Frosty Friday Start | Coolest Air of December So Far Ahead of a Weekend Warmup in Central FloridaNo advisories issued for Central Florida to close out the workweek, but it is certainly a cold start to the morning. Temperatures in our north and western most counties have fallen into the thirties this morning with frost concerns. It’s a clear start to your morning, so we could still lose an extra degree or two before sunrise. Ultimately sunshine will be plentiful today with an onshore flow, therefore temperatures will warm into the low seventies inland later this afternoon. Our warming trend will follow us into the weekend with peak temps reaching the mid and upper seventies Saturday and Sunday. Don’t get too comfortable though, a dry cold front will sneak into the picture as the weekend comes to its conclusion. This will drop temps into the lower sixties to start off the workweek.
