- Another chilly start across the Sunshine State, with many below freezing temperatures (27 to 31-degrees) observed across North Florida this morning.

- Rain chances this evening will gradually propagate further inland across East-Central Florida (20-30% chance of rain), with coastal showers remaining spotty to isolated in nature.
- Cloud cover increasing tonight will allow for overnight temperatures to moderate, with lows at or near freezing (35 to 32-degrees) confined to interior Northwest Florida.
- Strong onshore flow will lead to hazardous beach and marine conditions along the Florida East Coast, with a moderate to high risk of rip currents outlooked along all Atlantic beaches.
