FPREN

Severe Weather Awareness Week was designed to increase awareness of and preparedness for severe weather hazards.

In Florida, wildfire season runs year-round with a peak between late spring and early summer when drought is more likely.

Central Florida and South Florida will have warm weather in the high-70s and low-80s throughout the first week of February.

Not even the most seasoned Floridians anticipated the magnitude of the epic snowstorm that shattered Florida’s snow records last week.

Abundant cloud cover and rain will keep overnight temperatures more mild, with lows in the 50s and 60s throughout Central Florida.

Early January rain was sporadic, and although welcomed, it was not enough to dent the abnormally dry conditions dominating Central Florida.

In central Florida, the coldest temps will be from 4:-00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. Thursday morning. Inland counties will have several hours of freezing temperatures.

The same weather system that produced ice and snow across the Plains through the Mid-Atlantic will pull very cold air toward Florida.

Rain and storms will exit Central Florida by Wednesday afternoon. Temperatures will fall throughout the day on Wednesday.

FPREN: Expect a brief cooldown before temperatures start to rise again in Florida.

178 tornadoes were spawned from tropical cyclones this year including Hurricanes Debby, Helene, Milton and Beryl.

Thanksgiving week is serving up sloppy weather in the U.S. including snow, and some of the coldest temperatures since February.
