Central Florida temperatures to plunge
The FOX 35 Storm Team has declared Saturday and Sunday Impact Weather Days due to freezing temperatures.
ORLANDO, Fla. - We're tracking the coldest air in four years rolling into Central Florida this weekend! Clouds will still be the general theme today, a few showers will be possible as well.
The strong cold front will quickly sweep through Florida later this evening, winds will increase from the northwest funneling a mighty chill through the overnight hours.
Lows tonight into early Saturday bottom out in the 30s in most locations with the air cold enough to promote a light freeze over northern Florida. Wind Chill Advisories are in effect Saturday morning from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. "Feels like" temps Saturday morning will range from 25-27 degrees, so certainly bundle up if you're heading out early.

Highs on Weather Impact Day Saturday will be stuck in the 40s despite full sunshine and winds will be very gusty through the afternoon hours.
The coldest air will be arriving overnight Saturday into Sunday morning. Currently, Freeze Watches are up for much of the area for Sunday morning. These watches will likely get upgraded to Freeze Warnings. A HARD FREEZE is possible as far south as northern portions of Lake and Volusia counties. A lighter freeze looks likely closer to Orlando.
