Orlando Weather Forecast: Oct. 24, 2023

Mostly dry skies and breezy conditions prevail across Central Florida. If you head to the beach you can expect choppy surf at 5 to 6 feet and dangerous rip currents.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Tonight's low: 67 degrees | Tomorrow's high: 82 degrees 

Main weather concerns: Our weather will be serene for the next seven to 10 days with a Hawaii-like pattern, including comfortable temperatures and a busy breeze off the water. A huge area of upper-level high pressure will remain parked over our region, limiting any significant rain potential for our region, except for a 10% chance at the coast as a few heavy clouds over the waters work inland. 

While it'll be beautiful and breezy inland, along the beach sands may get whipped up at times by gusts over 25 mph with sustained onshore winds of 15 mph. This will also send tides higher than normal, resulting in very little if any beach during times of high tide and most impacting, a very high risk for rip currents.

BEACHES:

The beaches will feature gusty ENE winds and a rough surf zone. Surf will build to the 5-6' range on Wednesday and continue building. Rip current risk will rise to high levels. Best to just stay out of the Atlantic waters at this time. Skies will feature passing sun and clouds, temps cap off at the upper 70s to around 80 this afternoon.

THEME PARKS:

A 50/50 mixture of clouds and sunshine. Expect no rain chance and afternoon highs near 83 degrees. Don't forget your hat and sunglasses. Enjoy!

OUTLOOK:

The extended outlook will feature pleasant conditions/ highs in the mixed low-mid 80s and breezy winds through the back end of the week. Rain chances return to slight chances late weekend into early next week.

TROPICS:

Hurricane Tammy remains out at sea and will turn more to the West in the coming days. At that time, Tammy starts falling apart, turning into a bundle of breeze and rain. Tammy will eventually be swept out into the Atlantic. Depression No. 21 is down in Central America, just off the Caribbean side of Nicaragua. The depression will move inland soon bringing flooding tropical rain and possible mudslides to Nicaragua over the next couple of days.
