Frost possible in Florida during freezing Christmas weekend
FOX 35 Storm Team Chief Meteorologist Jayme King has the forecast.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Freezing temperatures are forecasted for this holiday weekend in Florida, bringing what could possibly be the coldest Christmas in more than 30 years! With temperatures expected to drop into the 20s and 30s in most areas, could we see a ‘White Christmas’ in the Sunshine State?
While most forecasters say it's unlikely that snow will fall during the big Central Florida freeze, you may remember that snow was caught on camera earlier this year when temperatures got very chilly.
Back in January, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office posted a video showing light snow falling in Lake Lorraine in the Florida Panhandle around 3 a.m.
"It's snowing!" a deputy says in the video. "See…snow."
