Next cold front incoming: Expected timeline for Central Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. - Central Florida starts the new week off cool and quiet.

Sunshine prevails on Monday with only a few extra clouds coming in from the Gulf of Mexico by the mid-afternoon hours. Highs head for the very pleasant 70s from the coastal areas all the way inland.

Central Florida’s local measure of atmospheric moisture remains very low, so the region is not only looking good but also feeling good too. It will be rain-free for now and over the next few days.
