Arctic blast brings record-breaking cold to Florida
Florida is preparing for what could be its coldest weekend in decades as an intense Arctic blast sweeps through, bringing temperatures down to levels rarely experienced in the Sunshine State. Starting Saturday night and continuing into early next week, overnight lows are expected to plummet to the mid-20s in Orlando and the mid-30s in Miami. Some areas may even challenge historical temperature records set in 2010, 1989, 1977, and 1966.
