It has been a chilly evening across all of Central Florida, and temps will continue to tumble overnight.

  • Coldest air of the season
  • Lows in upper 30s, low 40s
  • Cold start to Sunday

Clear skies will remain with breezy conditions, as overnight lows fall into the 30s and low 40s.

A Freeze Warning continues for Marion Co. through early morning, where temps could fall below freezing around daybreak. Potted plants should be moved indoors and sensitive vegetation should be covered in the Ocala area.

It will be a very crisp start to Sunday. A Wind Chill Advisory is up for the morning hours, with “feels like” temps area-wide in the 30s. We will see plenty of sun throughout the day, but temps will only climb into the upper 50s.

Another very cold night is expected, with a freeze possible again in Marion Co. Patchy frost will also be a concern Sunday Night is areas north and northwest of Orlando. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 30s.

The cool air will remain in place for next week. We’ll see plenty of sun both Monday and Tuesday, with highs in the 60s and low 70s.

Another round of cool air arrives midweek. This will send temps back into the low to mid 60s Wednesday and Thursday with sunny skies.

Yet another cold front arrives on Friday. This could spark a few isolated showers with temps holding in the low 70s.

There are some early indications that warmer weather may finally return by next weekend, with temps in the low to mid 70s.

The last time it snowed in Orlando

Snow is the last thing we think about in Florida, and many current residents escaped the north to get away from snow.

Nevertheless, it has happened in Florida, and even as far south as Miami.

Many times the snow we see in Central Florida is called ocean-effect snow, similar to lake effect snow.

But every once in a very great while, we see a dusting in the Orlando area. And in 1977, we actually saw a few inches.

Here are a few notable dates from the last 50 years:

  • Jan. 8-9, 2010 -- Reports of light snowfall from Marion County down to Melbourne in Brevard County.
  • Jan. 3, 2008 -- Snow flurries in Daytona Beach.
  • Nov. 21, 2006 -- A light dusting and snowflakes in Central Florida.
  • Jan. 24, 2003 -- Ocean-effect snow in Volusia County.
  • Dec. 23-24, 1989 -- Light snow led to a white Christmas for some in Florida, including in Palm Coast in Flagler County.
  • Jan. 18, 1977 -- A combination of weather systems created an arctic blast that sent cold temperatures all the way down to Miami, where it snowed. Orlando and Tampa saw as much as six inches of rain in some isolated spots, though one to two inches was more common.
