Good evening, Central Florida. We're wrapping up the day for you with the most important stories you need to know and your weather outlook.

Your Weather Planner

Another dry cold front will bring a punch of Arctic air our way by Tuesday, leading to temperatures that will once again remain more than 10° below average for this time of the year.

Tonight, that front will pass on by dropping lows into the 30s and 40s all across Central Florida.

A Freeze Warning is up for Marion County as parts of the county could experience a few hours of below freezing air.

Make sure to cover those plants tonight.

Patchy frost is also possible in spots across Sumter, Lake and Inland Volusia counties — especially around buildings that block the wind.

A more sizeable warm up by the weekend, and we could return to the upper 70s by early next week.

Highs: Upper 50s and Lower 60s

Lows: Mid-Upper 30s and Low 40s

Rain Coverage: 0%
