The fun is officially over Walt Disney World – here comes the rain. If you are a local and you are reading this, today is not the day to hit the parks. If you are on vacation and have no choice – buck up, grab the ponchos and enjoy the shorter lines.
The front that has been lingering across the southeast is finally about to push through and ahead of it here comes some showers. There shouldn’t be anything severe – but some moderate rain could fall at times and a rumble of thunder is not out of the question.
Official temperatures from the national weather service look to top out once again in the mid 70s though with all the cloud cover that may be tough to attain. Showers will clear out overnight but I can’t guarantee clear skies by the time Illuminations hits at Epcot – that said by then the heavy stuff should be through. Clearing overnight leads to a pretty nice day on Thursday with temperatures once again getting into the low to some would say mid 70s … that said, a reinforcing cold front without a lot of moisture will be pushing through during the day and the real cool down begins Friday through the weekend.
Expect highs not to get out of the 60s Friday through at least Sunday and lows will drop into the mid 40s so if you are heading to WDW on vacation make sure you pack a light or medium jacket because it will get chilly once the sun goes down.
