FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Noah Bergren talks about a big warmup next week... mid 80s then the potential for storms and another big drop in temperature.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A cold front will bring cooler weather and isolated showers, mainly in northern East Central Florida tonight.

Temperatures will drop to the 40s inland and along Volusia County, with coastal areas seeing lows in the 50s. Wind chill values or "feels like" temperatures will dip from the mid-30s to the low 40s. Skies will be clear, and gusty winds will make it feel colder.

Northerly winds behind the front will worsen boating and surf conditions into the evening. A Freeze Watch is in effect overnight for Alachua and Marion counties.
