Coldest start of the season Saturday morning

Bundle up Southwest Florida! It will be the coldest morning of the season across the area as lows plummet into the 30s and 40s on Saturday morning, following our powerful Christmas Eve cold front.

Then, when you factor in a light northerly wind, the wind chill values will ‘feel’ like the 20s and 30s.

However, despite ample sunshine on Saturday, our highs only warm to near 60 with a light north wind near 5 to 10 MPH in the afternoon!
