Orlando Weather PM Forecast: March 13, 2025

Warming up as we get closer to the weekend. We are watching carefully the next chance of severe weather coming up on Sunday. Meteorologist Laurel Blanchard has the latest on the Central Florida forecast.

The Brief

    • As you're getting your Thursday morning started, you may want to grab a jacket or sweatshirt, as temperatures will be in the upper 40s and low 50s.
    • However, temperatures will warm up throughout the day, reaching into the upper 70s and low 80s.
    • Although a few clouds may be present overhead at times, today will be mostly-sunny and beautiful across Central Florida.

ORLANDO, Fla. - There will be mainly clear skies on tap through the rest of the evening and overnight. Temperatures will drop into the upper 40s and 50s across Central Florida.  Overnight, especially along the I-75 corridor, there will be some dense patchy fog across the region through the morning commute.

What will the weather look like on Friday?

What To Expect:

Temperatures will be cool to start, so grab the jacket or sweatshirt as you're stepping out the door on Friday morning. Temperatures to start off your day will be in the 50s, but the sunshine and slight breeze bringing warm air from the south will warm temperatures up quickly through the day. Highs on Friday will be in the 80s.

What will the weather look like this weekend? 

What's next:

As we head into the weekend, hot and unsettled weather will gradually take shape. 

On Friday and Saturday, temperatures will heat up, as highs climb into the mid-80s. 

We'll stay on the dry side, as well, for the first half of the weekend.

Storm alert on the way 

Why you should care:

A system that will roar through the entire country will bring severe weather to the Midwest and deep south through the end of the week and weekend. A cold front will push through as of now Sunday evening into early Monday morning. this will bring us our next best chance of showers and storms.

Sunday's high of 90 degrees will be hot and also brings the likelihood of breaking the previous record of 89 degrees set back in 2002.  

Timeline:

The best chances of strong storms will be Sunday evening, overnight and into early Monday morning. 

Although this could bring a severe weather outbreak to the Central and Deep South parts of the country, the main threats to our region here in Central Florida will be strong winds. The chance of severe and strong storms and the possibility of a few tornadoes spinning up is not out of the question.

Late Sunday afternoon, we'll be watching for the chance of strong-to-severe storms as our next system swings into the area. 

The best chances of strong storms will be Sunday overnight and into early Monday morning. 

The system moving in will provide what is likely to be a severe weather and potentially tornado outbreak from the Midwest Friday and into the Deep South Saturday. 

The main threats from any strong or severe storms that get going would be damaging winds and the risk of a few tornadoes. Be sure to stay close to the forecast and stay weather-aware on Sunday.

What will the weather look like next week?

Dig deeper:

A few lingering showers and storms will be possible early Monday morning, before eventually turning drier by Monday afternoon. 

Highs will be cooler, reaching the mid 70s.
