TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for Florida, citing the impending weather. According to the Governor’s Press Office statement, the order was made due to the Gulf Winter Weather System beginning on Tuesday and the potential hazards it could have on the affected communities. Dangerously cold temperatures are being felt across North Florida this week, with possibilities of snow and black ice.
