Orlando Weather Forecast: Friday Nov. 22nd

FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Noah Bergren talks about how long Florida will feel frigid for.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Central Florida will see clear skies overnight on what will be the coldest night of this spell.

Air temperatures will drop into the 30s and 40s. Patchy frost is possible on elevated surfaces, particularly along roads such as I-75.

This marks some of the coldest air since February and March.

This Weekend

Cool weather continues on Saturday, with morning lows in the 40s and some areas, such as Alachua and Marion counties, dipping into the upper 30s. Sunshine will return, but it won’t significantly warm temperatures. Highs on Saturday remain in the mid-60s — about 10 degrees below average.

There are cold weather alerts for portions of the Florida Panhandle for Saturday morning, where there is a frost advisory.

After a chilly start to the day on Sunday with lows down in the upper 30s to mid-40s, temperatures will trend slightly warmer through the day, with highs reaching the mid-70s.

LOOKING AHEAD: The dry weather pattern extends into next week, accompanied by a gradual warming trend.

Highs will return to the mid- to upper 70s by midweek, closer to seasonal norms. It will be a quiet Wednesday next week in Florida. Rain and storms will build in the Heartland of America as another storm system develops.
