Orlando, Fla. – A soft morning glow stretches over Central Florida’s skyline early Thursday, with palm fronds bending under a gentle northeast breeze. The region continues its stretch of dry, sun-soaked fall weather — the kind that feels made for theme parks, morning jogs, and late-season beach days — though winds will pick up ahead of the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Melbourne, Thursday and Friday will stay mostly sunny with highs near 83°F. East to northeast winds may gust between 20 and 25 mph at times, especially along the Space Coast and the I-95 corridor. Those breezy conditions could make driving higher-profile vehicles a bit challenging on exposed highways and cause rough surf along beaches from Daytona to Cocoa Beach.
Friday remains warm and clear, with low humidity lending a rare crispness to the Florida air. By Saturday, skies stay mostly sunny and pleasant, highs again in the low 80s, though gusts could top 20 mph inland. Rain chances stay below 10 percent until Sunday, when scattered showers may develop during the afternoon as moisture increases slightly.
Looking ahead to early next week, model trends suggest a subtle uptick in humidity with light showers possible Monday and Tuesday. No cold fronts are expected yet, but long-range guidance hints at the first cooler push arriving before Halloween — a reminder that fall, even in Florida, eventually finds its way south.
For now, Central Florida can count on bright skies, warm afternoons, and breezy evenings through the weekend — perfect for late-October outdoor plans.
