ORLANDO, Fla. – After a much warmer weekend, a blast of cold air originating from Siberia, will move into Florida.
That cold air could set the stage for snow and ice across parts of the state early next week. For Central Florida, however, it will likely be a cold rain.
The red line in the graphic above traces the air mass arriving in Central Florida back to Siberia!
Now, the air mass will modify significantly by the time it reaches Florida, but it will still supply the Sunshine State with the coldest air of the season to date.
As the Arctic front approaches Central Florida on Sunday, rain and thunderstorms will be likely. Sunday has been designated as an Inconvenient Weather Day as the weather could impact your plans.
Saturday
Expect clouds to go on the increase with the chance for scattered downpours as warmer, tropical air surges into Central Florida. Highs climb into the mid-to-upper 70s. Rain chances on Saturday are 40%.
The highest rain chances will likely happen late Friday into Saturday morning.
Sunday
Look for a line of rain and thunderstorms to enter Marion and Flagler counties early Sunday morning.
The line pushes into the I-4 corridor later Sunday morning and through the afternoon.
The rain and storm chances abruptly come to an end late Sunday afternoon and evening.
Temperatures will begin to fall quickly as the Arctic cold front moves through Central Florida.
Temperatures in the 70s Sunday will fall into the 30s and 40s by Monday morning.
The active and cold stretch of weather looks to continue for much of the week ahead.
