Cold front to drop temperatures into the 50s, 60s across Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. - You'll get to wear your favorite hoodie tonight as temperatures in Central Florida are about to take a dive. 

Thursday will start off hot and steamy with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s.

"Factor in the humidity later this afternoon and the 'feels like' temp comes in at 95 degrees during peak afternoon heating," said FOX 35 meteorologist Jayme King. "The warmth is being driven by Southwesterly winds developing out ahead of a cool front that will move through the area late tonight-early Friday morning. Rain chances come up a bit later this afternoon through the overnight hours with the highest coverage over the northern counties as the front moves through." 

Tonight, much of Central Florida will see temperatures drop into the 60s -- and even the 50s in some parts! 

"Lows will fall into the 50s across our Northern Counties, a bit warmer closer to Orlando Metro and the beaches of Brevard County. Winds will adjust to a more Northerly direction and hold steady on Friday. This will make for a beautiful start to our weekend with highs on Friday in the 70s, plentiful sunshine!"
