Hey Florida group, looks like some more cold air is headed your way and may actually bring a frost or freeze to cooler areas of the bay area… This would actually make the temps in Florida colder than they are here in Texas. Our forecast for Thanksgiving day is chance of rain and 58 for a high, 38 for a low. Below is a copy and paste from a public information statement the National Weather Service published for the upcoming cold:
...Another night of record cold temperatures possible Wednesdaynight...
Another surge of modified Arctic air will be moving into the regiontonight and Wednesday. Then during Wednesday night and early
Thursday morning winds will become light under clear skies whichwill lead to good radiational cooling. This will allow temperaturesto drop some 15 to 25 degrees below normal by Thursday morning withreadings forecast to fall below freezing across much of the Nature
Coast...and into the middle and upper 30s in most other interiorlocations. Frost will also be likely across the Nature Coast withthe potential for frost further southward into inland portions ofcentral and southwest Florida.
These cold temperatures will approach record values for this datein a few locations...but no where near the all-time November recordswhich range from the high teens across the far north to upper 20sfar south. Below is a table of the record low temperatures at
sites around the area for November 27.
