Discussion

Low pressure will form just to our east today and it will intensify rapidly over the next 36 hours so that by the time it reaches the waters east of Maine, it’ll have hurricane-like strength and winds. After a chilly rain here today and this evening, it’ll turn much colder in the overnight hours and lows by morning should be in the 30’s across much of central Florida. This kind of chill will continue on Thursday as well and temperatures by early Friday are likely to be within a few degrees of the freezing mark. To go along with the chill, winds will become quite persistent and wind chill values will be noticeably lower than the actual air temperatures.
