Florida – A light jacket feels just right this morning as cool air settles over Central Florida. Streetlights reflect off dry pavement, palm fronds barely move, and the chill lingers longer than usual for early February.
According to the National Weather Service in Melbourne, temperatures around Orlando started the morning in the mid-40s, calm and clear. Sunshine takes over quickly, and highs climb near 70 by afternoon. Winds stay light, making conditions ideal for outdoor plans once the sun gains strength.
Across east-central Florida, this cooler pocket marks the tail end of a broader winter pattern. Nights remain crisp, but daytime warmth builds steadily. Monday brings even brighter skies, with highs pushing into the low 70s. By Tuesday, a warm front lifts north, sending afternoon temperatures into the upper 70s across Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties.
Drivers won’t face weather-related travel issues, but early commuters may notice fog in low-lying areas during the coolest hours. Allow extra time if visibility drops near lakes or along rural roads before sunrise.
Midweek stays quiet but warmer. Wednesday and Thursday trend mostly cloudy to sunny, with highs in the upper 70s to near 80. Humidity creeps upward, hinting at a more typical Florida feel returning. For now, rain chances remain minimal, keeping outdoor events and travel smooth.
Looking ahead, meteorologists are watching a broader warming signal. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across much of Florida, raising the possibility of record highs late next week. For February, this pattern leans more springlike than wintry, a sharp contrast to Arctic cold gripping much of the eastern U.S.
