Expect a dry and chilly weekend ahead.
A brisk, northerly wind will bring to our area wind-chill readings in the 30s and 40s on Saturday morning and evening and in the 20s and 30s on Sunday morning, Terry said.
He said that depending on cloud coverage, we can expect Sunday to be the coldest morning of the season, with Orlando’s lows dipping to the mid-to-upper 30s.

On Friday afternoon, the National Weather Service issued freeze watches for Marion and Sumter counties for Sunday morning.
“We’ll also see near-freezing conditions in surrounding rural areas,” Terry said.
