Did you get some rain today? If not, I do sincerely apologize, but if you\u2019re someone who resides down in our southern viewing counties, you may have got some thunder and lightning alongside your heavy rain. <\/p>\n
It was a sight to behold for sure, especially as things continue to dry out. <\/p>\n
The jet stream is digging and sending this front right through us, as well as a large slug of very dry, windy air (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved)<\/p>\n
But now, we watch as temperatures tumble and winds really ramp up. It\u2019s already fairly breezy outside now, and you can just feel that dry note to the air as our air mass begins to change. <\/p>\n
Our latest cold front has worked off to our south, welcoming a wintry revival through Central Florida. <\/p>\n
Tonight, temperatures will tumble. The combination of incoming cold, dry air alongside these aggressive northerly winds will drop us right back into what feels like peak winter time. <\/p>\n
But I promise you, it\u2019s not how it looks. <\/p>\n
As frigid temps settle in, a cold weather advisory is in effect in tandem with our freeze watch (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved)<\/p>\n
For the next two days you will need to make sure your favorite jacket or jacket(s) are washed and ironed. Tomorrow morning won\u2019t be our chilliest temps but it certainly be a bit of a shock to the system after the record highs we endured Friday and Saturday. <\/p>\n
All of us are beneath a freeze watch the next couple days as unseasonably cold temps take over (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved)<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll want to dress in warm layers, bring pets indoors, and limit your time outdoors if you can. <\/p>\n
Tuesday morning unveils what this latest punch of cold air has to offer. Feels like temps will likely settle into the upper 20s in our northern counties and right at freezing for the rest of us in Orlando and outer-lying areas. <\/p>\n
Red flag warnings and fire weather watches are in effect for the entirety of the Florida peninsula. It\u2019s pivotal the next few days we do our due diligence to avoid setting anything ablaze. <\/p>\n
Be mindful of anything that could generate a spark. The landscape will very easily take advantage of whatever it can find to set off our latest fire. <\/p>\n
Feels like temps have actually trended just a hair colder in the last 24 hours, which means we’re in for a pretty brutal Tuesday wake up (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved)<\/p>\n
Now brace yourself, the National Weather Service has been busy. Because of this, I\u2019m about to unravel a parchment paper of alerts you should be aware of. <\/p>\n
First, cold weather advisories are in effect. They go valid tonight at 3 a.m. Monday and last until a couple hours after sunrise. <\/p>\n
A freeze watch begins the morning of Tuesday at 3 a.m., until 9 a.m,. as well to mirror the cold weather advisory going live tomorrow. <\/p>\n
Red flag warnings are in effect today and extended through Tuesday. Last but certainly not least, fire weather watches are also still out for portions of our viewing area with these drying conditions getting ready to take hold. <\/p>\n
What is this? Look at that range of temperatures between Monday and Friday of the last full week of February (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved)<\/p>\n
Despite the slew of alerts blanketing our lovely state, the impacts to your day to day will be limited to cranking your cars heater and maybe flipping your a\/c inside from cold to warm all over again. At least temporarily. <\/p>\n
We come out of all this wintry mayhem by Wednesday. Sure, the morning will still be a tad on the cooler side. But afternoon highs bounce right back into the 70s and then the 80s as we near the last day of February. <\/p>\n
Where is the time going? <\/p>\n
This upcoming weekend, by the way, is looking fairly interesting. I will have details coming soon on what to expect as we round out February and wander our way into March. <\/p>\n
