ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Temperatures could fall to the freezing mark across parts of Tampa Bay as some of the coldest air of the season settles into the area.
Tampa, St. Petersburg and locations south should be OK, but it's the northern counties that need to monitor the temps. A freeze warning is in effect for Hernando County northward, with a freeze watch for parts of Pasco County.
A warning means widespread freezing temperatures at or below 32 degrees are expected, while a watch says there is the potential for such freezing weather.
This is the time to consider moving sensitive plants indoors or protest any outdoor vegetation that could be killed by the cold.
High temperatures will likely struggle to make it out of the 50s on Tuesday -- the first day of December. The normal high temperature in Tampa this time of year is 75 degrees, according to National Weather Service data.
