What a change from yesterday! This time yesterday we had lots of low clouds and fog, with temps in the low to mid 60's. This morning? A howling northwest wind coming straight out of Canada (around yet another major winter storm in the Northeast) and temps that are falling out of the low 50's and into the 40's area wide. In fact, there's a wind chill advisory this morning across inland southwest Florida where temps are already in the low 40's this morning!
There are some clouds around this morning, these will move out over the next few hours and we end up with a mostly sunny sky today. The wind won't be quite as strong by the afternoon but it will be chilly today with temps in the upper 50's and low 60's. For tonight, the coldest air will be with us and with high pressure just to our northwest -- we'll end up with a mainly clear sky and light wind. What does that add up to? A cold night! Temperatures will fall to near freezing deep inland (around US-27 through Glades and Highlands, most notably).. to near 40 along the coast. High clouds move in ahead of our next storm tomorrow afternoon with temperatures climbing back toward the mid to upper 60's.
As the big winer storm continues to spin over the northeast (this one's going nowhere fast.. and it'll keep our pattern unsettled and cooler than average for several days!), our next front comes through on Saturday afternoon with rain likely Saturday night. Sunday clears out.. but clouds return Monday ahead of our next chance of rain Monday night and early Tuesday.
