Orlando Weather Forecast: Nov. 21, 2023

Staying in Florida for Thanksgiving? Or traveling? FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Noah Bergren has your travel forecast, what to expect here in Central Florida, and general weather.

Today's high: 83 degrees | Tonight's low: 67 degrees

Main weather concern: Wednesday brings more clouds and a chance for a passing shower.  Highs in the low-80s with morning lows in the mid-60s. Showers will move across the region tomorrow as a front sweeps across the state. We dry out and cool down just in time for Thanksgiving Day. 

Depend on the FOX 35 Storm Team for the latest weather updates.

BEACHES:

It will be a cloudy day at the beach. The moderate rip current risk continues with surf in the 4-5' range. Breezes trend southeasterly today. Highs this afternoon will be in the upper-70s if not near 80 degrees. We remain warm, so make sure to stay hydrated.

THEME PARKS:

Wednesday brings a mix of clouds and sun with a slight chance for rain. Highs in the high-70s to low-80s. 

OUTLOOK:

Happy Thanksgiving week! The FOX 35 Storm Team is monitoring mixed weather later this week. We have warm temperatures on Tuesday ahead of a cold front that will sweep across Florida on Wednesday. 

Rain chances come up a bit on Wednesday morning into the early afternoon hours. Showers will be likely, and we aren't ruling out the chance for a rumble of thunder during that time. 

That front blows through and helps to bring temps down a bit by Thanksgiving Day. Highs are expected to reach near 70 with partly cloudy and dry skies on Thanksgiving Day. 

Rain chances come back on Friday and into Saturday morning as more energy courses through the area. Rain chances reach up to 30% coverage at this time. 

The upcoming weekend brings drier weather and cooler temps.

TROPICS:

The FOX 35 Storm Team is monitoring the tropics as we close in on the final weeks of Hurricane Season 2023. 

We're watching one area down in the Caribbean Sea, but developmental chances are super low if at all. Another disturbance is in the distant Central Atlantic and now has a moderate chance of development as it ultimately moves East, away from the U.S.
