ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida is experiencing chilly conditions Tuesday morning, with some areas seeing wind chills in the 20s.

A cold weather advisory is in place for most of Central Florida until 9 a.m.

The advisory comes as freeze warnings have expanded to cover most of Central Florida, excluding Brevard and Coastal Volusia counties.

The conditions are expected to bring colder temperatures Tuesday night, with lows falling below freezing in some areas.

Afternoons are expected to remain sunny in our area with highs returning to the 60s from Wednesday to Friday.
