Here's an update as of Wednesday night, December 8th...10:30pm CST.

No real changes to report. A cold front is still expected to bring a chance for rain or storms during the day on Friday. All indications are that rain chances will decrease by Friday evening. Will update again Thursday evening.

Plan your trip accordingly. graemlins/mickey.gif

Here is a quick update to the weather forecast for this Saturday, December 11th...

Saturday could be a raw day for central FLA. Indications are that low clouds may be stubborn to move out. If this happens, it will be a cool & breezy day. Highs may only be in the lower 60's. That will feel cool with a NW 10-15 mph. If enough moisture is still around, sprinkles or light showers can not be ruled out.

This could change...but I wanted to make sure you were aware what the possibilities looked like.

I will post a complete update to the forecast for DEC 10-15 this afternoon so those that are traveling tonight or tomorrow will know that to expect. graemlins/mickey.gif

Thanks for all your help Patrick! Although I was hoping for warmer temperatures, like you said, it will still be warmer in Orlando than it is here in MA! Hope you have fun on your upcoming trip. Thanks. graemlins/mickey.gif

It does sound cooler than usual. However, keep in mind that this means it will be absolutely, bone-chillingly, brutally cold where you leave from. In fact, mid to upper 50's sounds pretty good right now, as I look outside at the light flurries being blown around in the 20-25 MPH winds.

UPDATED FORECAST ON THE ORIGINAL POST...

[Here we go again...]

Freezing?!? Isn't this supposed to be Florida?
Poor Mickey, he must be so cold!

[buzznwoodysmom]

Thanks Patrick, I am leaving tomorrow morning and I'll check this again before I leave to see if you've updated it. I don't mind the cold so much, I just don't want rain!!!

[tyeepup]

Thanks Patrick-

We'll be following you about 8 hours later. We'll wave as we pass overhead on our flight from Houston.
