Florida’s Cold Snap Returns: Hazardous Air Expected Monday as 20s, 30s and 40s Sweep Deep Into the State
FLORIDA — Another round of hazardous cold is set to plunge deep into Florida on Monday, marking what forecasters are calling a “Florida vs. Winter rematch.” Temperatures similar to today’s readings are expected to drop sharply again, with 20s across the north, 30s through central Florida and 40s along southern sections of the peninsula.
The cold surge is tied to the same frontal system that may bring wintry weather to parts of the Southeast on Sunday, reigniting discussion about whether northern Florida could see a touch of snow. That possibility remains under consideration, though confidence is not yet high.
Deep Freeze Expected Across Most of the State
The cold-air graphic highlights widespread chill extending through major regions including:
- Pensacola
- Tallahassee
- Jacksonville
- Gainesville
- Orlando
- Tampa
- Cape Coral
- Port St. Lucie
- Fort Lauderdale
- Miami
Monday’s air mass appears strong enough to push well past the Florida–Georgia line, with the map shading nearly the entire peninsula under hazardous cold conditions.
Temperatures to Mirror the Current Cold Pattern
Forecast notes describe this as a repeat performance, with the same shocking temperature spread:
- 20s in the northern counties
- 30s across the central region
- 40s holding on in the far south
The update jokingly captures the state’s frustration: “Who ordered this madness?”
Despite the bitter conditions, no new impacts beyond the cold surge were mentioned. However, the continued monitoring of potential wintry action to the north remains part of the developing weather picture.
Snow in North Florida? Still Being Watched
While the main emphasis is on the cold outbreak, the early-week setup ties back to a broader system affecting the Southeast. The text confirms that snow in north Florida is still being watched, though details are not yet locked in.
This aligns with the winter pattern stretching from the Gulf Coast to the Carolinas, where upper-level disturbances and cold air are interacting over the weekend.
Hazardous Cold to Dominate Monday’s Forecast
The graphic titled “Cold Snap Round Two” makes clear that Monday will be the focal point of the next temperature plunge, with nearly the entire state highlighted under a deep-blue cold-risk zone.
Residents are encouraged to prepare for another night and morning of unusually cold conditions — especially in areas unaccustomed to repeated freezes.
