and last updated

Temperatures are plunging behind this morning's cold front. As drier, colder air filters into SWFL, records are in jeopardy as we kick off Veterans Day.

Factor in the wind, and wind chill values will be in the upper 20s north and low to mid 30s for a majority of Southwest Florida.

This has prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Cold Weather Advisory for almost all of Southwest Florida, expect coastal Collier County.

Tomorrow afternoon will stay chilly with highs only reaching the upper 50s to low 60s across the area, the coolest Veterans Day afternoon on record for some locations.

It will stay wind with gusts to 25 mph. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect from 1 AM Monday until 4 PM Tuesday.

Wednesday will start off chilly once again in the 30s and 40s but will warm nicely in the afternoon, back to the mid-70s. By Friday temperatures return to the low 80s with lots of sunshine.
