A breezy evening has ended with winds gradually relaxing across Central Florida, with a potential for a warm-up into the weekend. Temperatures in Orlando are expected to reach 81 degrees on Thursday, slightly cooler than the normal high of 85. Despite this, sensitive fire weather conditions remain in place, with relative humidity levels above the critical 35 percent threshold and dry fuels and breezes can still pose concerns. By Friday and Saturday, temperatures will reach the upper 80s in inland areas, with coastal communities in the low to mid 80s due to the sea breeze. However, by the weekend, a warming trend will take hold, with temperatures reaching the mid-90s inland and mid-80s on the coast. For boaters, conditions are gradually improving, with rising seas expected to decrease from around 3 to 4 feet down to 1 to 2 feet by the end of the weekend and more favorable weather conditions.
