Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 12:01 · Archive

The coldest temperatures in months arrive in Florida this weekend, with morning lows dropping into the 30s and 40s.

The strongest weather front of the season has brought a significant cold blast to Florida this weekend. Morning temperatures are expected to fall into the 30s and 40s across the region, marking the coldest conditions since March for some areas. A frost advisory is in effect for much of the area, with widespread light frost expected.

The cold is driven by a combination of clear skies, dry air and northwesterly winds funnelling cold air into the region. Daytime highs will struggle to warm significantly, reaching only the mid-60s on Saturday and low-70s by Sunday as the winds gradually shift to the northeast and lighten. Residents are advised to bring in cold-sensitive plants or cover them to protect against frost damage.

The pattern will begin to change early in the week as low pressure develops to the south, bringing cloudier conditions and breezy winds. Temperatures will gradually moderate, with highs returning to the 60s early in the week before warming back into the 70s by the end of the week.
