Temperatures Drop, But It’s The Last Of The Cold - For Now


The freeze warning in northern counties proved accurate this morning for Hernando, where the Brooksville airport dropped to 26 degrees and a Florida Automated Weather Network station in Hernando recorded a low of 22 about 6:30.

Of course, that’s Hernando, where it’s always colder, and no place else in the Tampa Bay area got anywhere close to those temperatures.

But that didn’t stop a lot of pre-dawn commuters around the region, even in South Tampa, from finding ice on their car windshields.

It hit 42 at Tampa International Airport, and MacDill and Lakeland registered 37. Vandenberg Airport had 32. Another automated site near the border of Pasco and southern Sumter counties had 29.

The automated station in Balm had a low of 37, and the station in Dover had 32.

But the weather service says this is the last really cold spell at least through the weekend and into early next week.
