Overview
- The National Weather Service has issued freeze warnings for more than 50 of Florida’s 67 counties overnight through Friday morning, with many inland areas expected to drop below 32°F.
- Interior lows could reach about 22°F across the Panhandle and parts of north and central Florida, while NWS offices in Melbourne and Miami note wind chills in the mid‑20s for some inland sections farther south.
- Officials warn frost and freezes could kill crops, damage sensitive vegetation, and burst unprotected pipes, urging residents to wrap or drain outdoor plumbing and bring pets indoors.
- Cold alerts also reach into portions of southeast Georgia, southeast Alabama, and South Carolina, with the coldest temperatures anticipated just before sunrise Friday.
- Temperatures should rebound into the 50s and 60s Friday afternoon, and a second front Sunday carries a low probability of flurries near the Georgia line; Orlando’s official snowfall record remains 0.0 inches.
