Christmas will be in the 50s in Central Florida

Temperatures are expected to rise into the 70s on Thursday, but a cold front is expected to bring rain Christmas Eve and cool things down a little by Christmas with a high in the 50s.

Saturday will struggle to get to 60 degrees.

 Winter arrived at 5:02 a.m. on Monday so I thought this was a good time to talk about the coldest temperatures on record. The coldest ever recorded in Florida was 2  below zero recorded on Feb. 13, 1899. The United States record is 70 Below in Rogers Pass, Montana in 1954. The lowest temperature ever directly recorded at ground level on Earth is 129 below zero at the Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica on July 21, 1983.  If you have any weather questions, you can reach me at weather1@charter.net

Merry Christmas!
