it to be hot and muggy with a light southeast breeze around 5-15 mph, gusting up to 25 mph.

Rain will start popping up after 2 p.m., mainly west of Interstate 4. A few storms could bring gusty winds (around 40 mph), heavy rain, and lightning, so keep an eye on the sky if you’re out and about.

Sunday’s looking like more of the same, hot and humid with a 30-40% chance of rain and highs in the low to mid 90s. As the week goes on, the heat will stick around, with temps pushing into the mid to upper 90s, but we’ll get a bit of a break midweek with drier air, bringing rain chances down to 30%.

So, it’s going to be one of those weeks where you’ll want to stay cool and be prepared for some afternoon showers!
