Orlando weather: Central Florida braces for cooler temperatures

Orlando Weather Forecast: Jan. 18, 2024

After two days of scattered showers, Central Florida will see some of the season's coldest temperatures, arriving this weekend.

ORLANDO, Fla. - It was another chilly start to the day in Central Florida, but you may have noticed things are warming up as we head into the overnight hours. Skies will continue to trend mostly cloudy on Friday, with a few showers possible. Highs hit in the lower 70s around Orlando and cooler 60s in the northern counties.

Rain chances grow a touch higher to nearly 30% on Friday as a cold front works across the region. This front will move south of the area by Friday evening. Colder air will ride into Florida rather quickly, toppling temps yet again as we head into the weekend.
