WE START WITH SANDRA KICKING IT OFF FOR US. I WAS OUT LOOKING FOR SWEATS AS WELL. ANYWAY, AND STEPHEN\u2019S FACE I THINK SAYS IT ALL. HE\u2019S JUST LIKE, WHAT IS THIS SOUTH FLORIDA ARE WE NORMALIZING THE ARCTIC AIR? WE HAVE BEEN IN A 2026, BUT FREEZE WARNINGS ACTIVE IN OKEECHOBEE. WE JUST DROPPED TO FREEZING THERE, AS WE\u2019VE BEEN PREDICTING ALL WEEK LONG. WE HAVE FROST ADVISORIES UP IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, COLD WEATHER ADVISORIES ELSEWHERE. NOW THE AFTERNOON WILL BE FINE, BUT CERTAINLY NOT RIGHT NOW. IT IS ACTUALLY, THESE ARE ACTUAL TEMPERATURES 32 DEGREES IN OKEECHOBEE. SEND US YOUR FROST PICTURES IF YOU\u2019RE UP IN IR COUNTY, BECAUSE WE\u2019VE GOT THE LOW 30S THERE AS WELL, 35 UP AROUND FELLSMERE. WE HAVE 36 IN FORT PIERCE. IT\u2019S IN THE 40S IN HOBE SOUND, 46 OUT OF PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL AND 47 IN DELRAY BEACH THIS MORNING. BUT SEVERE WEATHER WARNING UP UNTIL 9 A.M. THIS IS FOR THE TREASURE COAST. OUR PLANNER SHOWING THE 30S HANGING ON AND HOLDING THE LINE, YOU KNOW, ON AVERAGE AREA WIDE WITH THE COLDEST AIR IN AND AROUND OKEECHOBEE. AND THEN WE YIELD TO NICER CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE UPPER 60S AND A BLUE SKY DAY AHEAD. BRIGHT SUNSHINE FOR THE PALM BEACHES. AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE IN THE UPPER 60S THIS AFTERNOON. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE MENTIONED THE 20S. THAT\u2019S PRETTY MUCH A GIVEN FOR THE WIND CHILLS, VERY BULLISH AGGRESSIVE READINGS HERE ON THIS MODEL SHOWING POSSIBLY WIND CHILLS IN THE TEENS 16 TO 1819 DEGREES ON PARTS OF THE TREASURE COAST ON SUNDAY MORNING. AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE FEELING LIKE THE 20S IN THE PALM BEACHES.
