"After the passage of our first spring front, highs this afternoon will remain well below average in the upper 60s," News 6 meteorologist Candace Campos said.

The main threat over the next few days will be the strong winds. Sustained winds of 15-20 mph will deteriorate marine and beach conditions, as well as increase the fire danger.

All of Central Florida will be under a red flag warning until 7 p.m. Monday evening. Red Flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are occurring. The combination of strong winds, and low humidity will create a very high fire grown potential.

Overnight lows will dip into the mid to upper 40s Monday, but feeling like the upper 30s to lower 40s when the wind chill is factored in.
