'Coldest' Day In 51 Years Expected In Orlando; 2 Records Likely Broken

A cold front moving through Orlando is dropping temperatures to record lows for the end of October, likely breaking several 50-year "coldest day" marks.

"If we don't hit 67 degrees, it will be the coldest we've ever been on Oct. 28," Local 6 meteorologist Eric Wilson said. "Sixty-seven degrees is the old, lowest maximum temperatures, meaning the coldest day 51 years ago."

The lowest temperature for Orlando on Oct. 28 was 67 degrees in 1957.

The cooler weather was expected to continue in Central Florida.

"In fact, it will get colder before it gets warmer and that is true not only this morning but for the middle part of our week as well," Wilson said. "It's windy and that is brining what it feels like down too."

The wind chill approached the upper 30s in Ocala early Tuesday.

Wednesday's low was expected to reach 42 degrees, Wilson reported.

"When you see me tomorrow, we are talking the low 40s," Wilson said. "The record low temperature for Oct. 29 is 47 degrees (set in 1952) and I'm looking at 42 degrees."

Tuesday's high was not expected to rise above 65 degrees.
