Orlando weather: Breezy conditions and mild temperatures expected

Oscar no longer a tropical system

Oscar is no longer classified as a tropical system, but its remnants are projected to impact Bermuda late Wednesday into early Thursday. Meanwhile, the remnants of Hurricane Nadine, which crossed over Mexico, are developing into a new hurricane in the eastern Pacific.

ORLANDO, Fla. - There is a small chance of passing sprinkles early Wednesday morning, but significant precipitation is not expected.

Temperatures will drop into the 60s with a light breeze continuing across most areas. Highs on Wednesday will break into the upper 70s to mid-80s.

LOOKING AHEAD: A high-pressure system moving in from the north is expected to dominate Thursday through Saturday, clearing clouds and eliminating rain chances. Winds are also anticipated to subside.

Conditions for beach and boating activities will improve significantly in the coming days as the remnants of Hurricane Oscar move away toward Bermuda.

However, rain chances may return around Halloween next week as increased humidity flows into Florida, potentially bringing daily showers and thunderstorms.

Tracking the Tropics

The tropical Atlantic remains quiet after Oscar, but attention turns to the Caribbean as November approaches. Conditions are favorable for potential tropical development, with light wind shear, high ocean temperatures, and increased moisture expected. A system could form around Election Day, November 8.

Historically, tropical systems in the Caribbean during November tend to move northeast, rarely making landfall in the United States. The next name on this year’s storm list is Patty.

Tropical weather records dating back to the mid-1800s indicate only three hurricanes have made landfall in Florida during November. While it is possible, as evidenced by Hurricane Nicole in 2022, such occurrences are extremely rare, happening just three times in nearly 175 years.
