Orlando Forecast: December 2nd, 2024

FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Noah Bergren tracks how long the cold will stick around for this week.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Clear and cold conditions will dominate across Central Florida overnight. Freeze warnings are in effect for Ocala and Alachua counties, while frost advisories cover The Villages and inland areas of Volusia and Flagler counties.

Expect a sunny day, but temperatures will struggle to climb out of the lower 60s by the afternoon. Officials urge everyone to follow the Five Ps for Cold Weather Preparedness: Protect People, Protect Pets, Protect Pipe (including Pools), Protect Plants and Practice Fire Safety.

WEDNESDAY: The week’s coldest morning brings air temperatures ranging from the 30s to 40s, with wind chills making it feel even colder.

Despite the brisk conditions, skies will remain clear, offering relief from recent rainy weather.

Residents are urged to bundle up as overnight lows could dip significantly, creating a stark contrast to the usual Florida warmth.

LOOKING AHEAD: A front is expected Friday, bringing a few clouds and the possibility of a sprinkle. The weekend looks spectacular, with abundant sunshine and highs in the 70s. For those tired of the chill, a warm-up is on the horizon. By mid-next week, highs may reach the 80s around December 10 and 11.

Stay tuned to FOX 35 for the latest updates and tips to stay comfortable during the chilly spell.
