Another hot one before Central Florida gets a little relief
Get ready for another hot day across Central Florida. Afternoon highs on Wednesday will climb into the mid-90s. Meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said we'll be just shy of record heat. Expect breezy conditions at times, with wind gusts near 20 mph out of the WSW. On Thursday, a weakening front will move into the Channel 9 viewing area. Crimi said it will bring us a break from the heat. Afternoon highs will reach the upper 80s and low 90s with mostly cloudy skies and isolated showers and storms possible. The relief, however, will be short-lived, as temperatures will return to the low and mid-90s on Friday and into the weekend. Looking ahead to Memorial Day — early indications are that the wet season, with the start of daily afternoon storms, could begin around the holiday, Crimi said.

Warm & breezy Friday brings high fire danger to Central Florida
Temperatures will climb into the mid-80s on Friday in the Channel 9 viewing area. The heat, combined with breezy conditions, will bring an increased risk for wildfires in Central Florida. Expect winds between 5-15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph. Meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said a Red Flag warning will be in effect Friday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Outdoor burning is discouraged, as any fire that starts could spread rapidly. Friday night is when our next front will bring a limited chance for rain to Central Florida, Crimi said. Isolated severe storms will be possible in North Florida, but we could see some lightning closer to home, with storms northwest of Interstate 4 late Friday. If you have outdoor weekend plans, Crimi said gorgeous weather will be in place. We'll have cool mornings, sunshine, and pleasant afternoon temperatures all weekend long. Have a great weekend!
