ORLANDO, Fla. — Central Florida’s quiet weather will give way to increasing rain chances and gusty winds this weekend, with hazardous conditions developing along the coast.
A trough of low pressure is expected to develop over the Bahamas, bringing more clouds, showers and stronger winds to the region.
The changes follow the stretch of pleasant weather Channel 9 tracked through Friday. The highest rain chances will arrive Saturday night into Sunday.
