According to the latest weather forecasts, an Arctic blast is expected to impact a large portion of the eastern United States, including Florida, next week. The upcoming cold snap could lead to "December-like" temperatures for many areas, with forecasters predicting that Florida may be the "worst hit state" in terms of departures from historical averages.
Meteorologists anticipate that highs on Monday and Tuesday will be 10-20 degrees below the historical average, with overnight lows potentially dipping into the 30s in some regions.

While Miami may only reach the 40s, Orlando and Tampa could see temperatures in the upper 30s, which would be around 25°F below normal for this time of year.
