ALL RIGHT, WELL, LISTEN. SO THIS MORNING, IT\u2019S STARTING TO FEEL LIKE THE HOLIDAYS, AS WE WOULD HOPE FOR. IT IS CHILLY, BUT IT\u2019S GOING TO BE GETTING EVEN CHILLIER TONIGHT OUTSIDE LIV. I DO WANT TO SHOW YOU OUR TOWER CAM NETWORK. THIS IS OVER IN VOLUSIA COUNTY. WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CLOUD COVER AND THAT WILL BE KIND OF HERE OR THERE THROUGH THE DAY. 47 DEGREES. OUR CURRENT TEMPERATURE IN NEW SMYRNA BEACH. IT\u2019S 50 DEGREES IN ORLANDO, 46 IN LEESBURG AND 43 IN OCALA. THESE READINGS ARE RUNNING ABOUT FIVE, TEN, EVEN 15 DEGREES COOLER THAN THEY WERE YESTERDAY. AND WE\u2019RE JUST NOT MOVING A TON. AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE THIS TIME OF YEAR IS 72 DEGREES, SO WE WON\u2019T EVEN BE IN THE BALLPARK 59 DEGREES. OUR HIGH TEMPERATURE IN ORLANDO, WHICH MEANS THAT WE\u2019RE JUST NOT MOVING MUCH BECAUSE TEMPERATURES ARE NOT ALL THAT DIFFERENT THAN US RIGHT NOW. 57 DEGREES IN LEESBURG, 55 IN OCALA, 56 FOR PALM COAST AND 61 IN TITUSVILLE. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A NICE CHILLY BREEZE ALL DAY. WE\u2019LL HAVE CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE IN, BUT THEN TONIGHT, THAT\u2019S WHEN THE REAL CHILL ARRIVES. WE HAVE FREEZE WATCHES POSTED FOR INLAND VOLUSIA, LAKE MARION, SUMTER COUNTIES AND OF COURSE POINTS TO THE NORTH. A FREEZE WATCH MEANS THAT WE MAY GET INTO THE BALLPARK OF FREEZING FOR THE REST OF US. WE HAVE COLD WEATHER ADVISORIES, AND THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE WIND CHILL THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE PLAYING IN FOR TONIGHT. AND WHILE IT\u2019S GOING TO BE COLD, WE DON\u2019T EXPECT RECORD TEMPERATURES FORECAST ON THE LEFT OR RECORDS ON THE RIGHT. WE\u2019RE NOT EVEN GOING TO BE CLOSE. ALTHOUGH LOOKING AT THIS, I GOT TO TELL YOU, I DON\u2019T REMEMBER THE YEAR 2000 BEING ALL THAT COLD, BUT THESE RECORDS WOULD SAY OTHERWISE. IT WAS A CHILLY, CHILLY DAY THAT YEAR. APPARENTLY TOMORROW MORNING WE\u2019LL WAKE UP TO 37 IN THE CITY, 33 HERE IN LEESBURG, 30 DEGREES IN THE VILLAGES AND 28 IN OCALA. SO I AM FORECASTING A FREEZE IN OUR NORTHWESTERN AREAS. AND WHILE WE WON\u2019T GET TO FREEZING IN THE METRO, LOOK AT THE WIND CHILLS. THIS IS WHY WE\u2019RE CALLING IT IMPACT WEATHER TOMORROW MORNING, BECAUSE IT WILL FEEL LIKE 32. IN ORLANDO, 25 IN THE VILLAGES, 25 IN WILDWOOD AND 29 IN DAYTONA BEACH. SO WE DEFINITELY WANT TO BE BUNDLED UP OUT THE DOOR IN THE MORNING. SO COLD TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILLS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE WITH US AT THE MOMENT. THE THREAT OF FROST IS LOW. HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE TO SEE HOW THE WINDS PLAY OUT TOMORROW NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. WE MAY HAVE TO START WORKING INTO SOME FROST EITHER WAY. TOMORROW AFTERNOON WE WARM UP. NOT MUCH, BUT WE WARM UP FROM THE 30S TO THE 50S AND LOWER 60S. AND FOR TOMORROW EVENING, PLANS. IT IS NEW YEAR\u2019S EVE, AFTER ALL. WE\u2019RE WATCHING THOSE TEMPERATURES DROP. 9 P.M. KIDS COUNT DOWN TO 47 DEGREES AND IT\u2019S 43 AT 1159. AFTER THAT, WE START THE CLIMBING TREND. NEW YEAR\u2019S DAY 66, THEN 70 ON FRIDAY AND FOR THE WEEKEND\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA cold front has arrived, bringing significantly colder temperatures and marking the start of a series of days that will require jackets and sweatshirts.
