(WCTV) &#8211; Another freeze is expected for the region tonight as temperatures fall into the 20s behind a cold front that did not give us much rain. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The area could really use some decent rainfall, as the latest drought monitor shows a worsening and expanding drought across North Florida and South Georgia. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The recent update does not factor in yesterday\u2019s rainfall, but it certainly will not put a dent in the lack of rainfall we have seen over the last several months. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Meteorologist Austin Lowe has a look at the numbers and is also tracking a warm-up for the weekend.
