Orlando, FL – The early morning air feels warm and damp across Central Florida — the kind of stillness that hints at a brewing pattern shift. As the state closes out Thanksgiving weekend, meteorologists are tracking a line of showers and possible storms expected to move across Orlando by Tuesday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, skies remain mostly sunny Monday, but a developing Gulf disturbance will push moist air inland, triggering a 50% chance of rain and isolated thunderstorms Tuesday between 1 and 4 p.m. While rainfall totals look light, brief downpours and gusty winds up to 25 mph could slow commutes and cause minor airport delays at Orlando International.
Temperatures will stay well above average, reaching the upper 70s to near 80°F, giving the city a taste of late-fall humidity before drier air filters in midweek. By Wednesday and Thursday, expect mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-70s, perfect for early holiday decorating or outdoor plans.
Travel Tip: Keep an umbrella handy if you’re out Tuesday afternoon, especially along I-4 or the attractions corridor, where scattered showers could briefly reduce visibility.
Five-Day Outlook:
- Monday: Mostly sunny, high 80°F.
- Tuesday: 50% chance of showers, high 80°F.
- Wednesday: Mostly sunny, high 73°F.
- Thursday: Sunny, high 75°F.
- Friday: Mostly cloudy, high 80°F.
Early December warmth lingers — but don’t let the sunshine fool you. A stronger cold front may arrive next weekend, signaling Florida’s next winter tease.
