A high-pressure system will settle over the region as the weekend approaches, ushering in warm and mostly dry conditions. Temperatures are expected to rise into the upper 80s and low 90s in many areas away from the coast, with some spots possibly setting new record highs from Wednesday through Saturday.
Lakeland is among the cities predicted to experience temperatures exceeding 90°F this week, making it one of the hottest stretches of weather in recent memory. With minimal chances for rain, the warmth will dominate the forecast, and residents should prepare for a heatwave that could last through the weekend.
This high-pressure system is expected to keep skies clear and conditions dry, creating a perfect opportunity for outdoor activities—though it’s important to stay hydrated and take precautions against the heat. As temperatures continue to climb, record-breaking warmth could become a reality in several locations across the region.
