Near and below freezing temperatures are expected to continue for much of the week so residents should continue to take precautions to prepare for an unusually long period of freezing or subfreezing temperatures that could harm vegetation, pipes, animals and people.
Durations of freezing temperatures could range from 5-7 hours inland and 2-4 hours near the coast. Freeze Warnings could be issued for a large portion of Florida, with Hard Freeze Warnings likely for much of North Florida through the middle or latter parts of this week.
Residents and visitors should remember to protect Plants, Pets, Exposed Pipes, and practice Fire Safety. Since more people will be using space heaters and candles, make sure to keep them away from all flammable materials such as curtains and furniture, and it’s also recommended to install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. When outdoors try to stay dry and in wind-protected areas and wear multiple layers of loose-fitting, warm clothing.
And try to drink non-alcoholic fluids – alcohol has the tendency to lower your body temperature.
