Orlando weather: Temperatures cool down for Thanksgiving Day

ORLANDO, Fla. - Tonight's low: 55 degrees | Tomorrow's high 70

THANKSGIVING DAY:

Happy Thanksgiving! Cooler air has funneled in behind the front that delivered showers to Central Florida on Wednesday. Lows bottomed out in the 40s over North Florida, low-mid 50s closer to Orlando and the Northeast coastal counties. 

BEACHES:

Surf heights of 2-4' can be expected with local winds from the SSW at 10-20 mph. It's cooler out there, so it may be the best beach day if you plan to hit the water.

THEME PARKS:

It will be a pleasant day at the parks, but much cooler than Wednesday. The highs will reach into the upper-60s and low-70s. 

OUTLOOK:

Daily highs are taking a dive across the U.S. on Thanksgiving Day. It appears the highest chance for rain will be from Friday afternoon to Friday evening. The amounts look light in any passing showers. 

A beautiful weekend is expected with mostly sunny weather. Highs on Saturday and Sunday rise into the lower 70s with overnight lows remaining in the mid-upper 50s.

TROPICS:

The FOX 35 Storm Team is monitoring the tropics as we close in on the final weeks of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. 

We're watching one area down in the far Southern Caribbean, where developmental chances are super low – if at all. The second spot is located over the distant Central Atlantic and has a 50% chance of development as it ultimately moves east.
