ORLANDO, Fla. -- Some of the coldest weather in years is expected to move into Central Florida to begin the New Year, according to Local 6 meteorologist Larry Mowry.
"This could be one of the coldest stretches of weather we've seen in about four years by the first part of 2008," Mowry said.
Mowry said a cold front will drop temperatures by Tuesday.
"But, the coldest of the air arrives on Wednesday," Mowry said. "It is into Wednesday night into Thursday morning when a freeze is possible."
Temperatures could drop into the mid 20s in northern Central Florida counties.
There is a 40 percent chance of rain on Tuesday with a low reaching 47 degrees.
"The winds will really begin to pick up Tuesday night," Mowry said. "And it is going to be cold and windy on Wednesday and Thursday."

LOL!
Supposed to be back in the 70s by the weekend :)
perfect temps for me would be between 45 and 75.
They must be revising history to jive with Al Gore's Gore-Bull Warming.
The Black Death began in 1347-1348 and came in a few waves, each time less deadly.
The "Little Ice-Age" began about 1645.
A lot of trees grew back over those couple of hundred years.
'For this reason, any of several dates ranging over 400 years may indicate the beginning of the Little Ice Age:
1250 for when Atlantic pack ice began to grow
1300 for when warm summers stopped being dependable in Northern Europe
1315 for the rains and Great Famine of 1315-1317
1550 for theorized beginning of worldwide glacial expansion
1650 for the first climatic minimum
In contrast to its uncertain beginning, there is a consensus that the Little Ice Age ended in the mid-19th century.'
Wow! Very fascinating and enlightening stuff! Thanks for that!
It will be fine here by the time you arrive- mid-70’s on Friday:)
Have a Global Warming cocktail - frozen orange juice concentrate in a glass.
I always heard that when I was a kid. I remember it being super cold in winter and hoping it would really "get" the pests, but we always got bugs next summer.
Found this thread late. I have been watching temperatures around the country daily for the past 3 months. The Southeast had been warmer then normal up until a week or two ago. My guess is that this is due to La Nina which delayed the cold winter from reaching the southeast. When La Nina and the Earths natural cooling system is working, trade winds move warm water west. This moves warm waters into the Gulf and off Florida. These warm waters may have been delaying the cold temps we have been experiencing in the West and Midwest late November and December. The fact that these cold temperatures have now broken into the southeast means, well, winter is now finally here and this one should be rather nasty. Solar surface activity has been very low for at least a year. IOW - Expect many more freezing episodes this winter in Florida.
