Treasure Coast Weather

Florida's severe weather week is here. And it's a great reminder that weather disasters can happen all year long - not just during hurricane season. From extreme cold to extreme heat, and everything in between, now is a great time to make sure you’re prepared.

Freeze alerts are in effect for Sunday night across much of Florida. This prolonged freeze will likely impact the crops in Florida.

AS the cold front pushes through Florida, the winds will pick up and Arctic air sinks over the state. Prepare for extreme cold.

New alerts are in effect for Florida, and watches will likely become warnings as early as Friday, as extremely cold temperatures are expected to affect the state on Saturday and Sunday.

This will not be the coldest air mass of the season, but it could be the coldest air mass felt in over a decade for some. Some flurries are also possible.

Ocean effect snow is a rare phenomenon in Florida. Similar to lake effect snow, it takes place when cold air moves over warm water.

Cold weather advisories are in effect for Central and Southwest Florida, while the most extreme cold takes over the Panhandle, where temperatures could feel as low as 9 F for some.

While the winter precipitation and dangerous weather stay well to the north, a cold front will bring cooler weather to Florida this coming week. Freeze and cold alerts are in effect.

Most of the storm activity will be done by late evening. Then a cold air mass will sink in place. Freeze and cold alerts are in effect.

The extensive winter storm brewing over the Rockies and Plains will impact millions over the weekend. Florida will be spared from winter precipitation, but not from the cold.
