YEAH, YEAH. I THINK WE’VE AGED OURSELVES OUT, BUT LET ME TELL YOU, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MAY BECAUSE HOPEFULLY WE’LL BE GETTING A LOT WARMER THAN WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BE EXPECTING. TAIL END OF THIS WEEK. YEAH, WE’LL NEED TO THAW OUT AFTER FRIDAY. RIGHT. WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME OF THE COOLEST AIR HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA THAT WE’VE SEEN SINCE 2022. SO THREE YEARS AGO. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. WINTER IS ON ITS WAY THIS FRIDAY. IT WAS IT’S GOING TO BE A FRIGID START TO YOUR FRIDAY MORNING, DROPPING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 20S IN PLACES LIKE OCALA, THE VILLAGES, WILDWOOD WILL BE RIGHT AROUND THE FREEZING LEVEL IN DAYTONA BEACH TEMPERATURES THAT YOU GUYS HAVEN’T SEEN IN QUITE A WHILE, STILL ABOVE THE FREEZING LEVEL IN ORLANDO, BUT DEFINITELY THE COLDEST THAT WE’VE BEEN SO FAR THIS WINTER SEASON WITH WAKE-UP TEMPERATURES OF 34 DEGREE CONDITIONS. SO OF COURSE WE’RE WATCHING THAT FRIGID AIR SLIDING INTO PLACE ON FRIDAY. BUT BEFORE WE GET THERE TODAY AND OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING, WE WILL SEE THE CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS. SOME OF THOSE SPILLING OVER THE BIG BEND AREA, COURTESY OF THIS STATIONARY BOUNDARY IN PLACE, AND A COLD FRONT DIRECTLY ON ITS HEELS. THAT WILL BE A TEMPERATURE SHIFTING PATTERN OUT THE DOOR RIGHT NOW. CLOUDY SKIES ARE THE PICTURE PAINTED BY MOTHER NATURE. YOU’RE BACK IN THE MID IN THE LOWER 60S IN ORLANDO AND DAYTONA AT 64 AND 62 DEGREES. JUST A TOUCH COOLER IN OCALA. BUT YOU GUYS WILL BE SEEING THOSE TEMPERATURES FALL INTO THE 20S BY FRIDAY. COMING UP, LET’S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE RAIN ACROSS THE I-75 CORRIDOR. PRETTY LIGHT SHOWERS HERE ACROSS US 27 INTO OCALA. ANTHONY CITRA SO NORTHWESTERN MARION COUNTY. BUT YOU SEE A LOT MORE SHOWERS ARE GOING TO BE HEADING OUR DIRECTION TONIGHT AND OVERNIGHT. AND SOME PRETTY INTERESTING THINGS HAPPENING WITH OUR TEMPERATURES TONIGHT TOO. SO WE SEE THE SHOWERS COMING IN RIGHT AROUND THREE 330 ACROSS THE I-75 CORRIDOR, NOT TOO FAR WIDESPREAD TONIGHT, BUT AS WE TURN THE PAGE OVER INTO YOUR OVERNIGHT HOURS, CHECK THIS OUT. YOUR TEMPERATURE IN ORLANDO RIGHT AROUND 60 DEGREES. YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET MUCH WARMER THAN THAT AS WE CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON THURSDAY BECAUSE OF THE PASSING CLOUDS AND THAT COLD FRONT THAT I MENTIONED. SO YOUR HIGH FOR THE DAY MIGHT JUST HAPPEN AS THE DAY DOES START RIGHT AROUND 12:00. SHOWERS SHOULD BE OUT TOWARDS THE COAST BY 1030. THEN WE’RE TRENDING A LOT SUNNIER IN THE AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY. NEVERTHELESS, THOUGH, IT WILL BE A CHILLY THURSDAY DESPITE THE SUNSHINE THAT YOU’LL SEE LATER IN THE DAY. BUT WE WILL SEE THOSE SHOWERS OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN OCALA. SO WE HAVE THE STATIONARY BOUNDARY TODAY THAT WE’RE DEALING WITH. COLD FRONT COMES OUR DIRECTION OVERNIGHT. THOSE SHOWERS WASH OFFSHORE THURSDAY IN THE MORNING. AND HERE’S THAT FRIGID AIR FRIDAY THAT YOU’RE STEPPING OUT TO THURSDAY MORNING TEMPERATURES. THESE ARE GOING TO BE BACK IN THE UPPER 40S LOW 50S. BUT BY FRIDAY. HERE’S A LOOK AT THOSE FROST CONCERNS RIGHT. COULD BE A HARD FREEZE WARNING IN PLACE ACROSS OUR NORTHWESTERN MOST COMMUNITIES. SUMTER. MARION I’M LOOKING AT YOU GUYS. THIS MEANS THAT TEMPERATURES WILL SPILL ON OVER INTO THE 20S IN THE DURATION OF TIME. COULD BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN SIX, MAYBE SEVEN HOURS COMING UP. SO A VERY FROSTY START TO YOUR FRIDAY. BUT EVEN ON SATURDAY, YOU’RE NOT OUT OF THE WAY. THE COLD WEATHER YET STILL HOVERING AROUND THE FREEZING LEVEL SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE WE START TO GET WARMER IN THE AFTERNOON. SO NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, FRIDAY IS GOING TO BE AN IMPACT WEATHER DAY FOR US HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. WARMER IN THE AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY. IF YOU’RE IN ORLANDO, 70 FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, BUT THEN YOU’RE BACK IN T
