Florida Braces for Another Cold Friday Morning as Wind Chills Drop Into the 20s Across the State
FLORIDA — Another cold morning is setting up across the state after a fresh front pushed through, sending chilly, windy air rushing in. Forecast graphics highlight “Cold Again Friday AM” conditions, with several cities expected to wake up to below-freezing or near-freezing temperatures and wind chills that feel even colder before a warmer, more typical Florida pattern returns next week.
Florida Low Temperatures and “Feels Like” Readings for Friday Morning
The map shows both the forecast low and what it may feel like with the wind. North Florida appears coldest, with Tallahassee at 29° (feels like 25°) and Gainesville at 30° (feels like 26°). Farther northeast, Jacksonville is shown at 33° (feels like 28°), while Daytona Beach is 35° (feels like 30°).
Across Central Florida, values stay cold enough for a brisk start, including Orlando at 36° (feels like 32°) and Lakeland at 36° (feels like 32°). Along the Space Coast, Melbourne is 37° (feels like 32°).
Central and South Florida Still Chilly, But Milder Than the Panhandle
Even in areas that usually avoid the sharpest cold, the forecast shows a noticeably cool morning. Brooksville is listed at 32° (feels like 29°), and Tampa is 39° (feels like 33°). In the interior, Sebring is 38° (feels like 33°).
Along the Treasure Coast and South Florida, temperatures remain higher but still cooler than normal for many residents, with Stuart at 40° (feels like 35°) and West Palm at 42° (feels like 37°). Southwest Florida readings include Sarasota at 41° (feels like 35°) and Fort Myers at 40° (feels like 35°).
Why It Feels Colder and What Happens Next Week
The key message behind this forecast is the wind: once the front passes, cold, windy conditions can make already-low temperatures feel several degrees colder, especially around sunrise. The same update also signals this is not a long-term freeze pattern, with more typical Florida warmth expected to return next week after this brief cold push.
