Orlando Weather Forecast: Sept. 20, 2024

ORLANDO, Fla. - It's a beautiful way to start the weekend! Partly cloudy skies for the rest of the evening with a few scattered storms. Patchy fog is possible late tonight into early tomorrow morning, especially along the coastlines. 

Temperatures will fall into the low to mid-70s.

LOOKING AHEAD: Drier air pushes in for the weekend so get ready for some gorgeous weather. Things will stay dry except for a stray storm, so make sure you get outside this weekend. Temperatures will stay in the upper 80s and humidity will stay low. 

We will keep rain-free and less humid conditions around through early next week. The main rain chances will be on the west coast as a northeasterly breeze will be dominant over the area, pushing any storms that pop up in the afternoon both Saturday and Sunday to the western coast of Florida towards Tampa. 

Tracking the Tropics

The National Hurricane Center says there is a 60% chance of tropical development over the western Caribbean Sea early next week. Models continue to diverge in scenarios and exact placement of the system, but looking at the trends, it seems like they're all showing a westward shift. This has been noticed going through the last 24 hours or so. 

The placement of the upper ridge is also different in the European model compared to the GEFS. It's farther east on the GEFS, allowing for more of a northeastern turn, differing from the Euro, which is directly on top of us. 

It acts like a roadblock, preventing the system from lifting our way. This scenario would yield more of a Western Gulf/Mexico hit.
