Coldest air in 10 months on the way for parts of Southwest Florida

A non-tropical low pressure system centered between the Madeira Islands and the Azores has become less organized over the past 24 hours.

Environmental conditions are expected to be less favorable, and subtropical development is no longer expected.

Regardless of formation, this system will continue to produce strong winds and locally heavy rain in the Madeira Islands and the Azores through Wednesday.

Right now, the National Hurricane Center is giving it a 10% chance of development.

Back in SW Florida, the strongest cold front this Fall has pushed across the area. Its been a beautiful day because of it, with lots of sun, and lower & humidity.

By tomorrow morning, get ready for some of the coldest air in ten months across Southwest Florida! It’s not out of the question we could approach record low values for a few spots.

Lows will dip into the 30s and 40s with wind chills even lower. Please be safe and grab the jacket before heading out the door!
