🌬️A blast of dangerous cold is coming❄️

ORLANDO, Fla. –

Hi Insider. Nice to see you again, and welcome to this week’s weather newsletter.

I’m Meteorologist Michelle Morgan — and it’s going to get downright cold for several hours in many locations Thursday night into Friday morning.

It’s going to get cold! Should you cover your plants to protect them?

Colder air is moving in, and for a lot of areas, that means it’s time to start thinking about protecting your plants.

Temperatures are expected to drop low enough for frost — and even freezing conditions — so what you do now could make a big difference for your garden

These warm-to-cold temperature swings are in full force, and in some spots, readings could fall below freezing for hours at a time. Because of this, many gardeners are already covering plants or bringing in anything that’s frost-sensitive.

How to protect your pipes during cold weather

I’m Chief Meteorologist Candace Campos. Here in Central Florida, our homes are made to handle intense heat, bright sunshine, and powerful tropical winds — not long stretches of freezing cold.

Most winters, we’re usually just thinking about bringing pets inside and covering plants on a chilly night. But when cold air hangs around, and temperatures drop below freezing for more than 4–6 hours, exposed pipes can become a real issue.

When water inside pipes freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the pipe from the inside and increasing the risk of damage. Click here for more.

Florida snow… round two?

Hi guys, Meteorologist Jonathan Kegges here. Could it really happen two years in a row?

Back-to-back strong cold fronts could make it possible. The first Arctic front arrives Thursday, delivering a surge of cold air across the South.

Central Florida will feel the chill through early next week, but any snow chances remain focused on North Florida. Moisture ahead of the front will interact with that fresh blast of cold air, and some Gulf moisture streaming north could fall as snow.

While totals wouldn’t come close to the historic snowfall of 2025, even seeing flakes in Florida in consecutive years would be extremely rare. Click here for more.

You ever wonder why Florida goes hot to cold and back all the time? 🥶🥵

Welcome back, Insiders!

Thanks for joining me here for your latest weather newsletter. This is Meteorologist David Nazario here to discuss a small bit of why we Floridians love to call our state “bipolar”.

Cold snaps here don’t usually stick around very long. Take Thursday, for example: we woke up chilly, and by the afternoon, you’re sweating if you kept your hoodie on. That quick flip happens a lot because Florida sits so far south and is surrounded by warm ocean waters on both sides.

If you’re curious about the “why” behind it all, I’ve got a new article that dives deeper into the science — why it sometimes feels like we get all four seasons in just 24 hours.
