Orlando AM Weather Forecast: Wintry feels across Central Florida Saturday

All right, speaking of right now, it is chilly here in central Florida. It is crisp. Yeah, I opened the garage this morning. I felt it creeping up, and I'm like, the air just rushed in. I was like shivering. I was like, oh, all right, let's get the heat on. Come on. Yeah, I think it's needed today if you're driving around early this morning and throw the heat on in the car. Maybe you put the heat on last night in the house. We actually still had our air conditioner on. I'm sure that I'm probably not the only one, but, yeah, I don't think you'll need that today or this weekend as temperatures are going to stay well below normal. But at least it's bright. We have that sunshine overlooking downtown Orlando here this morning, peering off to the north and east out toward Lake Eola. The cold front that brought the chill now off to our east. High pressure building in behind it, which is going to keep us bright, keep us quiet through our Saturday and into our Sunday. But it's going to be a short-lived cool down. So if you're not a fan. of the more wintry temperatures. They won't be around too terribly long. Right now we have 50 in Bithlow. Notice still in the low 40s in Ocala, Gainesville, 46 in Palm Coast, 52 degrees in Orlando, and it is 57, a little milder with the help of the water out toward Cocoa Beach. The last time we were this cold in Orlando, it's been a while, March 18th to be exact, when we hit 45 degrees. We weren't quite that cold this morning. But if you've been out and about, maybe it was a little shock to the system because it has been a long time since we've felt the chill. And it'll be cool today. You might want a hoodie out there if you're getting out to Warped Tour. Temperatures in the mid-60s through 3 o'clock. But with the clear sky, temperatures will fall fast. So be prepared for the chillier temperatures quickly once the sun goes down. Same story out at the Bounce House as the Sun Devils come to town a little later than normal with the help of all the craziness with the flights taking on the Knights now. Kickoff at 5.30. Versus a 3.30 this afternoon around 63 at halftime will quickly fall back into the upper 50s for the drive home. Go Knights. Now. Temperatures today across the board at least around the metro will be in the mid 60s, but notice a little cooler northwest of town on Coast 63 63 in Ocala. Then tonight we do it all over again with the help of the lighter wind and the starry sky. Some spots may sneak into the upper 30s northwest of Ocala and Gainesville. Closer to the metro will be around 47 degrees with temps a little milder out toward our. Area beaches. So that's going to be another morning for us with the jacket or the hoodie. But as high pressure starts to shift away, we'll tap into a slightly warmer and more moisture laden air mass through Monday into Tuesday and eventually Wednesday as a disturbance in the Gulf starts to shift our way. So with that, chances for showers do start to sneak back up. Up after being pleasant today and again tomorrow, we'll see that here on future cast with our Fox Weather model. Monday morning might have a stray sprinkle and we'll hold on to that chance through lunchtime into the evening. Chances only around 20%, but they start to sneak back up a little more so even by the time we get into our Tuesday. And it could be a isolated storm too. We'll have to watch that as temperatures and the instability in the atmosphere start to come up just a little bit. Now our Fox 35 Storm Team 7 Day Forecast shows temperatures Back in the low 70s Sunday, upper 70s by midweek and you can see our rain chances hold at around 30% going to watch that disturbance in the Gulf right now. Chances not all that impressive, but after all the rain we've seen over the last couple weeks, we'll keep a close eye on that.
