Florida is under a statewide weather warning as a historic Arctic air mass barrels south, bringing freezing temperatures and the potential for snow in parts of the Sunshine State.
What to Expect
Frost and Freeze Warnings: Lows plunging into the 20s°F (-6°C) in northern regions, with freeze conditions extending into central Florida, including Orlando and Tampa.
Rare Snowfall Possible: Light snow flurries may grace areas as far south as Gainesville and Jacksonville, with reports suggesting a slight chance for icy precipitation even closer to the I-4 corridor.
High Wind Chill Risk: Gusty winds will make already frigid temperatures feel even colder, with wind chills potentially dipping below freezing in parts of southern Florida.
Regions Affected
North Florida: Tallahassee, Jacksonville – Expect hard freezes and a strong likelihood of frost.
Central Florida: Orlando, Tampa – Sub-freezing overnight temperatures likely.
South Florida: Miami, Fort Lauderdale – Low temperatures in the mid-40s°F (7°C), with gusty winds making it feel even colder.
Safety Actions to Take
Protect Plants and Pets: Cover outdoor plants or bring them inside. Keep pets indoors with adequate warmth.
Prepare for Power Outages: High wind conditions could disrupt power lines in some areas. Have flashlights and batteries on hand.
Travel Caution: Icy patches may form on roads, especially on bridges and overpasses in the northern half of the state.
Stay Warm: Layer up! Avoid prolonged exposure to the cold, especially during peak freeze hours overnight.
