Orlando Weather Forecast PM: November, 15 2024

FOX 35's Storm Team Meteorologist Laurel Blanchard has your evening forecast and a look into the start of the weekend. Fall is in the air and you will notice much cooler temperatures for the weekend head. Temperatures will cool down into the upper 70s for highs and the upper 50s and low 60s for overnight lows through the weekend. Although it will be cooler and on the breezy side, there will be gorgeous sunshine so make sure you get outside and enjoy!

ORLANDO, Fla. - It will be mostly clear overnight with a spectacular view of the moon.

Expect mostly sunny conditions with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s overnight. A northeast wind will blow at 10 to 15 miles per hour, bringing lower humidity levels.

WEEKEND AND BEYOND: There will be much lower humidity, for a crisp, sunny weekend. Temperatures will be in the 70s for highs to near 80 with lows in the 50s to near 60 in most spots – closer to 50 degrees in Ocala and Gainesville. It will be a bit warmer Monday and Tuesday next week with humidity returning.

LOOKING AHEAD: Temperatures will warm back into the 80s for highs, signaling a brief return to warmer weather early next week. Wednesday will be a FOX 35 Weather Impact Day as we watch for the potential remnants of Tropical Storm Sarah merging with a cold front. There could be downpours, strong winds, and possibly severe storms late Tuesday night into Wednesday.

A significant cool down is expected near the end of next week as temperatures drop considerably.

Tracking the Tropics

Tropical Storm Sara is expected to dissipate over or near Mexico's Yucantan Peninsula early next week, eliminating the tropical threat to the U.S. Gulf Coast or Florida, according to the FOX 35 Storm Team and the National Hurricane Center.

The NHC said the cooler waters and strong wind shear in the Gulf of Mexico will prevent Sara from developing over the Gulf of Mexico, and will be fully absorbed into a cold front. Central Florida will likely see heavy rainfall – and perhaps a thunderstorm – on Wednesday, which will be a FOX 35 Weather Impact Day.

FOX 35's Brooks Garner said this should also eliminate major threats of a hurricane reaching Florida for the remainder of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. The Atlantic basin and Caribbean may see a few more named systems, but none would threaten Florida from herein, Brooks said. Hurricane season ends on Nov. 30, 2024.
