ORLANDO, Fla. -
We're off to another cold start to the morning across Central Florida.

A Freeze Warning is in place for all counties (except Brevard) until 9 a.m. Mostly sunny skies will prevail despite a few clouds this morning.
Mostly clear skies will allow temperatures to turn cold once again. Lows will fall into the low to mid 30s by daybreak tomorrow morning. Patchy frost is possible.
The cold continues tomorrow morning as low temperatures fall into the low and middle 30s.
Cold Weather Advisories and Freeze Warnings are already in place overnight until tomorrow at 9am. Even under sunny skies, temperatures will be below-average. Plan for highs to only reach the low 60s tomorrow afternoon under mostly sunny skies.
