Front slides through Central Florida. Here’s how Easter weekend is shaping up

Trooper Steve answers viewer questions. A spring cold front is moving through Central Florida, bringing clouds and scattered showers throughout the day, but most of the rain will be light, with an isolated thunderstorm expected. Once the front clears, breezy conditions are expected to develop, with winds increasing from the northwest. By Friday morning, temperatures will settle into the mid-50s, with highs expected to reach near 90 degrees early next week. High pressure will maintain control across the state, keeping conditions largely dry, with temperatures moderating back into the low 80s.

ORLANDO, Fla. – A spring cold front sliding through Central Florida on Thursday will continue to bring clouds and scattered showers through the first half of the day. Although most of the rain will be light, we can’t rule out the chance for an isolated thunderstorm.

Drier conditions and clearing skies will rapidly build once the front clears by the lunch-time hour.

In the wake of the front, breezy conditions are expected to develop as winds pick up out of the northwest between 15-25 mph.

Cooler conditions will settle in by Friday morning, with lows falling into the low to mid-50s.

Highs on Friday afternoon will remain below normal, in the mid- to upper 70s.

Into Easter weekend, high pressure will maintain control across the state, keeping conditions mostly dry, with temperatures moderating back into the low 80s.

A quick warmup is expected by early next week, as highs soar to near 90 degrees as early as Tuesday.
