ORLANDO, Fla. — Brrr! We're feeling quite a chill in the air on this late November day, with temperatures dipping into the 30s and 40s area-wide early this morning.

Our afternoon sun wasn't enough to boost highs above 60 as we experienced the coldest daytime since January. 

Unseasonably cold high pressure building across the Southeast is reinforcing the very dry, January-like air across all of Florida. Although we've had plenty of sun filtered by a thin veil of cirrus clouds, temperatures have been stuck in the 50s. If we're able to maintain this flow of high clouds, we may be able to bump up lows slightly overnight. 

We're currently sticking with a mainly clear sky and lows in the 30s. Temperatures along the immediate coast may stay in the lower 40s. Low-lying areas are again in line for patchy frost with a more widespread area of concern tonight if the clouds stay away.

As the high begins sliding east tomorrow, we will bring temperatures back into the middle 60s under a mostly sunny sky. 

A return flow will push back over the peninsula into the weekend, with a significant warmup in store. We're looking at a mostly sunny Friday with highs in the mid to upper 70s. 

Rain and rumble coverage will bump up to 50 percent Saturday as atmospheric moisture deepens, although even with more clouds around, highs will top out either side of 80. 

We'll keep shower coverage at 30 percent Sunday and Monday, but most of us will experience a mix of sun and clouds with highs into the low to mid 80s. 

The next cold front is lined up for next Tuesday night.

Beaches have been quiet the past couple of days, thanks to our late November chill, and we'll have one more day of well below average temperatures before beach weather returns. Poor surfing conditions will remain in place thanks to a small east- to east-southeast windswell mix stirring up the Atlantic waters and mushing up the 1- to 3-foot waves. Sea surface temperatures are currently in the upper 60s along the Flagler and Volusia County coastline to low 70s along Brevard County's coast.

Tropical Update

In the tropics, we have entered the final days of hurricane season. There are no systems to track and no new development is expected.
