NWS

National Weather Service has issued a new cold weather advisory for the western Florida Panhandle, effective from midnight tonight until 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, as the region continues to experience below-normal temperatures.

  • Today’s high temperatures will only reach the middle to upper 40s, approximately 12 to 15 degrees below normal, according to the weather service’s 4:00 a.m. forecast discussion. The cold conditions are attributed to cold air moving into the area under cloudy skies.

While Wednesday is expected to bring sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures – about 2 to 5 degrees higher than Tuesday – overnight temperatures will remain cold. Forecasters predict lows in the low to mid-20s inland and upper 20s to lower 30s along the coast.

NWS

The weather service notes that lighter winds and clearer skies tonight and Wednesday night will contribute to the colder overnight temperatures.

The current cold weather advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. today.
