Florida counties brace for freezing temperatures as warnings are issued

Florida is experiencing a cold snap with temperatures dropping to as low as 31°F. The National Weather Service has issued freeze warnings for at least nine counties, including Suwannee, Columbia, and Duval, effective until Tuesday morning. Warnings are in place to protect vulnerable populations and prevent damage to plants and plumbing. Frost advisories are also active in several counties, including Clay and St. Johns. Despite the cold, forecasters do not expect snow due to dry air moving in behind the cold front. Meteorologists confirm there will be no snow through the holiday weekend.
