FRIDAY: Mostly sunny with temperatures in the mid to high 80s. 90 in downtown Orlando.

BEACH FORECAST: Moderate to high rip current risk with surf 1-3 feet. High tide in the early afternoon hours.

THEME PARK FORECAST: Hat and sunglasses needed as things will be heating up through the weekend. Humidity will not get "that" high but will slowly creep up this weekend.

LOOKING AHEAD: Hot but not too humid through Sunday with afternoon highs in the upper 80s to near 90 each day. Monday, a cold front moves across the Peninsula with temperatures falling rapidly behind the front. A broken line of showers and storms seems likely. Don't think severe weather or a ton of rain will fall but some will.

Amounts should be under 1/2" in any given location. It will clear out and turn quite gusty the middle of next week. NW wind gusts 20-25 MPH next Tuesday with lots of sunshine -- and highs barely getting to 70 degrees.

It will feel much cooler than it actually will be. Overnight lows in the upper 40s to low 50s Tuesday and Wednesday night next week. Looking ahead to the end of next week, there are some signs in the long range data that a lot of rain and storms, in much more organized and heavy fashion may impact Florida around March 22nd.
