Calm start to the weekend, as the St. Johns River levels cause concern after Hurricane Milton

ORLANDO, Fla. — It’s been a nice start to the weekend, but river levels on the St. Johns River remain a major concern.

Both Astor and DeLand are at major flood levels, and Sanford and Lake Harney will continue to see rises over the coming days.

The river will likely remain elevated through the week, and quite possibly for several weeks as the rainfall from Milton continues to drain.

Weatherwise, expect just a stray shower south of I-4 for Sunday with highs in the mid 80s.

It turns warmer on Monday but dry conditions are expected. Temps to start the week will be in the upper 80s.

Our first cold front in months marches in on Tuesday. A few showers will be possible as it pushes through, but most will stay dry.

Behind, some truly cool and comfortable air arrives, with highs for the back end of next week in the upper 70s and low 80s.
