Orlando PM Weather Forecast: Coldest temperatures of the season this weekend

Taking a look at the weekend now we're going to be dropping down into the 40s at night and our highs will be topping out in the 60s. Meteorologist Noah Bergeron getting the jacket ready I think. Some of our coldest weather since this. Earlier this year, this winter, definitely since maybe about March or April. Now, we're not going to set any records this weekend, but we will be close come Saturday morning. There's the trend, and I think that graphic tells you the story. We're going to be well below that line in the middle, which is the average line, come Saturday and Sunday morning, waking up to 69, which is 10 degrees above the typical morning low for Wednesday morning. 63 Thursday, 60 Friday, just 47 Saturday in Orlando, 49. Sunday morning, I do not think there's any frost concerns this weekend, so if you're wondering about that, nothing has to be done to your plants in any part of our coverage area this weekend. All right, 83 tomorrow, but look at the weekend. Friday, 69, 65 for a high come Saturday, which 65 is actually below our coldest temperature in the dead of winter. I'll show you that here right now. What I mean by that is is the coldest point of the year in Orlando is the middle of January, and that's when the average daily high is only 71. Saturday will be at 65, so below what it typically is daily in mid-January come Saturday. Late December, around Christmastime, 73 is the average high. Late November, about Thanksgiving, it's about 76, the average daily temp. All right, out there tonight, a good deal of clouds and some humidity. Now, we will have a couple of sprinkles to come in for tomorrow. Any time of the day is fair game. It's not exclusive to just the afternoon or the evening. So whatever you're doing tomorrow, know that... 830 in the morning, just as fair game as 430 in the afternoon for a passing shower, but nothing major for your Wednesday. Beyond that, a really big drop in the humidity comes in here on Friday and it's going to be like, oh, so nice with crisp, comfortable air coming in Friday, Friday night and then through the weekend. And with that, we'll get a big drop in the temperatures. Our first shot of colder air of the season this weekend. Hat and jacket alert for Saturday. All right, switching gears, our other headline that's going to still be in that weather headlines here for a week or two or three is the St. Johns River. Cocoa, you see that pink circle, major flooding now. Geneva, it's moderate. Sanford to land along with St. Johns. barely minor. This is where the gauges along the whole river locally are the highest. It's the St. John's near Cocoa. We're just above 17 feet, which is considered major flooding. I don't see much, at least looking at the forecast of another major uptick from here, if anything slight for the rest of this week. But we're probably going to stay pretty plateaued here for the flooding threat. So where it is is going to stay about that level for about the next week or two in Brevard County and even up towards Seminole. All right. And it's all because of that rain. This is over the last 10 days. All this water has got to work its way north and then into the St. John's and then out towards Jacksonville. So there's a lot of runoff to go in the next week or two. All right. A couple of showers forming tonight in Osceola County. These are pushing to the east. Few raindrops in the south end of Kissimmee by Lake Toho. Look off to the west, though. There's some moisture building in the Gulf. That'll come across here tomorrow. Our front for the weekend is starting to take shape in the Rockies, and you can see some cold starting to show up on the map. It is 48 in Pueblo, Colorado, 45 in Minneapolis. Some of this cool weather up here is what will move our way heading into the weekend. All right, so here's that future cast for tomorrow. Notice in the morning, a couple of showers around. So on GDO tomorrow, Brooks Garner, Jessica Dobson, we'll track some of those showers for you to start off your Wednesday. As we go through Wednesday afternoon, A couple of passing showers, passing showers, that's the headline for tomorrow, nothing major. Now the front comes by Friday morning, no big storms as the front comes by, but we'll get to 69 for a high Friday afternoon, breezy. Friday evening, the few high school football games there are, breezy and much cooler. Just 65 on Saturday, January level chill, mid 40s in the morning, 73 on Sunday, by the way, should not be a cloud in the sky on Saturday. We'll take that to the bank, Manny. I know you'll hold my feet to the fire if there's a cloud out there. But next week, maybe some rain by about next Tuesday. Okay, Saturday, we're going to need our winter jacket and our sunglasses.
