Temerature falls to record overnight low | Gainesville, FL

There was a good reason you needed to put on a jacket or sweater in Gainesville on Thursday morning. The city set a record overnight low and it took awhile for the sun to warm things back up.

The temperature fell to 55 degrees shortly before dawn, according to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville. Forecaster Peter Keegan said that beat the old record low of 56 degrees set in 1967.

Keegan also said that there is a chance we could break the low record again tonight. The forecast calls for an overnight low in the mid to upper 50s and the record low for the date was 57 degrees set in 1914.
