Florida Chills: Lowest Temps of Season Arrive!

Florida residents should prepare for the coldest temperatures of the season, with a significant cold front set to bring frigid air across the state. This front is expected to move through northern Florida late on November 12, reaching Central Florida early on November 13, and exiting South Florida by Friday evening. Reinforcing shots of cool, dry air will persist through the weekend.

Several areas could experience frost or freezing conditions from Friday night through Sunday night. The coldest overnight temperatures are anticipated to be near or below freezing in interior regions. This cold spell, though short-lived, will bring temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below historical averages, making Saturday likely the chilliest day since March.

Meanwhile, the Atlantic hurricane season is nearing its official end on November 30. Forecasters indicate that the season is largely over concerning direct impacts on the United States. Florida was directly affected by Hurricane Isaias earlier in the season. El Niño conditions are noted as a factor that could bring severe weather, including tornadoes and flooding, to Florida this winter.
