<\/p>\nWind chills plunge into the 20s across parts of Central Florida on MLK Day<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAFTERNOON, STARTING AT 530. ALL RIGHT, YOUR TIME NOW. 518. NO SCHOOL TODAY. A LOT OF PEOPLE OFF OF WORK, AND THEY\u2019RE ALL GOING TO HAVE TO BUNDLE UP AGAIN. IT\u2019S CHILLY. YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY I SAW I SAW SOME FOLKS AND THEY\u2019RE LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU WERE 30 MINUTES OFF AND I SAID I WAS 30 MINUTES FROM THE RAIN AND THE GUSTS, THAT THING THAT BLEW IN. AND I WAS LIKE, WELL, HEY, AT LEAST 30 MINUTES I CAN TAKE, I CAN TAKE THAT LOSS. BUT YOU KNOW, YEAH, I MEAN, IT CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL YESTERDAY. SO EVEN THOUGH IT\u2019S CHILLY THIS MORNING AND IT\u2019S BREEZY, AT LEAST IT\u2019S AN IMPROVEMENT FROM THERE. TODAY WE WILL BE ANOTHER CHILLY FORECAST, BUT THE SUN WILL BE SHINING AND TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 50S. THEN NOTICE FOR TOMORROW THE 60S AND THEN THE 70S. SO AT LEAST FLORIDA\u2019S HEALING THIS MORNING THOUGH, WE LOOK OUTSIDE AND THAT LOOKS LIKE A COLD DAYTONA BEACH, DOESN\u2019T IT? 36 DEGREES. THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE 37 IN ORLANDO, 32 IN THE VILLAGES, AND WE\u2019RE AT 28 DEGREES IN OCALA. SO YES, IT\u2019S A COLD ONE WE\u2019RE TALKING ABOUT, AT LEAST IN OUR NORTHERN SPOTS, THE THREAT OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES. NOW, HERE\u2019S THE THING. FROST IN OUR MORE SHELTERED LOCATIONS, A THING WHERE IT\u2019S NOT NECESSARILY SHELTERED. WE\u2019LL TALK ABOUT WIND CHILLS BECAUSE THERE\u2019S AS BREEZY OF A CONDITION AS THERE IS AROUND 5 TO 10 MILES AN HOUR. BUT NO SNOW, NO ICE, NO FREEZING RAIN. JUST HAD TO THROW THAT OUT THERE TODAY. ONCE WE START WITH THE SUNSHINE, THE TEMPERATURES WILL WARM BEAUTIFULLY 58 DEGREES. OUR HIGH TEMPERATURE IN ORLANDO 58 DEGREES. HUNTERS CREEK 56. IN WINTER GARDEN 57. IN DEBARY, 56. IN ORANGE CITY IN OVIEDO WILL CLIMB TO ABOUT 57 DEGREES AROUND THE REST OF TOWN. NOT MUCH OF A VARIETY. IT\u2019S THE 50S FOR MOST OF US, 59 IN OCALA, 54 PALM COAST AND 60 DEGREES HERE IN MELBOURNE. BEAUTIFUL WEATHER. TEMPERATURES RUNNING WAY BELOW AVERAGE SHOULD BE AT 72 DEGREES. IN ORLANDO. THAT 58 WILL COME UP SHORT AND OBVIOUSLY ALL OF OUR READINGS WILL BE NOT TO RECORDS, BUT TO WELL BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. NOW, TODAY, IT\u2019S OBVIOUSLY A FRIGID START. WE\u2019RE GOING TO KEEP NICE AND COLD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON FOR TOMORROW. WE\u2019LL START WITH JACKET WEATHER, BUT IT\u2019S NOT AS COLD. AND THEN LATER IN THE WEEK, LITTLE BY LITTLE WILL WARM UP THOSE TEMPERATURES. NOW WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TOMORROW, THESE KIND OF LAVENDER COLORS, THAT\u2019S WHERE WE EXPECT FREEZING TEMPERATURES. THE LIGHTER BLUES ARE MORE OF A FROST. OKAY. 30 IN OCALA, 31 MARION OAKS EXPECTING 33 HERE IN SUMMERVILLE, 36 IN TAVARES AND 37 IN CLERMONT. AGAIN JUST OUTSIDE OF THE METRO. COULD BE TALKING. FROST TOMORROW MORNING. 39 IN SANFORD, 38 DEGREES HERE IN WEDGEFIELD BITHLO ABOUT 46 IN TITUSVILLE. NOW THE PATTERN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS KEEPS THAT COLD AIR WELL NORTH OF US UP IN CANADA, WHICH MEANS TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO START TO CLIMB. WE\u2019LL BE TO NEARLY 80 DEGREES THIS WEEKEND. BUT LOOKING AT THE LONG RANGE MODELS, WHILE BOTH MODELS SHOW FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WARM, THE GFS BRINGS TEMPERATURES DOWN SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THE EUROPEAN MORE MONDAY TUESDAY. SO THEY\u2019RE BOTH SHOWING A COLD FRONT EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE EXACT TIMING NEEDS TO BE WORKED OUT, BUT JUST KNOW THAT YES, WHILE TEMPERATURES ARE BACK TO NEARLY 80 FRIDAY SATURDAY, THEY DON\u2019T STAY THERE THE ENTIRE TIME. WE DO\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
