Cold turkey! Front to bring coolest Thanksgiving in years to Central Florida

Highs struggle to climb out of the 60s with a mix of clouds and sun

ORLANDO, Fla. – A cold front is on the move this Thanksgiving eve. Expect a few scattered downpours through Wednesday evening if you are headed out to grab last-minute items for your Thanksgiving feast.

Clouds overnight will keep the temperatures from plunging behind the front, but it will still be jacket-worthy for some Thanksgiving morning. Turkey trots should be refreshing and dry with temperatures in the 50s.
