Yes yet another cold morning dawned in Florida, as a matter of fact the
southern peninsula saw the coldest minimum temperatures so far this winter
season. The subfreezing line dipped south into the inland rural south
central peninsula, further south then I forecasted.

The cold spot in the state this morning was 26 deg. at East Nobleton on the
central peninsula. The cold spot across the north was 27 deg. at Quincy. The
cold spot across the south was 35 deg. at Immokalee. Here in Plant City east
of Tampa it was 32 deg. with frost.

Some other notable minimum temperatures include 27 deg. at Venus and 29 deg.
at Archbold, in the south central peninsula/northern Everglades citrus
growing area.

With the cold surface high pressure center axis still west of the peninsula,
cold air advection continues today on a NNW-N wind. Dry air mixing down to
the surface this afternoon will allow dewpoints to crash into the mid to
upper 20's in inland areas of the peninsula. With a calm to very light north
drainage wind down the peninsula tonight, in conjunction with low dewpoints
and clear skies, minimum temperatures for Wednesday morning 12/17/02 should
be as cold if not a little colder then this morning. The subfreezing line
should dip southward into the inland rural south central peninsula/northern
Everglades citrus growing region, with frost as far south as Immokalee.
Minimum temperatures between 26-30 deg, can be expected.
