Issued 01/10/01 1:00 PM As forecasted a hard freeze visited portions of the
peninsula early this morning, with light freeze conditions across south
central/northern Everglades. Clouds and wind aided in avoiding a hard freeze
across the citrus belt, however this observation is based on missing data
from a private automated weather observation network. The cold spot in the
state was 15 deg. at Nobleton in north central, with the sub freezing line
down to Immokalee in the northern Everglades. There may be some spotty
subfreezing temperatures across the north central peninsula tomorrow morning
but the freeze threat is now over, with near normal temperature expected
through at least Tuesday 01/16/01. We still project the coldest weather in
100+ years to move into the eastern U.S., as we move towards the third week
of this month onward. Some selected minimum temperatures this morning.
