- Warmer weekend
- SEE BELOW: See our 7-day forecast ▼
The cold air stuck around all day, with most places struggling to get past the upper 40s to low 50s.
Another cold morning is on tap. Although spots near the coast will not be as cold, there will still be many areas away from the coast that have a freeze.
The other thing to keep in mind is that there will be a lot more frost, due to the winds going calm and slightly higher dew points.
Lows will range from the low to mid 20s in Citrus to Hernando counties, to the upper 20s in Pasco County, to near 30 in Polk County, low to mid 30s in Manatee and Pinellas counties, and upper 20s to mid 30s in Hillsborough County.
