Overview
- The National Weather Service upgraded a prior watch to a Freeze Warning from 1:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. EST on January 16 for the Walt Disney World area.
- Forecast guidance calls for sub‑freezing readings near 27°F and wind chills around 23°F, with northwest gusts up to 30 mph making it feel colder before sunrise.
- The alert covers much of Central Florida, including Orange and Osceola counties that encompass Disney property, as well as Seminole, Lake, Volusia, Brevard (inland), Indian River (inland), Saint Lucie (inland), and Okeechobee.
- Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon remains closed through at least Friday, and early park hours may see delayed openings or temporary pauses for outdoor attractions and water features; no broad park closures have been announced.
- After the warning expires Friday morning, highs reach the upper 50s to mid‑60s, a modest warmup arrives Saturday, and another cold front is forecast to return Sunday.
