WE BEGIN WITH FIRST WARNING METEOROLOGIST SANDRA SHAW TRACKING HOW OUR COMMUNITIES ARE WAKING UP THIS MORNING. SO YOU’RE WAKING UP TO THIS BRISK NORTHWEST WIND, WHICH IS MAKING TEMPERATURES FEEL EVEN COLDER THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE. SO COLD WEATHER ADVISORIES AGAIN, FOR THE INLAND COUNTIES, YOU SEE OKEECHOBEE WEST OF VERO BEACH AND INDIAN RIVER COUNTY AND ALL THAT AREA UNDER THAT COLD WEATHER ADVISORY UNTIL 9 A.M. FOR THE WIND CHILLS. I MEAN, BASICALLY, IT FEELS LIKE 32 IN OKEECHOBEE RIGHT NOW WITH AN ACTUAL TEMPERATURE OF ONLY 37. IT’S 40 IN FORT PIERCE, GOOD MORNING BRISK START, NORTHWEST WINDS WHIPPING AROUND SEBASTIEN AT 37. FELLSMERE 37. IT’S 45. IN JUPITER, 47 OUT AT PBIA. WE’RE IN THE MID 40S IN BOYNTON BEACH, 47 IN DELRAY AND 48 IN BOCA, 45 FOR WELLINGTON. SO A VERY GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING IMPACT. SUFFICE IT TO SAY, THROUGHOUT THE TREASURE COAST FOR TODAY, WE QUALIFY SOMETHING AS IMPACT WITH THE WET TEMPERATURES WHEN IT’S MORE THAN TEN DEGREES BELOW THE AVERAGE. SO THE AVERAGE HIGH IS 58. WE’RE ONLY GOING TO BE HERE IN THE LOW 60S ON THE TREASURE COAST IN THE PALM BEACHES. WE’RE ONLY GOING TO BE IN THE MID 60S, WHICH IS STILL TEN DEGREES BELOW THE AVERAGE.

FREEZE WARNINGS FOR OKEECHOBEE TOMORROW. FROST ADVISORY, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. SOME RAIN ON SATURDAY WILL BE MILDER, BUT WE’LL SEE SOME SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH, USHERING IN THAT ARCTIC BLAST. AND I DO MEAN BLAST. RECORD COLD AS POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY. AND FOR A SNEAK PEEK AT THIS, THESE ARE OUR FUTURE WIND CHILL FACTORS EXPECTED TO BE ONLY ABOUT 20. FEELING LIKE THAT IN OKEECHOBEE?
