...ONE OF THE COLDEST NIGHTS SO FAR THIS WINTER IN OUR AREA
EXPECTED ON SATURDAY NIGHT...
.HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE INTO THE EASTERN GULF COAST REGION ON
SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. CLEAR SKIES AND
LIGHT WINDS...IN ADDITION TO THE VERY DRY NATURE OF THE AIR
MASS...SHOULD SUPPORT STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING WITH TEMPERATURES
QUICKLY FALLING BELOW FREEZING IN THE MID TO LATE EVENING. ANALOG
AND PROBABILISTIC GUIDANCE BASED ON MODEL FORECASTS SUGGESTS
AROUND A 50 PERCENT CHANCE OF A HARD FREEZE...WHICH IS HIGH ENOUGH
TO WARRANT A WATCH FOR ALL OF OUR NON-COASTAL AREAS.
...HARD FREEZE WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SUNDAY MORNING...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN TALLAHASSEE HAS ISSUED A HARD
FREEZE WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.
* TEMPERATURE: LOWS 24 TO 26 IN MOST SPOTS. 8 TO 10 HOUR
DURATIONS BELOW FREEZING EXPECTED.
* IMPACTS: DUE TO THE WARM WINTER THUS FAR...AND A LACK OF A HARD
FREEZE...SOME VARIETIES OF PLANTS MAY HAVE STARTED SPRING
GROWTH EARLY. THEREFORE SOME PLANTS MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
DAMAGE AND EXTRA CARE MAY BE NEEDED.
