Florida Tampa Bay brace for coldest day in eight years
Tampa, Florida, Jan 18 (IBNS): The National Weather Service of United States has issued a freeze warning for all of Tampa Bay as temperatures in Tampa Bay will be the coldest in eight years, media reports said.
According to weather reports for the third time this winter, snow hits Florida, US.
In Tampa, Florida thermometers dipped to 29 degrees, after record low for Jan.18 in 1981 when it was a frigid 25 degrees.
The below-freezing temperatures reportedly turned water spill from a truck into traffic-halting black ice on the Veterans Expressway.
The chill is further increased by the brisk northerly winds blowing at 10 to 15 mph and feels like it’s in the low 20s in some areas.
"Even though we’ve got full-on sunshine, it’s going to take a lot for our temperatures to start warming up," Gilmore said.
It would be for another two days that these wind patterns and cool temperatures would reportedly last before things warm up and it would start to get normal by the weekend.
"Even though we’ve got full-on sunshine, it’s going to take a lot for our temperatures to start warming up," WTSP 10Weather meteorologist Grant Gilmore was reported to state.
Gilmore added that even though the temperatures will be up to the low-to-mid 50s by this afternoon, even then, temperatures are about 15 to 17 degrees colder than they usually are this time of year, according to Gilmore.
