This weekend, residents of Orlando may anticipate an unusually cold hug as the front moves through and the winds pick up speed. The National Weather Service in Melbourne, Florida, issued an early-morning advisory outlining a prediction that will have Central Floridians searching through their closets for heavier, infrequently used clothing. According to the National Weather Service, “below normal temperatures forecast to persist through this weekend, and will be the coldest temperatures of the season so far.” Boaters and surfers are also advised to remain on land for the time being.
A brisk start to the day is anticipated as wind chills near daybreak are predicted to drop into the mid 30s to lower 40s. A blanket of chilly air firmly tucks in the area, leaving behind the softer warmth that many Sunshine State residents are used to, as the wind picks up throughout the day to gusts of 25 mph, adding to the chill effect. According to the National Weather Service discussion, temperatures will continue to drop tonight, with widespread lows in the lower to mid-40s expected over most of Central Florida and somewhat milder around the coast.
“U60s for most with a slight warming trend into Sun with readings in the L-M70s,” according to the National Weather Service, indicates a modest increase in thermostat readings over the next few days. However, the dryness persists, and with it comes a stark reminder that fire-prone conditions will persist this weekend, monitored by watchful eyes that are all too aware of how easily a spark may turn into a catastrophe.
As a symbol of the power flowing across the waters, sailors pay attention to the warning: Small Craft Advisories until today. Although the gales are expected to lessen by Saturday as high pressure rises, be careful by Sunday. The National Weather Service has expressed worry that dangerous circumstances could form close to inlets during the outgoing tide, which could be a sign of an oncoming ENE/NE long-period surge. We earthbound find comfort in the upcoming workweek. As temperatures gradually move closer to more typical Florida temps and the calm arc of high pressure settles over our area, the zonal flow above persists.
The sky is still wide and open for pilots, and northwest winds are predicted to subside tonight, providing a brief but guaranteed reprieve for those aiming for Orlando’s skies. The same calm skies can be heard at airports throughout the area, and SKC prevails at this time, allowing for continuous flight. Swift from the northwest, as clean as the wind, it promises a smooth horizon.
