Weather Forecast: Jan. 19, 2023

Orlando and Central Florida will see rain return this weekend, beginning on Friday as a cold front makes its way across the Sunshine State.

Tonight's low: 66 degrees | Tomorrow's high: 78 degrees | Rain: 20% AM

Main weather concerns: A weak front moves across the Florida peninsula overnight bringing the chance for a few light showers in the Big Bend late tonight and moving into Gainesville and Ocala in the early morning hours tomorrow. 

BEACHES:
Highs warming to near 80 at peak Friday afternoon hours with a mix of sun and clouds and a chance for rain. Winds will be southwest at 10 mph, surf rolls in around 2' with a moderate risk for rip currents.

THEME PARKS:
Such a beautiful day to head out to the theme parks. A cool morning turns into a warm afternoon with highs near 80 degrees. You can expect a mix of sun and clouds with dry skies! Don't forget your hat and sunglasses.

OUTLOOK:
We continue our warming ways head through the end of the week. 

Rain chances increase this weekend as a series of fronts work through the region. As of right now, the highest chance for showers and storms looks to reside over Southern Georgia and North Florida-lesser coverage to the South on Sunday. 

We have a rollercoaster of temperatures with highs in the low-70s on Saturday and back to the low-80s on Sunday. This could certainly change so stay with the FOX 35 Storm Team for your full forecast!
