Cold Snap Expected Across Central Florida

Why this matters: This sudden change in weather can affect outdoor activities, travel plans, and energy consumption. Residents need to take precautions to stay warm and protect sensitive plants and animals.

The cold front is moving rapidly through Central Florida, bringing with it a sharp drop in temperatures and gusty northwest winds. This cold snap will mimic mid-winter conditions before warmer air returns late in the weekend. High temperatures on Black Friday will hover around the low 60s, about 15 degrees below normal. Travelers heading toward Michigan should be prepared for blizzard warnings, while another system will impact areas from Omaha to Chicago with winter storm watches. A stronger front early next week may bring the region’s best chance for organized rain in an otherwise worsening drought pattern. Temperatures will warm up going into next week, with temperatures predicted to be in the low 70s on Saturday and the low 80s from Sunday to Wednesday. A system will bring a few showers and even a storm to the region Monday through Tuesday.

Temperatures are expected to drop into the 40s, with wind chills near freezing in some areas.

Temperatures will begin to warm up by the weekend, with highs in the 70s on Saturday and 80s on Sunday.

A stronger front early next week may bring a chance of rain to the region.
