Orlando, FL – Residents across Central Florida should prepare for changing spring weather as storms, rip currents, and fog impact the region this week. Monday brings the highest risk of showers, thunderstorms, and gusty winds, while the rest of the week sees warming temperatures and calmer conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected Monday, especially in areas south of Orlando. Some storms could produce strong wind gusts. Boaters should remain cautious as hazardous conditions are likely to develop Monday and Tuesday due to a passing cold front.
Patchy fog could reduce visibility overnight, particularly along major roadways like I-4 and Florida’s Turnpike. Motorists should drive cautiously and watch for sudden changes in visibility. Additionally, a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents is expected through at least Tuesday along Florida’s Atlantic beaches, making swimming conditions hazardous.
By midweek, skies will clear, and temperatures will gradually rise. Tuesday and Wednesday bring sunny skies with highs in the mid-to-upper 70s. By Thursday and Friday, temperatures will climb into the 80s, with light winds and mostly clear skies.
Residents should stay updated on weather changes and take precautions when traveling or heading to the beach. Keep an eye on forecasts for any storm developments and be mindful of rip current warnings if visiting coastal areas.
