WHAT TIME IS THIS GOING TO START AND HOW BAD IS IT GOING TO BE. SO WE’LL START TO SEE TEMPERATURES TAKE A TURN FOR THE WORST ON MONDAY NIGHT. HEADING INTO TUESDAY MORNING. NOT THE COLDEST THAT WE’VE BEEN THIS YEAR, BUT IN COMPARISON TO THE TEMPERATURES THAT WE SAW THIS WEEKEND, IT WILL FEEL LIKE AN ABRUPT SHIFT. I WANT TO JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO PAUSE AND REFLECT AS WE ZOOM ON OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT TEMPERATURES FROM ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ONE THING REALLY STANDS OUT, AND IT’S THE STATE OF FLORIDA BY FAR. YOU SEE THESE DARKER SHADES OF PURPLE AND BLUE ALL ACROSS THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY, EXTENDING THROUGH NEW ENGLAND. BUT WE HAVE THIS BRIGHT ORANGE ON THE MAP FOR ORLANDO, FLORIDA. AS YOU’RE STILL IN THE 80S, JUST PAST 615. BUT THAT COLD ARCTIC AIR WILL BE FALLING INTO FLORIDA BY TUESDAY MORNING, SO BE PREPARED FOR A CHILLY WORKWEEK THAT LIES IN FRONT OF US. AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF THIS COLD FRONT HERE. NOW WE SEE THAT WINTER MIX OF PRECIPITATION STILL ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST, LEAVING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WITHOUT POWER. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE POWER OUTAGES WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE COUNTRY. NEARLY 75,000. IN TEXAS, OVER 100,000 IN LOUISIANA. MISSISSIPPI, 300,000 WITHOUT POWER DUE TO THAT WIDESPREAD ICE STORM ACROSS TENNESSEE. EVEN HERE IN FLORIDA, WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER AS WELL. BUT THE WINTER AIR RETURNING IS THE MAJOR HEADLINE THAT WE’LL SEE AS WE CRUISE ACROSS THE WORKWEEK. YOU’LL BE REACHING FOR THE WINTER ATTIRE BY TUESDAY MORNING AS TEMPERATURES IN MELBOURNE THEY DROP ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 40 DEGREES AND TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE AFTERNOON HIGHS. STILL FAIRLY WARM MONDAY IN THE AFTERNOON, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE A BRUTAL HIT OF WINTER BY TUESDAY. HERE’S YOUR AFTERNOON HIGH. WILL NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE 50S. IF YOU’RE IN THE MELBOURNE AREA AND YOU JUST SET A RECORD TODAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES MOVING BACK INTO THE MID AND UPPER 80S ACROSS BREVARD COUNTY, 82 DEGREES IS WHAT YOU SET OUT RIGHT NOW. WITH A BREEZE FROM THE SOUTH. IT WAS THAT SOUTHERLY COMPONENT TO THE WINDS THAT REALLY AIDED IN WARMING UP YOUR TEMPERATURES ALL THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. AS WE WERE BACK IN THE 80S, YESTERDAY AND TODAY, SOME OF US HAVE DROPPED INTO THE 70S, UPPER 70S. IF YOU’RE IN WILDWOOD, CLAREMONT, OCALA. BUT ULTIMATELY IT’S A TIGHT KNIT GROUP OF TEMPERATURES 70S AND LOWER 80S STILL HERE JUST PAST 615. AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST IN MELBOURNE, YOU’RE NOT COOLING DOWN TONIGHT BY MUCH, RIGHT? IN FACT, YOU’LL BE WELL ABOVE YOUR SEASONAL AVERAGE AS YOUR OVERNIGHT LOWS MAY JUST STALL IN THE UPPER 60S 69 DEGREES IS WHAT YOU KICK OFF THE MORNING WITH, BUT OVER THE COURSE OF THE EVENING, WE’LL BE WATCHING THIS COLD FRONT COMING IN, INCREASING YOUR CHANCE FOR RAIN SHOWERS ON MONDAY MORNING AND WE WILL BE BREEZY IN THE AFTERNOON. SO LET’S GO AHEAD AND PRESS PLAY ON FUTURECAST. GUSTY CONDITIONS COMING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO START OFF YOUR EVENING, BUT PAY ATTENTION TO THE RAIN SHOWERS MOVING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST IN OCALA, WE’LL HAVE THOSE GUSTS BETWEEN 20 AND 25MPH. WITH THAT FIRST SURGE OF RAIN SHOWERS, THAT WILL BECOME A LITTLE BIT STRONGER AS WE MOVE ACROSS THE I-4 CORRIDOR. BY MONDAY MORNING AT 8:00. BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE A MORNING EVENT IN WHICH YOU’RE SEEING THE RAIN, AND THEN YOU’LL BE SEEING COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. ON MONDAY, SLOWLY DECREASING ONCE THE FRONT PASSES YOU BY. STILL BREEZY AFTER ITS PASSAGE, WE’LL SEE THOSE SHOWERS PUSH OFFSHORE BY 12:00, AND WHAT WE’RE LEFT WITH ARE CLEARING SKIES. MORE SUNSHINE, BUT NOT MORE HEAT. KEEP IN MIND, WE DID SET RECORDS ALL ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA TODAY, WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S. YOUR HIGHS TOMORROW PEAK VERY EARLY IN THE DAY AND YOU’LL BE CAPPED IN THE 70S, MOST LIKELY IN THE ORLANDO METRO AREA, IN WHICH WE WILL SEE MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES RIGHT AFTER THE FRONT PASSES BY. SO NOTICE BY 10:00 THE RAIN COMES TO AN END. AND THAT’S PRETTY MUCH THE END OF YOUR WARMING TREND, AS WILL BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOWER 70S FOR YOUR DAY. MUCH COOLER THOUGH, WITH THAT WINTER BLAST OF AIR TUESDAY IN THE MORNING, WE COULD DROP TO 28 DEGREES IN OCALA LOWER 30S FOR DELAND, PALM COAST UPPER 30S IF YOU’RE INSIDE THE METRO ON TUESDAY. SO A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT IN OUR WEATHER, WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE FREEZE WATCHES IN PLACE. IF YOU’RE NORTH OF THE I-4 CORRIDOR, HERE’S A LOOK AT THE TEMPERATURE ROLLER COASTER A 50 DEGREE DIFFERENCE IN TEMPERATURES FOR HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON. AND WHAT LIES OUT THE DOOR FOR YOU ON TUESDAY. AND UNFORTUNATELY, IT’S A COOL TREND AS WE’RE
